Effects of chemical substitution of the divalent transition metals has been systematically investigated in Mg$_{1-x}M_x$B$_2$ (x=0.03; M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Zn). Substitution of magnetic ions, i.e., Mn$^{2+}$, Fe$^{2+}$, Co$^{2+}$ and…

The elastic properties of paramagnetic cubic B1 (c-) Cr1-xAlxN ternary alloys are studied using stress-strain and energy-strain methods within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT). A strong compositional dependence of the…

By means of molecular-dynamics simulations, temperature driven diffusionless structural phase transitions in equi- and nearly equiatomic ordered nickel-titanium alloys were investigated. For this purpose, a model potential from the…

In this paper I discuss the electronic structure and properties of a specific, rather unconventional class of transition metal (TM) compounds, e.g. TM oxides, which formally have unusually high values of the oxidation state, or valence, of…

Solid-solid phase transitions in metals are traditionally driven by changes in density or external pressure. Here we show that, under strong electronic excitation, structural stability is governed by the interplay between electronic effects…

Systematic investigation of atomic structure of N-ion implanted TiO2 (thin films and bulk ceramics) was performed by XPS measurements (core levels and valence bands) and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In bulk…
