FPGA Acceleration of GCN in Light of the Symmetry of Graph Adjacency Matrix

Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNs) are widely used to process large-scale graph data. Different from deep neural networks (DNNs), GCNs are sparse, irregular, and unstructured, posing unique challenges to hardware acceleration with regular processing elements (PEs). In particular, the adjacency matrix of a GCN is extremely sparse, leading to frequent but irregular memory access, low spatial/temporal data locality and poor data reuse. Furthermore, a realistic graph usually consists of unstructured data (e.g., unbalanced distributions), creating significantly different processing times and imbalanced workload for each node in GCN acceleration. To overcome these challenges, we propose an end-to-end hardware-software co-design to accelerate GCNs on resource-constrained FPGAs with the features including: (1) A custom dataflow that leverages symmetry along the diagonal of the adjacency matrix to accelerate feature aggregation for undirected graphs. We utilize either the upper or the lower triangular matrix of the adjacency matrix to perform aggregation in GCN to improve data reuse. (2) Unified compute cores for both aggregation and transform phases, with full support to the symmetry-based dataflow. These cores can be dynamically reconfigured to the systolic mode for transformation or as individual accumulators for aggregation in GCN processing. (3) Preprocessing of the graph in software to rearrange the edges and features to match the custom dataflow. This step improves the regularity in memory access and data reuse in the aggregation phase. Moreover, we quantize the GCN precision from FP32 to INT8 to reduce the memory footprint without losing the inference accuracy. We implement our accelerator design in Intel Stratix10 MX FPGA board with HBM2, and demonstrate 1.3x-110.5x improvement in end-to-end GCN latency as compared to the state-of the-art FPGA implementations, on the graph datasets of Cora, Pubmed, Citeseer and Reddit.

Intermetallic phase formation in Al-Si-Zr alloys during hot isostatic pressing revealed by experiments and molecular dynamics

Understanding phase transformations at alloy interfaces is critical for the design of advanced structural materials. Here, in this study, we investigate the formation mechanisms of the Al 2 SiZr intermetallic phase in the Al-Si-Zr system under hot isostatic pressing (HIP) using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and thermodynamic analysis. A unique aspect of our approach in MD involves the replacement of a disordered Al 2 SiZr stoichiometry with an ordered phase at the Al-Zr interface once HIP results in the desired Al 2 SiZr stoichiometry, allowing us to compute the total energetic cost of transformation by accounting for both formation energies and diffusion barriers. Diffusion coefficients and activation energies, extracted across a range of temperatures, reveal that HIP substantially enhances atomic mobility, creating favorable stoichiometry for phase evolution. Our results show that Al 2 SiZr phase formation is kinetically unfavorable at lower temperatures but becomes feasible when the thermodynamic driving energy surpass a critical energy threshold.

Coupling of organic cation and inorganic lattice in methylammonium lead halide perovskites: Insights into a pressure-induced isostructural phase transition

Organic-inorganic hybrid metal-halide perovskite (OIHP) materials provide a tunable platform for engineering their optoelectronic properties. Although several high-pressure studies have been conducted from the OIHP family of single crystals and films, the exact nature of the dynamic coupling of the CH 3 NH 3 (MA) cation with the octahedral lattice framework and the mechanisms responsible for the structural phase transformation under pressure are not well captured. By combined photoluminescence (PL), synchrotron-based x-ray diffraction, and Raman-scattering studies as a function of pressure from methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr 3 ), we shed light on an isostructural phase transition due to the coupling of the MA cation and the PbBr 6 lattice through hydrogen bonding. The sharp discontinuities at ~ 1 GPa and ~ 3 GPa in the PL peak positions correlate with the structural changes observed in high-pressure XRD and Raman-scattering studies. The electronic band edge as a function of pressure is calculated within density-functional theory. The PL peak position, intensity and width of the excitonic peak show significant changes at 2 GPa, which corroborate the changes observed in high-pressure Raman-scattering studies. The frequencies of the lattice modes and the C-H/N-H bending and stretching modes of the MA cation show anomalous changes and other nuances at 2 GPa. The suppression of rotational and orientational disorder of the organic moiety is initiated at 2 GPa and the ordering is completed by 3.0 GPa, leading to an order-disorder type cubic II (Im$\overline{3}$) to orthorhombic ( Pnma ) phase transition. Along with the revelation of an isostructural transformation at 2 GPa, this paper highlights the impact of molecular vibrations on the electronic properties of MAPbBr 3 under pressure.

