Glass transition of aluminum melt. Molecular dynamics study
Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids. 2015. Vol. 429. P. 98–103.
Molecular dynamics study of transition from liquid aluminum into an amorphous state is carried out. Different
criteria for the glass transition are compared with each other: splitting of the second peak of the radial distribution
function, increasing of the number of atoms with icosahedron-like environment, increase of the selfdiffusion
activation energy, changes in the heat capacity. The discrepancy of the results obtained by different
criteria is discovered. Heat capacity dependence on temperature agrees qualitatively with theoretical and experimental
results. Influence of cooling rate on the glass transition temperature is studied. Although different
methods give different glass transition temperatures, the dependencies on cooling rate may be interpreted in
the Volkenstein and Ptitsyn's framework using either Arrhenius or Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann relaxation laws.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...

Проведено квантово-химическое моделирование механизма экстракции Fe(III) из солянокислого раствора с использованием гидрофобных эвтектических растворителей на основе 1-октанола. Установлено, что путь реакции существенно различается в зависимости от того, является ли инертный компонент донором или акцептором водородной связи в димере с октанолом. На основе оценки прочности водородных связей показано, что более слабое взаимодействие между компонентами упрощает протекание ...

The insufficient coverage of self-assembled monolayer (SAM) and inadequate control of the buried interface of perovskite still limited the performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, we report a reinforcing SAM and managing perovskite buried interface strategy using ethylenediamine tetramethylenephosphonic acid (EAPA) to address these challenges. Firstly, the EAPA solution washes away the unbound or ...

Ion migration at grain boundaries (GBs) is a key issue leading to the performance degradation of metal halide perovskites (MHPs). Given the weak lattice interactions, the properties of MHPs are highly sensitive to external strain, which is inevitable in practical applications. Nevertheless, a fundamental understanding of the GB behavior under strain is still lacking. Using ...

Understanding how liquids transition into glassy states under varying thermodynamic conditions remains a fundamental challenge in condensed matter physics. While temperature-driven vitrification has been extensively studied, the effects of high pressure on glass formation are comparatively underexplored -- particularly in molecular liquids. In this work, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the behaviour of ...

Molecular simulations and molecular dynamics in particular are among the most performance-demanding computational methods. As the scale of simulations increases, the task of processing the simulation results becomes a computationally-hungry problem as well.
