The knowledge base of a material consists of qualitative and quantitative understanding of thermodynamics, kinetics, crystallography, defects, and responses to service environments of the material. This symposium focuses on two of the most important aspects of materials: materials chemistry and materials processing in terms of temperature and time, which are primarily controlled by phase stability and diffusivity, respectively. Phase stability and diffusion data are to materials scientists as the compass (or GPS) and maps are to travelers. Combined with advanced computational techniques, they guide us through the multi-component com-position and time space to find phases fulfilling specific materials performance requirements. Traditionally, the quantitative data are obtained through extensive experimental investigations. With advances in information technology and computational techniques, computational approaches and their integration with experiment are contributing more and more to enhancing the efficiency and completeness in developing the materials knowledge base. The integration of computational and experimental routes provides a synergy for efficient creation of a materials knowledge-base. Topics for presentation include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Experimental creation of phase stability and diffusion data
- ab initio prediction of phase stability and diffusion data
- Modeling of phase stability and diffusion
- Applications of phase stability and diffusion data in microstructure simulation
- Design of experiments
- Interpretation of experimental observations
- Materials design
- Industrial applications
