Traditional metallic alloys are mixtures of elements where the atoms of minority species tend to distribute randomly if they are below their solubility limit, or lead to the formation of secondary phases if they are above it. Recently, the…
We present an ab initio study of electronic correlation effects in a molecular cluster derived from the hexanuclear ferric wheel [LiFe6(OCH3)12-(dbm)6]PF6. The electronic and magnetic properties of this cluster have been studied with…

Radiation-enhanced precipitation of Cr-rich {\alpha}' in irradiated Fe-Cr alloys, which results in hardening and embrittlement, depends on the irradiating particle and the displacement per atom (dpa) rate. Here, we utilize a Cahn-Hilliard…
