Purja Pun, Y. Mishin, Phil. Mag., 2009, 89, 3245]. The principal objective of the work is to quantitatively characterise and analyse thermotransport in the system, i.e. diffusion driven by a temperature gradient. In addition, direct phenomenological coefficients for mass and thermal transport are also evaluated and analysed in the process. Furthermore, the results obtained are compared with previously published data for a different model of Ni50Al50 melt with an alternative embedded-atom method potential for the alloy as well as with experiment where possible. It is found that both potentials are able to consistently predict both direct transport coefficients over a wide temperature range. However, these two potentials are found to be inconsistent in characterising the cross-coupled heat and mass transport, predicting even different directions (sign) of the heat of thermotransport. The origin of this difference is discussed in the paper in detail.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:15 AEDT ]]> Diffusion in Ni-Zr Melts: Insights from Statistical Mechanics and Atomistic Modeling https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42615 < cNi < 0.5 both single-particle and collective diffusion dynamics slow down homogeneously upon undercooling of Ni–Zr melts. Furthermore, it is inferred that such homogeneous dynamical slowdown is related to the enhanced stability of undercooled melt against crystallization. As a consequence, Ni–Zr alloys within this composition range are identified as viable glass formers.]]> Fri 26 Aug 2022 15:47:33 AEST ]]>
