Publications

Here you can find a list of my academic publications and preprints. You can also find a list of my publications on my Google Scholar profile or via my ORCID. When I am first-author—and where it is appropriate to the nature of the work—I aim to provide open-access datasets associated with my publications, which I typically make available on Zenodo.

Book

Below are the details of my book, published in the Springer Series in Materials Science. More details can be found via this link or on the book page of this site.

[1] Modelling Atomic Arrangements in Multicomponent Alloys: A Perturbative, First-Principles-Based Approach

C. D. Woodgate
Springer Series in Materials Science, Vol. 346. (Springer Nature Switzerland, Cham, 2024)

Preprints

Below is a list of my current preprints available on the arXiv. Note that this will not always be a comprehensive list of the articles I currently have under review at any one time; particularly when I am working as part of a larger collaboration, it may not be possible to share a preprint of an article to be shared ahead of its publication in a journal.

Journal Articles

Below is a list of my published articles in peer-reviewed journals. Where available, I also provide a link to a version of the article on the arXiv.
