Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.

Abstract (eng): We have studied the applicability of the Phase Field Crystal (PFC) model Hamiltonian in predicting phase diagrams of binary alloys.
The PFC model is a simplified version of the classical density functional theory of freezing.
The results presented in this work show that if the interaction parameters of the simple PFC are fitted with microscopic direct correlation functions, the thermodynamic properties of a single component system are predicted wrong.

After noting this, we present a new way to obtain the parameters for a one component system.
When this procedure is used, the liquid coexistence density becomes fitted correctly, which is a significant improvement to the original fitting procedure.
For metal alloys, we have derived a new solution model from the density-functional theory of classical systems, through which the long range interaction coefficients can be fitted to experimental data on mixing Gibbs free energy.

However a fitting procedure for the shorter wavelength correlations of an alloy lies beyond the scope of this work.
Nevertheless it seems clear that rather than trying to use the model for the calculation of phase diagrams, the experimentally known phase diagrams should be used to fit the correct interaction parameters.
