A software package for generating robust and accurate potentials using the moment tensor potential framework

Journal Article Computer Physics Communications · March 1, 2026 We present the Plan for Robust and Accurate Potentials (PRAPs), a software package for training and using moment tensor potentials (MTPs) in concert with the Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials (MLIP) software package. PRAPs provides an automated workfl ... Full text Cite

Integrated computational and experimental investigation of Groups V and VI metals in (M,Hf,Ti,Zr)B2-(M,Hf,Ti,Zr)C ceramics

Journal Article Journal of the European Ceramic Society · February 1, 2026 Dual-phase compositionally complex ultra-high temperature ceramics were formulated by incorporating different Groups V and VI metals such as V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, or W into a base composition containing the Group IV elements, Hf, Ti, and Zr. Metal distributio ... Full text Cite

Soliquidy: a descriptor for atomic geometrical confusion

Journal Article Npj Computational Materials · December 1, 2025 Tailoring material properties often requires understanding the solidification process. Herein, we introduce the geometric descriptor Soliquidy, which numerically captures the Euclidean transport cost between the translationally disordered versus ordered st ... Full text Cite
