Molecular dynamics simulations using an interatomic potential developed by artificial neural network deep machine learning are performed to study the local structural order in Al90Tb10 metallic glass. We show that more than 80% of the Tb-centered clusters in Al90Tb10 glass have short-range order (SRO) with their 17 first coordination shell atoms stacked in a 3661 or 15551 sequence. Medium-range order (MRO) in Bergman-type packing extended out to the second and third coordination shells is also clearly observed. Analysis of the network formed by the 3661 and 15551 clusters show that ~82% of such SRO units share their faces or vertexes, while only ~6% of neighboring SRO pairs are interpenetrating. Such a network topology is consistent with the Bergman-type MRO around the Tb-centers. Moreover, crystal structure searches using genetic algorithm and the neural network interatomic potential reveal several low-energy metastable crystalline structures in the composition range close to Al90Tb10. Some of these crystalline structures have the 3661 SRO while others have the 15551 SRO. While the crystalline structures with the 3661 SRO also exhibit the MRO very similar to that observed in the glass, the ones with the 15551 SRO have very different atomic packing in the second and third shells around the Tb centers from that of the Bergman-type MRO observed in the glassy phase.

Metallic glasses have attracted considerable interest in recent years due to their unique combination of superb properties and processability. Predicting bulk metallic glass formers from known parameters remains a challenge and the search for new sys
tems is still performed by trial and error. It has been speculated that some sort of confusion during crystallization of the crystalline phases competing with glass formation could play a key role. Here, we propose a heuristic descriptor quantifying confusion and demonstrate its validity by detailed experiments on two well-known glass forming alloy systems. With the insight provided by these results, we develop a robust model for predicting glass formation ability based on the spectral decomposition of geometrical and energetic features of crystalline phases calculated ab-initio in the AFLOW high throughput framework. Our findings indicate that the formation of metallic glass phases could be a much more common phenomenon than currently estimated, with more than 17% of binary alloy systems being potential glass formers. Our approach is capable of pinpointing favorable compositions, overcoming a major bottleneck hindering the discovery of new materials. Hence, it is demonstrated that smart descriptors, based solely on the energetics and structure of competing crystalline phases calculated from first-principles and available in online databases, others the sought-after key for accelerated discovery of novel metallic glasses.
We identify ground states of one-dimensional fermionic systems subject to competing repulsive interactions of finite range, and provide phenomenological and fundamental signatures of these phases and their transitions. Commensurable particle densitie
s admit multiple competing charge-ordered insulating states with various periodicities and internal structure. Our reference point are systems with interaction range $p=2$, where phase transitions between these charge-ordered configurations are known to be mediated by liquid and bond-ordered phases. For increased interaction range $p=4$, we find that the phase transitions can also appear to be abrupt, as well as being mediated by re-emergent ordered phases that cross over into liquid behavior. These considerations are underpinned by a classification of the competing charge-ordered states in the atomic limit for varying interaction range at the principal commensurable particle densities. We also consider the effects of disorder, leading to fragmentization of the ordered phases and localization of the liquid phases.
Neutron and x-ray scattering studies on relaxor ferroelectric systems Pb(Zn$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$ (PZN), Pb(Mg$_{1/3}$Nb$_{2/3}$)O$_3$ (PMN), and their solid solutions with PbTiO$_3$ (PT) have shown that inhomogeneities and disorder play important
roles in the materials properties. Although a long-range polar order can be established at low temperature - sometimes with the help of an external electric field; short-range local structures called the ``polar nano-regions (PNR) still persist. Both the bulk structure and the PNR have been studied in details. The coexistence and competition of long- and short-range polar orders and how they affect the structural and dynamical properties of relaxor materials are discussed.
Recently, a group of MAX phases, (Mo$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, (Mo$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, (W$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, (W$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, and (V$_{2/3}$Zr$_{1/3}$)$_2$AlC, with in-plane ordered double transition metals, named iMAX phas
es, have been synthesized. Experimentally, some of these MAX phases can be chemically exfoliated into two-dimensional (2D) single- or multilayered transition metal carbides, so-called MXenes. Accordingly, the 2D nanostructures derived from iMAX phases are named iMXenes. Here, we investigate the structural stabilities and electronic structures of the experimentally discovered iMAX phases and their possible iMXene derivatives. We show that the iMAX phases and their pristine, F, or OH-terminated iMXenes are metallic. However, upon O termination, (Mo$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$C, (Mo$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$C, (W$_{2/3}$Y$_{1/3}$)$_2$C, and (W$_{2/3}$Sc$_{1/3}$)$_2$C iMXenes turn into semiconductors. Owing to the absence of centrosymmetry, the semiconducting iMXenes may find applications in piezoelectricity. Our calculations reveal that the semiconducting iMXenes possess giant piezoelectric coefficients as large as 45$times10^{-10}$~C/m.
The paper describes the investigation of the properties of silver besilicate salt colloids in water medium. Ag6Si2O7 was obtained in a soft conditions, in water medium, at temperatures and pressure close to room ones. The morphology and crystallinity
of matter under investigations appear to depend on the growth conditions. Slow growth resulted in quasi-crystalline yellowish whiskers, while high concentration of precursors led to fast formation of the quasi-amorphous aggregates. The elemental constitution of object under study was determined with the help of Comebax-INCA set-up, and was then proved by chemical analysis. The ratio of elements was close to Ag6Si2O7, and depended a little whether the sample was taken from the sediments of reaction or from dried residue of a liquid medium. The experiments in Raman technique revile several well-resolvable bands in whisker-like samples, but only few of them were able to detect in quasi-amorphous material. In the last case the bands were broader, but the positions of weak broad bands were close to the positions of corresponding bands in whiskers. We can suggest, that the bands, common in two former cases, are due to oscillation in bepyramidal molecules of Ag6Si2O7, and the bands, seen only at whiskers, are due to long-rang order. The very special peculiarity was observed under chemical test with hydrochloric acid. The white flakes sedimentation appeared after addition of NaCl but do not appeared when HCl was added. This result can be explained if to assume the existence of silicon acid shell around the colloidal particles of silver besilicate. The model of silicon acid shell around colloids was proved by high resolution electron microscopy.
