Nanoclusters formed in Al-Mg-Si alloys affect the aging behavior of the alloys depending on the formation temperature. In the present study, first-principles calculations were carried out to evaluate the two- and three-body interactions between Mg, Si atoms and vacancies in the Al matrix and estimate the effect of local bonding on the formation of nanoclusters. Monte Carlo simulations were subsequently performed to investigate the stable structure of the nanocluster formed in Al-0.95 mass pct Mg-0.81 mass pct Si alloy. We found that the Mg-Si and Si-Vac pairs are stable in the Al matrix. The result shows that the solute atoms easily aggregate with different types of solute atoms and that the Si atom has a strong attractive interaction with a vacancy. Furthermore, Mg-Si-vacancy three-body clusters is more stable than Mg-Si and Si-vacancy pairs in the Al matrix. The nanoclusters in the Al matrix were thermally stabilized by the stable configurations between solute atoms and vacancy. Thus, the electronic structure calculations suggested that the local bondings within a nanocluster play a significant role in not only the thermal stability but also the formation and growth behavior of nanoclusters during aging at low temperatures.

Nanoclusters formed of the Al-Mg-Si alloy affect the aging behavior of the alloy depending on the formation temperature. Since Al, Mg and Si have adjacent atomic numbers, it is difficult to analyze them using the X-ray diffraction method. Therefore, in recent years, Al-Mg-Ge alloys in which Si is replaced with the homologous element Ge have been used. Attempts have been made to analyze the structure of the precipitate. In this study, we quantitatively evaluate the interaction between solute atoms and pores in Al-Mg-Si alloys and Al-Mg-Ge alloys using first-principles calculations based on the density general function theory, and solute atoms. From the viewpoint of bond stability between pores and pores, the precipitation behavior of both alloys was compared and examined.

Nanoclusters formed in Al-Mg-Si alloys affect the aging behavior of the alloys depending on the formation temperature. In the present study, first-principles calculations were carried out to evaluate the two- and three-body interactions between Mg, Si atoms and vacancies in the Al matrix and to estimate the effect of local bond structures on the formation of nanoclusters. Monte Carlo simulations were subsequently performed to investigate the stable structure of nanocluster formed in Al-Mg-Si alloy. We found that Mg-Si bond and Si-Vac bond were stable in Al matrix. The result showed that the solute atoms are easy to aggregate with another type of atoms and that Si atom had a strong attractive interaction with a vacancy. Mg-Si-vacancy three-body bond were more stable than Mg-Si two-body bond and Si-vacancy two-body bond in Al matrix. Therefore, vacancies were strongly trapped within the cluster region due to the stable local bonds composed of Mg and Si atoms which indicates that the nanoclusters in Al matrix were thermally stabilized by the stable bonds between solute atoms and vacancy. In addition, these results suggested that inner bonds of nanocluster played a significant role in not only the thermal stability but also the formation and growth behavior of nanoclusters during aging at low temperatures.

Event structure was compared with the results from PYTHIA event generator. The production rate of reconstructed jets is satisfactorily reproduced with the next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculation. We measured = -0.0014
