| Project Title: |
Materials, Methods, Microstructure, and Magnetism |
| Project Description: |
The materials goals of this project are to address critical materials problems on the microstructural scale. Microstructural features such as dislocations, grain boundaries, impurities, precipitates, interfaces, and surfaces all break the periodicity of a perfect crystalline lattice and the fundamental questions relate to the locations of the atoms and their interactions (which determine, strength, ductility, transport properties, etc.). A major focus of our research is to establish the microscopic foundations for the relationship between technical magnetic properties and microstructure, i.e., what makes a good magnet. However, toward this goal are major problems involving microstructure (independent of magnetism), magnetism (independent of microstructure), giant magneto-resistance, and thermal properties. The materials research is predicated on exploiting the power of massively parallel supercomputers to develop a software environment for performing large scale quantum simulations on microstructural length and time scales. This is a joint project among the materials theory groups at Oak Ridge (ORNL), Ames, and Brookhaven National Laboratories, the computer and mathematical sciences groups at ORNL and Ames, and makes use of the massively parallel computers at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and ORNL. |
