    Machine learning molecular dynamics reveals the structural origin of the first sharp diffraction peak in high-density silica glasses

    The first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) in the total structure factor has long been regarded as a characteristic feature of medium-range order (MRO) in amorphous materials with a polyhedron network, and its un...

    Atomistic weak interaction criterion for the specificity of liquid metal embrittlement

    Liquid metal embrittlement (LME) occurs in some solid–liquid metal elements’ couples (e.g., Fe-Zn and Al-Ga), called specificity. Although some material parameters like solubility and bonding energy were sugge...