From diamond to BC8 to simple cubic and back: Kinetic pathways to post-diamond carbon phases from metadynamics

Understanding the kinetic pathways connecting carbon polymorphs at multimegabar pressures remains a major unsolved problem in high-pressure physics. Here, we provide insights into the long-standing question of BC8 formation and stability by combining a state-of-the-art SNAP machine-learning interatomic potential with enhanced sampling via metadynamics, enabling direct access to transition mechanisms far beyond the reach of standard molecular dynamics. Our simulations show that carbon phase transformations are intrinsically complex, proceeding through multiple intermediate disordered and crystalline states governed by nontrivial kinetic ordering. We determine the upper pressure limit for BC8 formation and reveal that hexagonal diamond transforms to BC8 faster than cubic diamond—an unexpected and experimentally testable prediction. We also identify a 𝑃⁢222 carbon phase that becomes competitive with diamond and simple cubic above 1.8 TPa, and we demonstrate that BC8 may be quenched to ambient conditions at moderate temperatures. Altogether, these results establish a general and transferable framework for resolving kinetic pathways in solid-solid phase transitions and provide physical insights into carbon's complex high-pressure landscape.

Interplay of broken symmetry and delocalized excitations in the insulating state of 1 T –Ta⁢S 2

Coexistence of localized and extended excitations is central to the macroscopic properties of correlated materials. For 5⁢d transition-metal compounds, electron correlations alone generally do not lead to a metal-insulator (Mott) transition, with insulating behavior usually resulting from their coupling with magnetic ordering and/or structural distortions. 1⁢T–Ta⁢S 2 is a prototypical example of such correlated insulating behavior, with a high-symmetry metallic phase transforming into a distorted, charge-density wave (CDW) insulating state at low temperatures. The nature of the insulating phase as well as the existence and relevance of the localized electron physics remains debated. We resolve this standing controversy in 1⁢T–Ta⁢S 2 combining resonant inelastic x-ray spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. We observe five electronic excitations arising from the interband transitions of the Ta 5d orbitals and the S 3⁢p ligand state, with none of the excitations on the order of the Mott gap. These excitations cannot be explained within the framework of standard multiplet calculations that assume a localized wave function, but instead, are captured by a band-theory framework accounting for the low symmetry of the crystal field in the CDW state. Our findings suggest that the electronic properties of 1T–Ta⁢S 2 are dominated in the visible by both plasmonic quasiparticles and interband transitions, with no resonance associated with a putative Mott transition observed in the 0–3 eV energy range. Finally, our discovery provides insights into the electron localization and the Mott vs band-insulator debate in 1T–Ta⁢S 2 and other transition-metal materials.

Equations of state, phase relations, and oxygen fugacity of the Ru-RuO 2 buffer at high pressures and temperatures

Experimental studies and measurements of inclusions in diamonds show that ferric iron components are increasingly stabilized with depth in the mantle. To determine the thermodynamic stability of such components, their concentration needs to be measured at known oxygen fugacities. The metal-oxide pair Ru and RuO 2 are ideal as an internal oxygen fugacity buffer in high-pressure experiments. Both phases remain solid to high temperatures and react minimally with silicates, only exchanging oxygen. To calculate oxygen fugacities at high pressure and temperature, however, requires information on the phase relations and equation of state properties of the solid phases. We have made in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements in a multi-anvil press on mixtures of Ru and RuO 2 to 19.4 GPa and 1473 K with which we have determined phase relations of the RuO 2 phases and derived thermal equations of state (EoS) parameters for both Ru and RuO 2 . Rutile-structured RuO 2 was found to undergo two phase transformations, first at ~7 GPa to an orthorhombic structure and then above 12 GPa to a cubic structure. The phase boundary of the cubic phase was constrained for the first time at high pressure and temperature. We have derived a continuous Gibbs free energy expression for the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases of RuO 2 by fitting the second-order phase transition boundary and P-V-T data for both phases, using a model based on Landau theory. The transition between the orthorhombic and cubic phases was then used along with EoS terms derived for both phases to determine a Gibbs free energy expression for the cubic phase. We have used these data to calculate the oxygen fugacity of the Ru + O 2 = RuO 2 equilibrium, which we have parameterized as a single polynomial across the stability fields of all three phases of RuO 2 . The expression is log 10 f O 2 (Ru – RuO 2 ) = (7.782 – 0.00996P + 0.001932P 2 – 3.76 × 10 –5 P 3 ) + (–13 763 + 592P – 3.955P 2 )/T + (–1.05 × 10 6 – 4622P)/T 2 , which should be valid from room pressure up to 25 GPa and 773–2500 K, with an estimated uncertainty of 0.2 log units. Our calculated fO 2 is shown to be up to 1 log unit lower than estimates that use previous expressions or ignore EoS terms.

