报告题目(英文)：Glass Formation and Crystallization of Metallic Materials

报告内容简介：

The critical cooling rates of metallic materials to avoid crystallization can span over 17 orders of magnitude. The origin of this vast range of glass-forming abilities remains unclear, even with considerable research efforts in the past 60 years. In recent years, we have been focusing on studying the crystallization kinetics and its structural origin in supercooled metallic liquids to understand the physical mechanism of glass formation. By using prototypical metallic systems with distinct glass-forming abilities, we performed large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to monitor the crystallization process. We also utilized enhanced sampling methods to measure the thermodynamics and fine-tune the local orderings. Contrary to common thoughts, we identified the critical role of liquid-crystal interfacial energy in not only crystal nucleation but also in crystal growth. Microscopically, the interfacial energy is determined by the nontrivial coupling between local structural and compositional orderings. The formation of crystal-like pre-orderings effectively wets the nuclei and reduces the topological and chemical gradients at the interface, which decreases the interfacial energy and facilitates crystallization. This finding is further corroborated by an order-killing strategy that can increase the critical cooling rate of a poor glass former by several orders of magnitude. The exceptional importance of competing ordering effects and local chemical orderings unique to metallic glasses is revealed. The findings have been further strengthened from single-component systems simulations and machine learning studies of a large database of binary model alloys. The application of the glass-forming ability new knowledge is explored in assisting the design of high-performance supercooled electrolytes for low temperature secondary batteries.
