The effect of the Ti and Zr transition metals on the D03-Fe3Al intermetallic compounds has been investigated by means of ab initio Pseudo Potentials numerical simulations based on Density Functional Theory. Two main issues will be addressed the understanding of the role of these two transition metals in terms of stability of the bulk at the light of their site preference in the D03-Fe3Al structure the behaviour of Ti and Zr transition metals in the sigma 5 (310) [001] grain boundary and their effect on the structural stability of this interface. An important issue when studying these aspects is to take into accounts the effect of temperature. This requires a molecular dynamics treatment of the atoms in the supercell. The technique known as ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) solves these problems by combining ‘on the fly’ electronic structure calculations with finite temperature dynamics. Thus, our study was conducted both using the conventional static ab initio calculations (0K) as well as by taking into account the effect of temperature (Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics).

Abstract The behaviour of electrons and holes in a crystal lattice is a fundamental quantum phenomenon, accounting for a rich variety of material properties. Boosted by the remarkable electronic and physical properties of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides have recently received renewed attention. In this context, the anomalous bulk properties of semimetallic WTe2 have attracted considerable interest. Here we report angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of WTe2 single crystals, through which we disentangle the role of W and Te atoms in the formation of the band structure and identify the interplay of charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Supported by first-principles calculations and high-resolution surface topography, we reveal the existence of a layer-dependent behaviour. The balance of electron and hole states is found only when considering at least three Te–W–Te layers, showing that the behaviour of WTe2 is not strictly two dimensional.
