U.S.-Argentina Cooperative Research: Atomistic Simulation of Defect Structures in Intermetallic Alloys

这个美国和阿根廷的合作研究项目将对金属间合金中杂质的影响进行计算机模拟研究。更具体地说，将首先用金属间化合物中的氢，然后用金属和金属间化合物中的碳来模拟间隙杂质对引起缺陷的影响。该项目将由弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学的Diana Farkas以及阿根廷国家原子能能源委员会（CNEA）的Eduardo Savino和J. Abriata领导，双方已建立合作关系。萨维诺就职于CNEA布宜诺斯艾利斯，在那里的原子结构中心拥有原子间潜能开发方面的专业知识，而阿布里亚塔就职于CNEA巴里洛切，在金属氢效应领域贡献专业知识。与PI的计算机模拟技能相结合，合作提供了比个人更大的潜力。＊＊＊＊

9512968 Farkas This U.S.-Argentina collaborative research effort will carry out computer simulation studies of the effects of impurities in intermetallic alloys. More specifically, the effects of interstitial impurities in causing defects will be simulated, first with hydrogen in intermetallics, then with carbon in metals and intermetallics. The project will be led by Diana Farkas of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and Eduardo Savino and J. Abriata of the Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica (CNEA) in Argentina, building on an established collaboration. Savino works at CNEA Buenos Aires, where the Centro Atomico Constituyentes has expertise in interatomic potential development, whereas Abriata works at CNEA Bariloche, contributing expertise in the area of hydrogen effects in metals. Combined with the computer simulation skills of the PI, the collaboration provides greater potential than the individuals alone. ****
