Project A06 focuses on the development of fast and accurate potentials for simulating defect phases and providing them to other projects, particularly project A02. Collaborations are also planned with A05, A07n, B04 and C05. The objectives of A06 include developing ACE parameterizations for Ni-Au, Ni-Cu and Ni-Nb, with a focus on Ni-based dilute alloys, as well as exploring intermetallics and Ni-H, Ni in contact with H2O and Ni-O. This involves utilizing various methods from modeling and simulation, such as creating a comprehensive DFT reference database for parameterization and validation of ACE, as well as extensive validation and application of ACE for simulating defect phases.
