Determining Multi‐Component Phase Diagrams with Desired Characteristics Using Active Learning

Phase diagrams and lipid domains in multicomponent lipid bilayer mixtures.

Understanding the phase behavior of biological membranes is helped by the study of more simple systems. Model membranes that have as few as 3 components exhibit complex phase behavior that can be well described, providing insight for biological membranes. A number of different studies are in agreement on general findings for some compositional phase diagrams, in particular, those that model the...

Determining Probabilities Using Tree Diagrams and Tables

At the end of a unit on probability, Ms. Pascal decided to allow her students to determine what kind of test the class would write. All the students’ names were put into a hat. Owen was chosen to spin a spinner divided into three equal regions to determine the kind of test: multiple choice (MC), short answer (SA), or a combination (MC & SA). Ava was chosen to roll a four-sided die to determine ...

Developing grain boundary diagrams for multicomponent alloys

Impurity-based, premelting-like, intergranular films (IGFs, a common type of grain boundary complexion) can form in various materials and influence sintering, creep, and microstructure development. A thermodynamic framework is presented to forecast the formation and stability of these premelting-like grain boundary complexions (a.k.a. interfacial “phases” that are thermodynamically two dimensio...
