First principles calculations are used to study the preferential occupation of ternary alloying additions into the binary Ti-Al phases, namely $\gamma$-TiAl, $\alpha_2$-Ti$_3$Al, $\beta_{\mathrm{o}}$-TiAl, and B19-TiAl. While the early…
This study employed hybrid Monte Carlo Molecular Dynamics simulations to investigate the short-range ordering behavior of Ni-based superalloys doped with boron or carbon. The simulations revealed that both boron and carbon dissociated from…
By means of first-principles calculations, we studied stable lattice structures and estimated superconducting transition temperature of CaSi$_2$ at high pressure. Our simulation showed stability of the AlB$_2$ structure in a pressure range…
Results of crystallographic refinement, the relationship between electron counts and structural stability, and magnetic characterization of YT$_x$Ge$_2$ (T= Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) prepared using the arc melting method are presented. These…
The interplay between unconventional superconductivity and the ordering of charge/spin density wave is one of the most vital issues in both condensed matter physics and material science. The Ti-based compound BaTi_2As_2O, which can be seen…
We use ab initio simulations to study the static and dynamic properties of a sodium borosilicate liquid with composition 3Na_2O-B_2O_3-6SiO_2, i.e. a system that is the basis of many glass-forming materials. In particular we focus on the…
The structural and electronic properties of the doubly calcium-doped boron cluster B$_{18}$Ca$_2$ have been systematically investigated using density functional theory calculations. Basin-hopping searches reveal that B$_{18}$Ca$_2$ adopts a…
A multitude of observed boron-based materials have outstanding superconducting, mechanical, and refractory properties. Yet, the structure, the composition, and the very existence of some reported metal boride (M-B) compounds have been a…
We report the first observation of substitutional silicon atoms in single-layer hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) using aberration corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The medium angle annular dark field (MAADF) images…
We present a structural analysis of the substituted system (Ba$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$)CuSi$_{2}$O$_{6}$, which reveals a stable tetragonal crystal structure down to 1.5 K. We explore the structural details with lowtemperature neutron and…
The finding of superconductivity in Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 put the attention on the investigation of compounds that crystallize with ThCr2Si2 structure type such as AT2X2 (A = alkali/ alkaline earth/ rare earth element; T = transition metal and X…

Structural phase transitions in $f$-electron materials have attracted sustained attention both for practical and basic science reasons, including that they offer an environment to directly investigate relationships between structure and the…
Ab initio calculations within the density-functional theory formalism are performed to investigate the chemical functionalization of a graphene-like monolayer of silicon - silicene - with B, N, Al or P atoms. The structural, electronic,…
In this study, we investigate effects of boron substitution on the structural and electronic properties of small tungsten clusters using density functional theory (DFT). We construct a series of tungsten boride clusters by replacing…
DyRh4B4 has been known to crystallize in the primitive tetragonal (pt)-structure and to exhibit a ferromagnetic transition at 12 K, the highest magnetic transition temperature in the entire series of the RRh4B4 materials [1]. We show here…