Phase-Selective Epitaxial Growth of Heterophase Nanostructures on Unconventional 2H-Pd Nanoparticles

Heterostructured, including heterophase, noble-metal nanomaterials have attracted much interest due to their promising applications in diverse fields. However, great challenges still remain in the rational synthesis of well-defined noble-metal heterophase nanostructures. Furthermore, we report the preparation of Pd nanoparticles with an unconventional hexagonal close-packed (2H type) phase, referred to as 2H-Pd nanoparticles, via a controlled phase transformation of amorphous Pd nanoparticles. Impressively, by using the 2H-Pd nanoparticles as seeds, Au nanomaterials with different crystal phases epitaxially grow on the specific exposed facets of the 2H-Pd, i.e., face-centered cubic (fcc) Au (fcc-Au) on the (002)h facets of 2H-Pd while 2H-Au on the other exposed facets, to achieve well-defined fcc-2H-fcc heterophase Pd@Au core–shell nanorods. Moreover, through such unique facet-directed crystal-phase-selective epitaxial growth, a series of unconventional fcc-2H-fcc heterophase core–shell nanostructures, including Pd@Ag, Pd@Pt, Pd@PtNi, and Pd@PtCo, have also been prepared. Impressively, the fcc-2H-fcc heterophase Pd@Au nanorods show excellent performance toward the electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO 2 RR) for production of carbon monoxide with Faradaic efficiencies of over 90% in an exceptionally wide applied potential window from –0.9 to –0.4 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode), which is among the best reported CO 2 RR catalysts in H-type electrochemical cells.

Spotlight: efficient automated global optimization in rietveld analysis of diffraction data

Performing reliable Rietveld analysis on tens or hundreds of powder diffraction datasets from parametric or time-resolved experiments often poses a bottleneck in extracting meaningful results from the data. While automated analysis of data has recently been demonstrated, high temperature annealing studies, during which phase transformations occur and lattice parameters may change due to repartitioning of elements, are prime examples where automation by a simple phase identification from a database of room temperature structures or automation by sequential refinements is likely to fail. To enable reliable, efficient, automated Rietveld analysis, we present a Python package named Spotlight , building on established Rietveld packages such as MAUD, GSAS , or GSAS-II , which extends the refinement of best fit parameters to a global optimization using an ensemble of optimizers leveraging hierarchical parallel execution on high-performance computing clusters. Spotlight further enables the efficient design of refinement plans through the iterative automated machine-learning of a surrogate for the refinement on which the global optimizations are performed until results from the surrogate converge to the response surface data. We demonstrate Spotlight with the analysis of uranium molybdenum and Ti–6Al–4V datasets, as well as in two open-source tutorials analyzing aluminium oxide and lead sulphate.

Thermal Analysis of High Entropy Rare Earth Oxides

Phase transformations in multicomponent rare earth sesquioxides were studied by splat quenching from the melt, high temperature differential thermal analysis and synchrotron X-ray diffraction on laser-heated samples. Three compositions were prepared by the solution combustion method: (La,Sm,Dy,Er,RE) 2 O 3 , where all oxides are in equimolar ratios and RE is Nd or Gd or Y. After annealing at 800 °C, all powders contained mainly a phase of C-type bixbyite structure. After laser melting, all samples were quenched in a single-phase monoclinic B-type structure. Thermal analysis indicated three reversible phase transitions in the range 1900–2400 °C, assigned as transformations into A, H, and X rare earth sesquioxides structure types. Unit cell volumes and volume changes on C-B, B-A, and H-X transformations were measured by X-ray diffraction and consistent with the trend in pure rare earth sesquioxides. The formation of single-phase solid solutions was predicted by Calphad calculations. The melting point was determined for the (La,Sm,Dy,Er,Nd) 2 O 3 sample as 2456 ± 12 °C, which is higher than for any of constituent oxides. An increase in melting temperature is probably related to nonideal mixing in the solid and/or the melt and prompts future investigation of the liquidus surface in Sm 2 O 3 -Dy 2 O 3 , Sm 2 O 3 -Er 2 O 3 , and Dy 2 O 3 -Er 2 O 3 systems.

