Generalized stacking fault energies of aluminum alloys were calculated using density functional theory. Stacking fault energy of aluminum alloys was correlated with the d-electrons number of transition metal alloying elements. The tendency to twinning is also modified by the presence of the alloying element in the deformation plane. Our results suggest that Al alloys, with such elements as Zr, Nb, Y, Mo, Ta, and Hf, are expected to exhibit a strong work hardening rate due to emission of the partial dislocations.

Generalised stacking fault energies of copper alloys have been calculated using density functional theory. Stacking fault energy of copper alloys is correlated with the d?electrons number of transition metal alloying element. The tendency to twiningis also modified by the presence of alloying element in the deformation plane. The results suggest that Cu ?transition metal alloys with such elements as Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re are expected to exhibit great work hardening rate due to the tendency to emission of the partial dislocations.

Fundamental understanding of the dissociation mode of 〈c + a〉 dislocations on the 101¯1 plane is required before the goal of improving the ductility of Mg alloys attained. In this study, our density-functional theory calculations reveal that the atoms in the 101¯1 plane slip along a zigzag trace through a low-energy pathway. We thus propose a novel zigzag dissociation mode based on this slip trace. In particular, the shuffling motion of atoms is observed at the position of stable stacking fault, which is closely related to the c/a ratio of the hexagonal closed-packed lattices.

The generalized stacking fault (GSF) energy surfaces of (110), (101), (121), (001), and(100) planes in -Sn are analyzed using first-principles density functional theory calculations. Fromthe minimum energy paths (MEPs) on the GSF energy surfaces analyzed, energetically preferableslip paths of 13 nonequivalent slip systems in -Sn are investigated. It is found that the MEP of(110)[111]/2, (101)[010], (101)[111]/2, (121)[101], and (121)[111]/2 deviates from the straight linepath and takes a curve line path. The results indicate that perfect dislocations on these five slip systemsdissociate into partial dislocations as in cubic and hexagonal crystals.

The enthalpy of four polymorphs of CaN has been scrutinized at 0 and 100 GPa using density functional theory calculations. It is shown that structures of diamagnetic calcium diazenide (Ca2N2) are preferred over the cubic ferromagnetic polymorph (CaN) postulated before, both at 0 and 100 GPa.
