From that I join another project about "Advanced Materials Under Extreme Conditions"
I continued with my second project focusing on "Structural and Thermodynamic Properties of W and W15Cr1 at High Temperatures and Pressures." This research explored the thermal and pressure resistance of advanced alloys like W15Cr1 compared to traditional W.
Using the statistical moment method, I calculated key quantities such as the thermal expansion coefficient. The findings revealed that W15Cr1 exhibited a significantly lower thermal expansion coefficient than W, indicating that adding Cr to the alloy improves thermal stability and reduces expansion issues at high temperatures. This discovery highlights its potential applications in advanced technologies.
These projects not only provided me with invaluable learning experiences from experts but also deepened my understanding of the connection between theory and experiment. Each number, each graph, tells a story of how matter behaves on a microscopic level. I realized that physics is not just about formulas but about decoding the world around us.
This journey has brought me closer to my dream of becoming a physicist and strengthened my belief that scientific knowledge can transform lives. It serves as a foundation for me to pursue even bigger questions and new challenges in the future.