Unprecedented non-hysteretic superelasticity of [001]-oriented NiCoFeGa single crystals

Superelasticity associated with the martensitic transformation has found a broad range of engineering applications. However, the intrinsic hysteresis and temperature sensitivity of the first-order phase transformation significantly hinder the usage of smart metallic components in many critical areas. In this paper, we report a large superelasticity up to 15.2% strain in [001]-oriented NiCoFeGa single crystals, exhibiting non-hysteretic mechanical responses, a small temperature dependence and high-energy-storage capability and cyclic stability over a wide temperature and composition range. In situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements show that the superelasticity is correlated with a stress-induced continuous variation of lattice parameter accompanied by structural fluctuation. Neutron diffraction and electron microscopy observations reveal an unprecedented microstructure consisting of atomic-level entanglement of ordered and disordered crystal structures, which can be manipulated to tune the superelasticity. The discovery of the large elasticity related to the entangled structure paves the way for exploiting elastic strain engineering and development of related functional materials. NiCoFeGa single crystals exhibit large non-hysteretic superelasticity over broad temperature and composition ranges. It is attributed to the continuous phase transition with applied stress, which is related to the fluctuation of entangled ordered and disordered crystal structures.

Domain fluctuations in a ferroelectric low-strain BaTiO 3 thin film

In this work, a ferroelectric BaTiO 3 thin film grown on a NdScO 3 substrate was studied using x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) to characterize thermal fluctuations near the a/b to a/c domain structure transformation present in this low-strain material, which is absent in the bulk. XPCS studies provide a direct comparison of the role of domain fluctuations in first- and second-order phase transformations. The a/b to a/c domain transformation is accompanied by a decrease in fluctuation timescales, and an increase in intensity and correlation length. Surprisingly, domain fluctuations are observed up to 25 °C above the transformation, concomitant with the growth of a/c domains and coexistence of both domain types. After a small window of stability, as the Curie temperature is approached, a/c domain fluctuations are observed, albeit slower, potentially due to the structural transformation associated with the ferroelectric to paraelectric transformation. The observed time evolution and reconfiguration of domain patterns highlight the role played by phase coexistence and elastic boundary conditions in altering fluctuation timescales in ferroelectric thin films.

Structural and magnetic transitions of CoFeMnNiAl high-entropy alloys caused by composition and annealing

Tailoring magnetic behavior by composition and annealing is an effective way. The phase transition from the face-centered-cubic (FCC) to B2 structure influenced by the Al content on the CoFeMnNiAl x alloys leads to the enhanced magnetization. However, the excessive Al addition in the B2-structured alloys impairs the magnetization. The phase transformation caused by annealing also indicates that the saturation magnetization of the alloy depends on the volume fraction of the B2 phase, and a higher content of the B2 phase is beneficial to the large saturation magnetization. Ab initio calculations are used to explain the magnetic behavior of the present HEAs and the effects of phase structures on magnetic characteristics. The phase stability of the CoFeMnNiAl x alloy is thoroughly studied by both the existing phase-formation empirical criteria and annealing. Here, the existing empirical criteria used to predict the phase formation are not universal. However, combining the ΔH mix -δ relation and the φ value, whether the single disordered solid-solution phase is formed can be preliminarily predicted.

Reversible hydrogen storage in multilayer graphane: Lattice dynamics, compressibility, and heat capacity studies

Multilayer graphane (hydride of graphite) is a crystalline hydrocarbon of composition CH, which can be synthesized from graphite and molecular hydrogen at pressures above 2GPa [V.E. Antonov et al. Carbon 100 (2016) 465]. Using X-ray diffraction, this compound was tentatively identified as the “graphane II” phase of 3D-graphane predicted by ab initio calculations [X.-D. Wen et al. PNAS 108 (2011) 6833] and consisting of layers of 2D-graphane in the “chair” conformation. When heated in a vacuum, the compound does not form any intermediate hydrocarbons and reversibly decomposes back into graphite and hydrogen at 770–920 K. In the present work, almost single-phase samples of graphite hydride and deuteride were synthesized at 7.4 GPa and 870 K. Their investigation by inelastic neutron scattering supplemented by ab initio calculations gave spectra g(E) of the phonon density of states with a gap of about 15 meV at approx. 100 meV, which is a unique identifier for the chair form of graphane. The equation of state V(P) of the hydride was studied at room temperature and hydrogen pressures up to 53 GPa by synchrotron X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell. Further, the graphane II phase did not react with the surrounding hydrogen and did not undergo any phase transformations upon the compression and after heating to 1500 K at 53GPa. The high thermal and pressure stability of this exotic phase makes it an important part of the C–H system. The obtained g(E) spectra of graphite hydride and deuteride were used to calculate temperature dependences of their heat capacity. Measurements of the heat capacity at temperatures 120–673 K confirmed the good accuracy of these calculations.

