Slip-dominated structural transitions

Kanka Ghosh, Oğuz Umut Salman, Sylvain Queyreau, and Lev Truskinovsky

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 073604 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

By introducing a novel method of tracking the history of atomic-scale metric tensors in molecular dynamics, the authors uncover hidden micro-slips during pressure-induced square to hexagonal transition. The purely geometrical tessellation of the configurational space of metric tensors creates a possibility to distinguish between elastic and plastic deformations and reveals previously hidden “micro-slips” under “shuffle”, portraying a central role of lattice invariant shears in this class of phase transformation. The discovered slip-dominated mechanism during the square to hexagonal transition contains some generic elements and is expected to be common for most reconstructive transitions including the iconic BCC-HCP and FCC-HCP transitions.

Computing ternary liquid phase diagrams: Fe-Cu-Ni

Dallas R. Trinkle

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 073801 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

Liquid immiscible systems, like Fe-Cu, offer exciting possibilities for additive manufacturing, but determining the phase diagram is difficult. Here, the phase diagram for the ternary liquid alloy Fe-Cu-Ni is mapped out by calculating the Gibbs free energy across composition and temperature. A virtual semigrand canonical Widom approach allows for efficient computation of free energy differences. The approach can be used as a post-processing step with regular molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo simulations and can be applied to solids or liquids. The phase diagram, miscibility gap, and spinodal decompositions are accurately determined, with a computational cost similar to the trajectory calculation itself.

Revealing the interstitial-mediated sluggish diffusion mechanism in concentrated solid-solution alloys via machine learning-integrated kinetic Monte Carlo

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 073608 (2025) - Published 17 July, 2025

Interstitial diffusion plays a crucial role in phase stability and irradiation response in concentrated solid-solution alloys (CSAs). Here, the authors integrate machine learning (ML) with kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) to investigate interstitial-mediated diffusion in Fe–Ni CSAs. Their ML model—trained on migration barriers obtained via nudged elastic band calculations with an EAM potential—predicts barriers on-the-fly during kMC simulations. They demonstrate that sluggish diffusion emerges when reductions in the tracer correlation factor outweigh increases in jump frequency. Barrier differences among correlated migration paths form a ‘route selector’ that favors slower-diffusing species, amplifying correlation effects and suppressing jump-frequency gains. These findings apply broadly to other CSA systems.

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 074007 (2025) - Published 23 July, 2025

Two-dimensional (2D) materials and their heterostructures continue to attract significant research interest owing to their unique physical properties and promising technological applications. The weak van der Waals interactions between individual layers give rise to atomically sharp interfaces and intricate moire patterns, often involving unit cells with thousands of atoms. These structural complexities present major challenges for $a b$ $i n i t i o$ simulations. In this study, the authors systematically evaluate the performance of several universal machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs), employing a range of structural and electronic similarity metrics tailored to 2D van der Waals heterostructures. The results indicate that the most accurate MLIPs reach a level of precision comparable to the intrinsic uncertainty of density functional theory due to the choice of exchange correlation functional.

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 074403 (2025) - Published 8 July, 2025

Probing topological quantum states at the atomic limit is a frontier in physics, yet it is often hindered by the “dead layer” effect in ultrathin films. The authors overcome this challenge by designing SrRuO $_{3}$ /SrIrO $_{3}$ heterostructures, demonstrating that interfacial effects can stabilize metallicity and ferromagnetism in SrRuO $_{3}$ down to a single unit cell. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy provides direct evidence of its robust metallic band structure. This work not only revives exotic states in ultrathin SrRuO $_{3}$ but also showcases a powerful pathway to tune the Berry curvature and anomalous Hall effect via interface engineering, opening new avenues for designing topological quantum devices in the two-dimensional limit.

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 074801 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

Spatially resolved vibrational electron energy loss spectroscopy has enabled studies of phonon behavior with atomic-to-nanometer scale resolution. However, the interpretation of local vibrational signals can be hampered by delocalized scattering contributions from surface excitations. We present an approach to disentangle surface and bulk contributions, enabling the isolation of interfacial phonons in complex oxide heterostructures. Applying this method to a YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ O $_{7 - δ}$ /(La,Sr)(Al,Ta)O $_{3}$ interface, we measured atomic-scale phonon scattering suggesting the presence of interfacial phonon modes that may be relevant to superconductivity properties of underdoped YBa $_{2}$ Cu $_{3}$ O $_{7 - δ}$ thin films.

Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 075801 (2025) - Published 2 July, 2025

Surface-sensitive electron microscopy, combined with in situ capabilities, enables nanoscale observation of physicochemical processes on catalytic surfaces in real time, providing a powerful tool to investigate surface dynamics under reactive environments. In this work, it allows the authors to unravel the detailed surface reduction mechanism of NiO catalysts—an essential activation step for various catalytic reactions. The facet-dependent reduction dynamics are revealed and supported by surface and binding energies derived from first-principles calculations. Atomic-scale imaging further resolves the Ni/NiO interfacial structure after reduction. This study underscores the power of in situ surface-sensitive electron microscopy in probing surface dynamics in catalytic materials.

Zeolites, renowned for their unique porous structures, are widely used in applications like gas separation and ion-exchange. However, discovering zeolite-like materials with high potassium ion (K⁺) selectivity has traditionally been time-consuming and expensive. In this study, the authors propose a data-driven paradigm combining Artificial Intelligence and Density Functional Theory to efficiently identify new zeolite-like structures with enhanced K⁺ selectivity. Their framework identifies a novel porous material with the highest K⁺ adsorption capacity to date. This approach paves the way for more efficient materials discovery and the development of advanced ion-selective membranes and energy storage materials.
