Porf. Lijun Zhang is now leading the PPM (Phase diagram, Phase transition & Materials design) Group. In our group, we are currently working on the computional thermodynamics, computational kinetics and their aided materials desgin. The integration of atomistic simulations, CALPHAD method, phase-field modeling, machine learning, and key experimental prepration/characterization techniques is employed. The related materials include: i) light alloys (Al-, Mg-); ii) high-temperature alloys (Ni-/Co-, HEAs, high-entropy superalloys, ODS steel); iii) energy materials (fuel cell, Li-battery).
