First-order Interfacial Transformations in GB

Hui Zheng is a co-author on a recently published article in Physical Review Letters on “First-Order Interfacial Transformations with a Critical Point: Breaking the Symmetry at a Symmetric Tilt Grain Boundary”. A collaboration with the Luo group, this work examines symmetry breaking in the ∑5 (210) GB using a modified genetic algorithm with Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations.
