The effect of pressure on the structural, elastic and electronic properties of the intermetallic compound MgCu with a CsCl-type structure have been investigated using ab-initio technique. The optical properties have been studied under…
Two different precipitate hardening aluminium alloys processed by friction stir welding were investigated. The microstructure and the hardness of the as delivered materials were compared to that of the weld nugget. Transmission electron…
First-principles, density-functional-based electronic structure calculations are employed to study the changes in the electronic properties of ZnC_{y}Ni_{3} and MgC_{y}Ni_{3} using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker coherent-potential approximation…
The results of first-principles electronic structure calculations for the nitrogen-rich nickel nitrides $ {\rm NiN} $ and $ {\rm Ni_2N} $ are presented. The calculations are based on density functional theory and used the generalized…
Using ab initio Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, we investigate the electronic structure, phase stability, and magnetic properties of equiatomic binary alloys between Al and 3d magnetic transition elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and…
Quasicrystals are metal alloys whose noncrystallographic symmetry and lack of structural periodicity challenge methods of experimental structure determination. Here we employ quantum-based total-energy calculations to predict the structure…
Magneto-structural properties of films of diluted ferromagnetic alloys Ni$_x$Cu$_{1-x}$ in the concentration range $0.7 < x < 1.0$ are studied experimentally. Films deposited by magnetron sputtering show partial phase separation, as…
The Fe-Ni alloy is believed to be the main component of Earth's core. Yet, a comprehensive understanding of phase equilibria near the melting point of this alloy under core conditions is still lacking, leaving the effect of nickel…
Taking into considerations the wide compositional stretch of Heusler alloys, the first principles density functional theory based calculations are excellently suitable for estimating the multifaceted properties of alkali metal based LiVSb…
Stacking fault energy dictates phase stability and deformation behavior in Co alloys and WC-Co cemented carbides, yet a quantitative assessment of alloying effects at finite temperatures remains poorly established. By integrating…
In this study, a preparation route of Co-Cu alloys with soft magnetic properties by high-pressure torsion deformation is introduced. Nanocrystalline, supersaturated single-phase microstructures are obtained after deformation of Co-Cu…
Electronic structure calculations are presented for KCo$_2$As$_2$ and alloys with KFe$_2$As$_2$ and KRu$_2$As$_2$. These materials show electronic structures characteristic of coherent alloys, with a similar Fermi surface structure to that…
We present first principle calculations of the structural and electronic properties of the CuS covellite material. Symmetry-lowering structural transition is well reproduced. However, the microscopic origin of the transition is unclear. The…
Segregation to defects, in particular to grain boundaries (GBs), is an unavoidable phenomenon leading to changed material behavior over time. With the increase of available computational power, unbiased quantum-mechanical predictions of…
A rigorous understanding of the thermodynamic properties of point defects, namely vacancies and self-interstitials, is crucial for the discovery and screening of structural materials in clean energy applications. In this work, we extend a…
Knowledge on structures and energetics of nanovoids is fundamental to understand defect evolution in metals. Yet there remain no reliable methods able to determine essential structural details or to provide accurate assessment of energetics…
Segregation, precipitation, and phase separation in Fe-Cr systems is investigated. Monte Carlo simulations using semiempirical interatomic potential, first-principles total energy calculations, and experimental spectroscopy are used. In…
Liquid metals at extreme pressures and temperatures are widely interested in the high-pressure community. Based on density functional theory molecular dynamics, we conduct first-principles investigations on the equation of state (EOS) and…
The ordered alloys of alkali metals (Rb and Cs) and gold (Au) have the B2 (CsCl-type) structure and show a semiconducting property, irrespective to the metallic constituents. Francium (Fr) is classed as an alkali metal and is expected to…
The coexistence of ferromagnetism and superconductivity in RuSr$_2$GdCu$_2$O$_8$ was reported both from experiments (by Tallon et. al.) and first-principles calculations (by Pickett et. al.). Here we report that our first-principles…
