Despite intensive study of the mixing mechanism during lithiation of Si negative electrode, the atomistic investigation of the formation and propagation of phase boundary for different orientation of Si remains unclear. We, therefore, performed molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the structural evolution of the phase boundary with a newly developed reactive force field (ReaxFF) potential for Li–Si.

Structure and dynamics of the phase boundary depend on the crystalline phase of the Si. In particular, the location of the (111) plane plays a key role in crystal-to-amorphous phase transformation. A relatively thick phase boundary is developed at the (100) surface, while an atomically sharp interface of negligible thickness is formed at the (111) surface. An amorphous phase of lithiated Si is developed beyond the phase boundary, in which the ratio of lithium to silicon atoms is steady at 0.8.

<p align="justify"><span><span><span><span><span><span>Because of their abundance, sodium and calcium can be attractive in ion batteries for large-scale grid storage. However, many of the anode materials being pursued have limitations including volume expansions, lack of passivating films, and slow kinetics. Here, we investigate the adsorption of Na and Ca on graphene with divacancy and Stone-Wales defects in graphene. Our results show that although adsorption of Na and Ca is not possible on pristine graphene, enhanced adsorption is observed on defective graphene becuause of increased charge trnasfer between the adatoms and defects. We find that the capacity of graphene increases with the density of defects. For the maximum possible divacancy defect densities, capacities of 1450 and 2900 mAh/g for Na- and Ca- ion batteries, respectively, can be achieved. For Stone-Wales defects, we find maximum capacities of 1071 and 2142 mAh/g for Na and Ca,respectively. Our results provide guidelines to create better high-capacity anode materials for Na- and Ca-ion batteries. </span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

We cordially invite you to participate in the minisymposium "<strong>Materials for Extreme Environments: Multi-Scale Experiments and Simulations</strong>" at the <strong>50th Society of Engineering Science Annual Technical Meeting</strong> (<a href="http://www.brown.edu/Conference/ses2013/" title="http://www.brown.edu/Conference/ses2013/">http://www.brown.edu/Conference/ses2013/</a>). The Meeting will be held at Brown niversity, RI, USA during <strong>July 28-31, 2013</strong>.
</p>
<p>
The search for ideal structural materials has been intimately tied to<br />
the history of mankind, sometimes even linked to the rise and fall of<br />
civilizations. Design and development of strong materials through<br />
microstructural engineering has been at the core of this progress.<br />
Recent advances in superior synthesis characterization techniques<br />
coupled with increasing sophistication of computational prowess in<br />
materials modeling are expected to enable designing optimal materials<br />
for applications that span across a range of temperature-, pressure-,<br />
strains-, and rates.
</p>
<p>
This symposium proposes to bring together researchers in the field of<br />
experimental and computational materials mechanics with a focus on understanding the plasticity mechanisms in metal microstructures<br />
subjected to dynamic stimuli that range over several orders of<br />
magnitudes. The topics of interest include but not limited to:
</p>
<p>
(i) External stimuli – temperature excursion, high strain-rate, diffusion of species;
</p>
<p>
(ii) Deformation mechanisms – dislocation plasticity, twinning, phase transformation, fracture;
</p>
<p>
(iii) Modeling and Simulations – first-principles, atomistic, dislocation<br />
dynamics, crystal plasticity, homogenized continuum methods;
</p>
<p>
(iv)Experiments – characterization techniques, in-situ TEM, micro-scale testing, high-rate techniques.
</p>
<p>
Of particular interest are studies that bridge between experimental<br />
multi-scale characterization and mechanism-based multi-scale models for<br />
plasticity at fundamental length-scales.

</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<span>"Shih Choon Fong is internationally recognized for his significant contributions in nonlinear fracture mechanics and computational methods for fracture analyses. With some 150 publications in leading scientific journals to his credit, he is among the world’s most frequently cited researchers in engineering. Since becoming president of the National University of Singapore in 2000, he has fostered a research-intensive focus and elevated the university's global reputation.</span><span> </span>
</p>
<p>
<span>Shih received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1973 and was a member of the Brown faculty from 1981 to 1997. Among his many honors and affiliations, he was elected a foreign honorary member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Earlier this year, it was announced that Shih will become founding president of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia on December 1, 2008."</span>

</p>
<p>
<em><span>Professor Shih will give a speech as part of the commencement forums on Saturday, May 24th 2008 (11 a.m., Sidney E. Frank Hall for Life Sciences, Nathan Marcuvitz Auditorium, Room 220)</span></em><span>:</span><span> </span><span> </span>
</p>
<p>
<strong><span>Journeys to the West: Science, Technology, Culture</span></strong><span> </span>
</p>
<p>
<span>Shih Choon Fong, president-elect of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and current president of the National University of Singapore, will discuss the modern significance of Journey to the West, the 16th-century Chinese classic that recounts an epic journey in search of knowledge and wisdom. European explorers launched "journeys to the West" to discover new lands, frontiers, and wealth. More recently, journeys to the West have sought scientific and technological advancement. In today's interdependent and culturally complex world, journeys to the West have come full circle to become searches for understanding of different peoples and cultures.</span><span> </span>
