The volume versus temperature relations for Ni 3 Si and Ni 3 Ge are obtained by using the first principles calculations combined with the quasiharmonic approach. Based on the equilibrium volumes at temperature T, the temperature dependence of the elastic constants, generalized stacking fault energies and generalized planar fault energies of Ni 3 Si and Ni 3 Ge are investigated by first principles calculations. The elastic constants, antiphase boundary energies, complex stacking fault energies, superlattice intrinsic stacking fault energies and twinning energy decrease with increasing temperature. The twinnability of Ni 3 Si and Ni 3 Ge are examined using the twinnability criteria. It is found that their twinnability decrease with increasing temperature. Furthermore, Ni 3 Si has better twinnability than Ni 3 Ge at different temperatures.

A systematic study of the stacking fault energy (?SF) for the dilute Al-based alloys (Al23X, Al47X and Al71X, where X = Al, Ag, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li, Mn, Mg, Ni, Na, Pb, Sc, Sn, Sr, Si, Ti, V, Zn, and Zr) has been performed by means of first-principles calculations. Alias shear deformation is adopted in the present investigations. The presently calculated ?SF for Al is in favorable accordance with experimental and other theoretical data. For the targeted elements, the calculations indicate that Na, Si, K, Ca, Sc, Ga, Ge, Sr, Zr, In, Sn, La, Hf, and Pb, in any concentration we considered, decrease the ?SF of Al, while Ag, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Li, Mn, Mg, Ni, Ti, V, and Zn increase the ?SF of Al, when the concentration of alloying elements is 1.39 at. % in the system. With increasing concentration of alloying elements, Li, Mg, V, Ti, and Cd change from increasing the ?SF of Al to decreasing it, based on present investigations. Among the alloying elements, which decrease the ?SF of Al, La decreases the ?SF most significantly. It is also found that the ?SF of Al-X generally decreases with the increase of equilibrium volume. The results obtained in the present work provide an insight into the design of Al based alloys.
