We present theoretical results on the high-temperature phase stability and phonon spectra of paramagnetic bcc iron which explicitly take into account many-body effects. Several peculiarities, including a pronounced softening of the [110]…
We compute the equilibrium crystal structure and phase stability of iron at the alpha(bcc)-gamma(fcc) phase transition as a function of temperature, by employing a combination of ab initio methods for calculating electronic band structures…
We study the fundamental question of the lattice dynamics of a metallic ferromagnet in the regime where the static long range magnetic order is replaced by the fluctuating local moments embedded in a metallic host. We use the \textit{ab…
We compute the lattice-dynamical and thermal equation of state properties of ferromagnetic bcc iron using the first principles linear response linear-muffin-tin-orbital method in the generalized-gradient approximation. The calculated phonon…
The occurrence of bcc-fcc ($\alpha$-$\gamma$) and fcc-bcc ($\gamma$-$\delta$) phase transitions in magnetic iron stems from the interplay between magnetic excitations and lattice vibrations. However, this fact has never been proven by a…
The recently developed self consistent {\it ab initio} lattice dynamical method (SCAILD) has been applied to the high temperature bcc phase of La and Th which are dynamically unstable at low temperatures. The bcc phase of these metals is…
The phonon dispersions of the bcc and fcc phases of pure iron ({\alpha}-Fe, {\gamma}-Fe and {\delta}-Fe) at ambient pressure were investigated close to the respective phase transition temperatures. In the open bcc structure the transverse…
The effect of spin fluctuations on the $\alpha$ (bcc) - $\gamma$ (fcc) - $\delta$ (bcc) structural phase transitions in iron is investigated with a tight-binding (TB) model. The orthogonal $d$-valent TB model is combined with thermodynamic…
We propose a new semiclassical approach based on the dynamical mean field theory to treat the interactions of electrons with local lattice fluctuations. In this approach the classical (static) phonon modes are treated exactly whereas the…
The electron-excitation induced bond strength variations in metals have been predicted from density-functional theory calculations and observed experimentally, while the microscopic mechanism has yet to be elucidated. Here, we present a…
We employ state-of-the-art ab initio simulations within the dynamical mean-field theory to study three likely phases of iron (hexogonal close-packed, hcp, face centered cubic, fcc, and body centered cubic, bcc) at the Earth's core…
We report the lattice dynamics of transition metal thin films by using the ultrafast electron diffraction. We observe a suppression of the diffraction intensity in a few picosecond after the photoexcitation, which is directly interpreted as…
We apply standard, first-principles calculations to a complete treatment of lattice dynamics in the harmonic approximation. The algorithm makes use of the straightforward ``frozen-phonon'' approach to the calculation of vibrational spectra…
Using an atomistic model that simultaneously treats the dynamics of translational and spin degrees of freedom, we perform combined molecular and spin dynamics simulations to investigate the mutual influence of the phonons and magnons on…
The lattice dynamics of the $\rm YMnO_3$ magneto-electric compound has been investigated using density functional calculations, both in the ferroelectric and the paraelectric phases. The coherence between the computed and experimental data…
The calculations are performed for a broad range of the properties of Ca and Sr in the fcc and bcc phases. A detailed information on the magnitude and character of temperature dependence of anharmonic effects in the lattice dynamics over…
We investigate the dynamical structure factor associated with lattice fluctuations in a model that approximates the manganites. It involves electrons strongly coupled to core spins, and to lattice distortions, in a weakly disordered…
It is well known that conventional harmonic lattice dynamics cannot be applied to energetically unstable crystals at 0 K, such as high temperature body centered cubic (BCC) phase of crystalline Zr. Predicting phonon spectra at finite…
Phonon densities of states (DOS) of bcc $\alpha$-$^{57}$Fe were measured from room temperature through the 1044K Curie transition and the 1185K fcc $\gamma$-Fe phase transition using nuclear resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. At higher…
