The substitutional doping of Mn and Ti in Mg2Ni phase has been investigated by first principles density functional theory calculations. The calculation of enthalpy of formation shows that among the four different lattice sites of Mg(6f), Mg(6i), Ni(3b) and Ni(3d) in Mg2Ni unit cell, the most preferable site of substitution of Mn in Mg2Ni lattice has been confirmed to be Mg(6i) lattice site. The most preferable site of Ti substitution in Mg2Ni lattice is Mg(6i) position and the stability of Ti-doped Mg2Ni decreases with the increase of substitution quantity of Ti for Mg.

The ZnWO4 (010) surface termination stability is studied using a density functional theory-based thermodynamic approach. The stability phase diagram shows that O-Zn, DL-W, and DL-Zn terminations of ZnWO4 (010) can be stabilized.

Using first-principles density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the advantage of using h-WO3 (and its surfaces) over the larger band gap γ-WO3 phase for the anode in water splitting. We demonstrate that h-WO3 is a good alternative anode material for optimal water splitting efficiencies.

ABSTRACTBulk Density Functional Theory calculations were performed on Hf and Zr substitutions for Al in κ-alumina. The lowest energy configuration found was an octahedrally coordinated Zr site. Zr dissolution was favorable with an enthalpy of -2eV/unit cell for forming Al1.875Zr0.125O3 from pure Zr and κ-alumina. Hf and Zr substitution for Al atoms introduced empty d-states below the conduction band edge reducing the Eg of pure κ-alumina (7.5eV) to 6.4-5.9eV. The edge of the valence band however remained fixed by the O p-state character. The substitution of Hf and Zr into the alumina structure may lead to a higher dielectric constant, but will also reduce Eg and result in a trade off in tunneling currents in devices.
