The origin of glass formation is one of the most fundamental issues in glass science. The
glass-forming ability (GFA) of multicomponent systems, such as metallic glasses and phase …

We develop a generic strategy and simple numerical models for multicomponent metallic
glasses for which the swap Monte Carlo algorithm can produce highly stable equilibrium …

Understanding the mechanisms by which crystal nuclei form is crucial for many phenomena
such as gaining control over crystallization in glass-forming materials or accurately modeling …

While common growth models assume a structure-less liquid composed of atomic flow units,
structural ordering has been shown in liquid metals. Here, we conduct in situ transmission …

The process of crystal nucleation can be accelerated or retarded by ultrasonic vibration,
which is particularly attractive for the addictive manufacture and thermoplastic forming of …

When we cool down a liquid below the melting temperature, it can either crystallize or
become supercooled, and then form a disordered solid called glass. Understanding what …

Despite a wealth of experimental studies focused on determining and improving mechanical
properties and development of fundamental understanding of underlying mechanisms …

In this work, we have developed a multiscale shear-transformation-zone (STZ) model to
simulate inelastic deformations in amorphous materials at macroscale without using …

Numerous experimental and computational studies show that continuous hopper flows of
granular materials obey the Beverloo equation that relates the volume flow rate Q and the …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to compress binary hard spheres into jammed
packings as a function of the compression rate R, size ratio α, and number fraction x S of …
