Computational study of the structure of indium alloys at low temperatures using ab initio methods

Creator:

Shin, Hongsik (Jay)

Abstract:

Crystals are solid materials with periodic and symmetric molecular patterns. The structure of a crystalline solid determines its properties, making it essential to study its structures. From the principle of minimum energy, a crystal will choose a structure with the lowest free energy F = U – TS. At low...

Beyond Scattering: Identifying the Boundaries of Light Control with a Genetic Wavefront Optimization Algorithm

Creator:

Weller, Jesse A.

Abstract:

The ability to focus light through strongly scattering materials is opening up exciting new avenues in many fields, such as optics, computer vision, biology, and medicine, which utilize light delivery and imaging techniques. Efficient, high resolution wavefront shaping and optimization methods are crucial to enabling this new capability. In this...

First principles study of finite temperature phase stability in (Cu,Ag,Au)In₂ and Al₂Cu alloys

Creator:

Holmes, Aleczander S.

Abstract:

The common choice in computational approximations, from 0 K to room temperature, of solid materials is to assume the structure remains unchanged at low temperatures. Often such an approximation is a very reasonable assumption. However, this approximation is not absolute and can break down even for relatively simple materials such...
