The glass-forming ability (GFA) of alloys, colloidal dispersions, and other particulate materials, as measured by the critical cooling rate Rc, can span more than ten orders of magnitude. Even after numerous previous studies, the physical features that control the GFA are still not well understood. For example, it is well known that mixtures are better glass formers than monodisperse systems and that particle size and cohesive energy differences among constituents improve the GFA, but it is not currently known how particle size differences couple to cohesive energy differences to determine the GFA. We perform molecular dynamics simulations to determine the GFA of equimolar, binary Lennard-Jones (LJ) mixtures versus the normalized cohesive energy difference ε_ and mixing energy ε¯AB between particles A and B. We find several important results. First, the log10Rc contours in the ε¯AB−ε_ plane are ellipsoidal for all diameter ratios, and thus Rc is determined by the Mahalanobis distance dM from a given point in the ε¯AB−ε_ plane to the center of the ellipsoidal contours. Second, LJ systems for which the larger particles have larger cohesive energy are generally better glass formers than those for which the larger particles have smaller cohesive energy. Third, dM(ε_,ε¯AB) is determined by the relative Voronoi volume difference between particles and local chemical order SAB, which gives the average fraction of nearest-neighbor B particles surrounding an A particle and vice versa. In particular, the shifted Mahalanobis distance dM−dM0 versus the shifted chemical order SAB−SAB0 collapses onto a hyperbolic master curve for all diameter ratios. These results identify design guidelines for improving the GFA of binary mixtures containing particles with different sizes, cohesive, and mixing energies.

To ensure reliable device manufacture and operation, it is essential to understand the mechanisms of solder joint crack formation and the recrystallisation behavior of solder joint intermetallics and alloys. However, due to difficulties in observing real-time atomistic scale analysis, we still do not fully understand that mechanisms of failure. Here, we developed an innovative in-situ method using high-voltage electron microscopy for observation of microstructural features of a solder joint during deformation. This technique was used to observe events including dislocation formation, recrystallisation, grain rotation and crack formation in a SAC305 alloy soldered on a copper substrate.

The development of electronic THz wave rotational absorption spectroscopy for quantitative gas sensing and its experimental validation is reported. The implementation of a THz wave spectrometer operating in the 220 to 330 GHz frequency band using state-of-the-art electronic THz wave radiation sources and detectors is described. The novel system technology for THz wave gas phase spectroscopy is validated by the detection of a broad range of relevant volatile organic compounds, nitrogen compounds, halogenated hydrocarbons, and commercial refrigerants. The sensitivity of the spectrometer meets gas species detection limits set by, e.g. occupational health and safety standards. The large bandwidth (220 to 330 GHz), high frequency resolution (0.5 MHz), and rapid frequency scanning (160 GHz/s) of the spectrometer enables the important analysis of gas mixtures.
