  1. 1. Atomic scale modeling of ordering phenomena

    Author : Mattias Ångqvist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tungsten carbide; alloys; ordering phenomena; zeolites; inorganic clathrates; Cluster expansion; Monte Carlo;

    Abstract : Ordering phenomena in materials often have a crucial impact on materials properties. They are governed by the competition between entropy and energy. Accordingly simulating these aspects requires the construction of models that enable a computationally efficient exploration of the relevant configuration space. READ MORE

  2. 2. First-principles investigations of ordering in binary alloys

    Author : Moshiour Rahaman; Andrei Ruban; Staunton Julie; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ordering; random; alloys;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis is to study ordering in binary alloys on the basis of first-principles or {\it ab-initio} techniques employing density functional theory (DFT). The ordering phenomena of materials are of crucial importance for technological applications. READ MORE

  4. 4. Ordering in Crystalline Short-Chain Polymer Electrolytes

    Author : Anti Liivat; Joseph Nordgren; Josh Thomas; Daniel Brandell; David Brown; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Atomic and molecular physics; polymer electrolytes; molecular dynamics; ionic conductivity; crystalline ordering; polymer chain length; smectic; nematic; Atom- och molekylfysik;

    Abstract : Polymer electrolytes are the most obvious candidates for safe "all-solid" Li-ion batteries and other electrochemical devices. However, they still have relatively poor ionic conductivities, which limits their wider adoption in commercial applications. READ MORE

  5. 5. Structure and chemical ordering in metallic nanoparticles from atomic scale modeling

    Author : Magnus Rahm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticles; regular truncated octahedron; chemical ordering; nanoparticle shapes; molecular dynamics; icosahedron; Monte Carlo; modeling; Marks decahedron; nanoparticle structures;

    Abstract : In the last decades, a wide range of attractive properties have put metallic nanoparticles in the spotlight. These properties, often related to optical response and catalytic performance, are to a large extent dependent on structure and chemical ordering, that is, the distribution of elements in the nanoparticle.