A laser ultrasonics-based approach for rapid screening of high entropy alloys

This project demonstrates a laser ultrasonics-based characterization methodology for rapid metallic materials design and discovery via in situ determination of phases, microstructures and elastic properties with respect to temperature. Ultrasonic waves are strongly affected by material microstructure, and therefore serve as a facile means to probe elastic properties, phase content and their size distributions and volume fractions. In this study, a laser ultrasonic technique is used to systematically study the evolution of properties in a set of interrelated simple binary alloys and high entropy alloys (HEA). Phase transformations and microstructural changes inferred from the ultrasonic signals will be correlated with electron microscopy data and predictions using calculations of phase diagrams (CALPHAD). The non-contact and non-destructive ultrasonic testing approach developed in this study could overcome several limitations associated with current material characterization methods for materials discovery. It is expected that laser ultrasonics-based methodology developed in this work will be utilized to evaluate novel graded composition HEAs currently being developed at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) using advanced manufacturing methods based on direct energy deposition and spark plasma sintering processes, and contribute to accelerate the discovery of HEAs.

Role of dislocations on martensitic transformation temperatures and microstructure: A molecular dynamics study

Microstructure and defects strongly affect martensitic transformations in metallic alloys. Significant progress has been made in understanding the atomic-level processes that control the role of grain boundaries and precipitates in these solid-to-solid phase transformations. Yet, the role of dislocations and their structures on martensitic transformation temperature and the resulting microstructure remains unclear. Therefore, we used large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to study the forward and reverse transformation of a martensitic material modeled after Ni63Al37 under cyclic thermal loading. The simulations reveal that dislocations in the austenite phase act as one-dimensional seeds for the martensite phase, which is present at temperatures significantly above the martensite start value. We find a reduction in the dislocation density during cyclic thermal loading, which results in the increase in martensite and austenite transition temperatures, in agreement with experiments. Importantly, we extracted a critical martensitic nuclei size for developing stable domains and found that relatively low dislocation densities are needed to grow independent martensitic variants resulting in a multi-domain structure.

Driving energetically unfavorable dehydrogenation dynamics with plasmonics

Nanoparticle surface structure and geometry generally dictate where chemical transformations occur, with higher chemical activity at sites with lower activation energies. Here, we show how optical excitation of plasmons enables spatially modified phase transformations, activating otherwise energetically unfavorable sites. We have designed a crossed-bar Au-PdH x antenna-reactor system that localizes electromagnetic enhancement away from the innately reactive PdH x nanorod tips. Using optically coupled in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy, we track the dehydrogenation of individual antenna-reactor pairs with varying optical illumination intensity, wavelength, and hydrogen pressure. Our in situ experiments show that plasmons enable new catalytic sites, including dehydrogenation at the nanorod faces. Molecular dynamics simulations confirm that these new nucleation sites are energetically unfavorable in equilibrium and only accessible through tailored plasmonic excitation.

Nanodiffraction imaging of ionically driven phase separation in cobaltite heterostructures

Controlling the anionic stoichiometry and distribution of perovskite cobaltites presents a powerful method for tailoring the magnetic and electronic properties for magneto-ionic applications. Nevertheless, the influence of nanoscale morphology, including phase separation and defects in cobaltite heterostructures, remains largely unexplored. We used x-ray nanodiffraction to directly image the nanoscale topotactic phase transformation in La 1−x Sr x CoO 3 (LSCO) heterostructures capped with a reactive aluminum (Al) layer (i.e., oxygen “getter”) of varying thicknesses (0.5, 3, and 7 nm). Nanodiffraction images reveal the formation of highly elongated BM filaments extending over mesoscopic lengths (>67 μm), indicating a strong tendency toward oxygen vacancy ordering in both P and BM phases in all heterostructures. Local strain and strain gradient analysis shows a strong correlation between the depletion of the P phase and strain gradients. Our measurements suggest that elongation of the BM filaments is the predominant mechanism for topotactic transformation in LSCO/Al heterostructures, preferred over coarsening, branching, and fractal growth. Our study provides a detailed nanoscale analysis of ionically driven phase transitions in LSCO/Al heterostructures, which is crucial for tailoring the functional properties of cobaltites for magneto-ionic devices.
