1 SMARTMET project: Towards breaking the inverse ductility-strength relation B. Grabowski, C. Tasan SMARTMET ERC advanced grant 3.8 Mio Euro for 5 years (Raabe/Neugebauer) Adaptive Structural Materials group at MPIE finite T ab initio B. Grabowski + 7 members multiscale in situ experiments C. Tasan + 7 members Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung Düsseldorf, Germany

2 Inverse strength-ductility relation increase strength decrease ductility increase ductility decrease strength for a single hardening mechanism!

3 Inverse strength-ductility relation Break inverse relation by new hardening mechanisms!

4 SMARTMET idea Phase instability + Nanoparticles combined increase in strength and ductility High risk high gain idea!

5 SMARTMET example The ideal outcome: Crack propagation stopped by transformed nano-particle!

6 SMARTMET close theory-experiment collaboration Investigation of unstable phases experimentally difficult close collaboration of theory and experiment required! Requirements for ab initio part: Approach: inclusion of relevant finite temperature mechanisms: T=0 K, electronic, quasiharmonic, anharmonic, magnetic high precision at lowest possible computational effort description of unstable phases methodological development necessary in first stage, study of (unstable) bulk phases simulate influence of host matrix by strain dependence in later stage, study explicit influence of interface and particle size

7 SMARTMET ab initio part very demanding computations CPU times: days to weeks restriction to several 100 atoms BUT: accurate energetics and kinetics possible

8 Methodological development crucial 1000 years 1 year 20 days Needed CPU time [1,2] Molecular dynamics Thermodyn. Integration (logarithmic) UP-TILD [1] CPU: AMD Opteron, 2.4 GHz, serial [2] System: aluminum, 32 atoms, pseudopotential, 14 Ry (190 ev) cutoff 4x4x4 k points Reasonable simulation times
