Ti Substitution

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.

Shape memory alloys (SMA) have been at the forefront of research in recent years. They have been used for a wide variety of applications in various fields. This work presents a brief study at the atomic scale of Cu-Al based Shape Memory Alloys. Using first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) method, the stability of different austenitic and martensitic phases of Cu3Al, the effect of intrinsic vacancies, the doping effect by an element X (X = Be, Zn, Ti, Ni, Ag and Au) have been studied.

The Stability

The stability and electronic properties of Mg2Pb (100), (110) and (111) surfaces were investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) method. The calculated results showed that the orders of relaxation and surface energy are |∆d15(111)| < |∆d15(110)| < |∆d15(100)| andEsurf(100) >Esurf(110) >Esurf(111), respectively, indicating that Mg2Pb (111) surface is the most stable among these three low index surfaces. The Density of states (DOS) of Mg2Pb surfaces are mainly dominated by Pb-6, Mg-3s, and 2porbitals in the band ranging from-5 eV to Fermi level. It can be further obtained from results of the DOS and the charge density difference that Mg2Pb (111) surface is more stable than Mg2Pb (100) and (110) surfaces. The Mg2Pb (111) surface is the thermodynamically most favorable over all of the range of.

The Ideal

The benefit of computational methods applying density functional theory for the description and understanding of modulated crystal structures is investigated. A method is presented which allows one to establish, improve and test superspace models including displacive and occupational modulation functions from first-principles calculations on commensurate structures. The total energies of different configurations allow one to distinguish stable and less stable structure models. The study is based on a series of geometrically optimized superstructures of mullite (Al4+2x Si2−2x O10−x ) derived from the superspace group Pbam(α0½)0ss. Despite the disordered and structurally complex nature of mullite, the calculations on ordered superstructures are very useful for determining the ideal Al/Si ordering in mullite, extracting atomic modulation functions as well as understanding the SiO2–Al2O3 phase diagram. The results are compared with experimentally established models which confirm the validity and utility of the presented method.

The adsorption energy, work function, dipole moment, ionicity, band structure and density of state (DOS) of Cs adsorbed GaAs [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) and ([Formula: see text]) models are calculated. The stability and electronic structure of Cs adsorbed GaAs [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) and ([Formula: see text]) models are compared. Result shows that [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) phase is stable than the ([Formula: see text]) phase and after that Cs adsorption [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) phase is more beneficial for photoemission.
