The Multi-cell Monte Carlo method for phase prediction
September 28, 10-11am ESB 1001
Phase prediction in multicomponent alloys remains one of the most fundamental challenges. I present our Multicell Monte Carlo (MC)^2 method, for predicting stable phases of alloys from first-principles calculations. This method is particularly powerful when applied to multicomponent systems, for which phase diagrams do not exist. First, I introduce the (MC)^2 method and present its successful prediction of the stable phases of known binary systems. Next, I will present the application of (MC)^2 to various multicomponent alloys of refractory elements.
Prof. Maryam Ghazisaeidi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University. She received her Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and her B.S and M.S. degrees from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran. Her research interest is in the area of computational materials science at the atomic scale with an emphasis on understanding the structure and chemistry of defects to predict novel material behavior. She has received the NSF CAREER award in 2015 and the AFOSR Young Investigator Program (YIP) award in 2017.
