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.

形成低熔点合金的过渡后金属的相转化热力学仍然很大未知。该项目旨在探索液体金属能够发现这种动态的低能冶金途径。该策略是通过将目标金属物质掺入液态金属溶剂中，并刺激相变期间的自主相分离和图案形成来收获结构化/结晶材料。将采用当代工具和技术在不同尺度上积极控制这些基本过程。预期的结果将揭示传统冶金学以及将冶金概念扩展到电子，光学和催化的新见解。
