Project Description

Design novel high-entropy alloys based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The calculations include the enthalpy of formation, elastic, electrical and thermal properties.

The ab initio results are used to derive interatomic potentials for LAMMPS using machine learning algorithms.


Software or Compute Methods

The work requires mpi jobs using Quantum ESPRESSO (http://www.quantum-espresso.org/) and LAMMPS (http://lammps.sandia.gov/).
