Structural evolution and thermophysical properties of Tb3ScxAl5-xO12 melts via AIMD and aerodynamic levitation

High-power magneto-optical devices based on terbium garnet crystals require materials with high thermal stability and excellent optical performance. However, their growth is often hindered by instability in high-temperature melts. Here, we combine ab initio molecular dynamics (AI...
