The phase transformation thermodynamics of post-transition metals, which form low-melting-point alloys, remain largely unknown. This project aims to explore low-energy metallurgy pathways enabled by liquid metals to discover such dynamics. The strategy is to harvest structured/crystalline materials by incorporating target metal species into liquid metal solvents and stimulating autonomous phase separation and pattern formation during phase transition. Contemporary instruments and technologies will be employed to achieve active control of these fundamental processes at different scales. The expected outcomes will reveal new insights in traditional metallurgy as well as extend metallurgical concepts to electronics, optics, and catalysis.

形成低熔点合金的后过渡金属的相变热力学在很大程度上仍不清楚。该项目旨在探索由液态金属实现的低能冶金途径，以发现这种动力学。该策略是通过将目标金属物种加入到液态金属溶剂中并在相变期间刺激自主相分离和图案形成来获得结构/晶体材料。将采用现代手段和技术，在不同规模上实现对这些基本过程的主动控制。预期的结果将揭示传统冶金学的新见解，并将冶金学概念扩展到电子学、光学和催化。
