The preference for the occupation of solute atoms like B, C, N, and O at various sites in iron is generally explained by the size of the solute and the volume available for the solute atoms to occupy. Such an explanation based on the size…
A model system is proposed to investigate the chemical equilibrium and mechanical stability of biological spherical-like nanoshells in contact with an aqueous solution with added dissociated electrolyte of a given concentration. The ionic…
Transition metals (TMs) implanted in oxides with rock-salt crystal structures (for example MgO and BaO) are assumed to substitute cations (Mg in case of MgO) from the lattice sites. We show that not all implanted TMs substitute cations but…
By means of density-functional calculations, we systematically investigated 24 transition metals for possible metastable phases in body-centered tetragonal structure (bct), including face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc)…
Refractory complex concentrated alloys, composed of multiple principal refractory elements, are promising candidates for high-temperature structural applications due to their exceptional thermal stability and high melting points. However,…
The light elemental solutes B, C, N, and O can penetrate the surface of Mg alloys and diffuse during heat treatment or high temperature application, forming undesirable compounds. We investigate the diffusion of these solutes by determining…
Inspired by the synthesis of XB3C3 (X= Sr, La) compounds in the bipartite sodalite clathrate structure, density functional theory (DFT) calculations are performed on members of this family containing up to two different metal atoms. A…
We have examined the local structure of PMN-PT and PZN-PT solid solutions using density functional theory. We find that the directions and magnitudes of cation displacement can be explained by an interplay of cation-oxygen bonding,…
Developing ductile refractory BCC alloys has remained a challenge. The intrinsic ductility (D) of an alloy is the ratio of surface energy ($\gamma_s$) and unstable stacking fault energy ($\gamma_{usfe}$). Lowering the valence electron…
This study investigates the photocatalytic nitrogen fixation on a cation-doped surface (Bi$_{x}$M$_{y}$)$_2$MoO$_6$ where (M = Fe, La, Yb) in both the orthorhombic and monoclinic configurations using a density functional theory (DFT)…
Magnetic 2D materials have achieved significantly consideration owing to their encouraging applications. A variation of these 2D materials by occurrence of defects, by the transition-metal doping or adsorption or by the surface…
Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) nanoparticles and thin films are particularly suitable catalysts for catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) as they are effective for deoxygenation and can catalyze certain reactions that typically occur on noble metals.…
Based on density functional theory the noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo_3Al_2C in its well established {\beta}-Mn type ($P4_{1}32$) crystal structure is investigated. In particular, its thermodynamical and dynamical stabilities are…
Water absorption in the metal-organic framework (MOF) material Cu-BTC, up to a concentration of 3.5 H$_2$O per Cu ion, is studied via density functional theory at the meta-GGA+U level. The stable arrangements of water molecules show chains…
A simple model is proposed aimed to investigate how the amount of dissociated ions influences the mechanical stability of viral capsids. After an osmotic and mechanical equilibrium is established with the outer solution, a non-adiabatic…
The elastic properties of the $B_1$-structured transition-metal nitrides and their carbide counterparts are studied using the {\it ab initio\} density functional perturbation theory. The linear response results of elastic constants are in…
The ability to predict the composition- and temperature-dependent stability of refractory complex concentrated alloys (RCCAs) is vital to the design of high-temperature structural alloys. Here, we present a model based on first-principles…
Theoretical and experimental investigation of the electronic and magnetic structure of transition metal atoms on an insulating interface with a metallic substrate at low temperatures is quite challenging. In this paper, we show a density…
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…
The remarkable mechanical properties of high entropy alloys can be further improved by interstitial alloying. In this work we employ density functional theory calculations to study the solution energies of dilute carbon interstitial atoms…
