Plenary Lecture by Patrice E. A. Turchi (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory)
Wednesday, September 28th, 2016, 2:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m., Audimax, TU Darmstadt
Ab initio methodologies provide, in spite of their own limitations that will be briefly commented on, fundamental insight on various materials characteristics. This will be illustrated in the case of chemical-order trends and thermodynamic properties with ab initio-based predictions.
In addition, ab initio output plays an important role in supplementing in two ways CALPHAD that is the most versatile and preferred method for assessing the thermodynamics of complex multi-component alloys: either by direct input of ab initio energetics in thermodynamic databases, or, more challenging, by assessing ab initio-based thermodynamics à la CALPHAD. These two applications will be discussed in the context of phase diagram determination for selected transition metal and actinidebased alloys. Finally a few comments on future prospects in the alloy theory field, of critical importance for advancing materials design, will conclude this presentation.
Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. DOE by LLNL under Contract DEAC52-07NA27344.
Topics: ab initio calculations, ground-state properties, thermodynamics, multicomponent alloy

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
