The self-diffusion process in B2 type intermetallic compound AlCo has been investigated by the first-principles calculations within the frame work of density functional theory (DFT). The obtained mono-vacancy formation, migration and activation energies for four self-diffusion mechanisms, the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) jump, [110] six-jump cycle (6JC), straight [100] 6JC and bent [100] 6JC diffusion show that the NNN jump mechanism of Co vacancy requires the lowest activation energy (Q = 6.835 eV ) in these diffusion mechanisms, which indicates that it is the main way of self-diffusion in AlCo . The electronic structure including the electron density difference on (-1 1 0) plane as well as atomic Mulliken populations were calculated, and the change of bonding behavior during the [110] 6JC process was discussed in detail. Finally, the self-diffusion coefficients of NNN jump and 6JC mechanisms for AlCo were also studied via the first-principles calculations and semi-empirical predictions, which indicates that the self-diffusion coefficients for NNN jump of Co vacancy show the highest value than the others.

Our activities in predicting diffusion coefficients in fcc, bcc, and hcp solid solutions using first-principles calculations and in liquid usingabinitiomolecular dynamics are reviewed. These include self-diffusion coefficients [1-4], tracer diffusion coefficients in dilute solutions [5-7], calculation of migration entropy [8], tracer diffusion coefficients in metallic and oxide liquid [9, 10], and effects of vacancy on diffusion of oxygen [11, 12]. The effects of exchange correlation functionals are examined in some cases along with charge transfer between solute and solvent elements. The dominant contribution of diffusion on the effects of Re addition on the creep properties of Ni-base superalloys is discussed [13].

ABSTRACTFirst-principles calculations and corresponding experimental results underline the importance of basic chemical concepts in understanding bonding and diffusion of atoms at and on metal surfaces. Examples discussed include the outward relaxation of clean Be(0001), the separation energies of metal-adatom dimers, concerted substitutional self-diffusion on fcc(001) and (110) surfaces, and adsorption and diffusion barrier sites for adatoms near steps.

The manuscript addresses the issue of the structural distortions occurring at multiple bonds between high main group elements, focusing on group 14. These distortions are known as trans-bending in silenes, disilenes and higher group analogues, and buckling in 2D materials likes silicene and germanene. A simple but correlated \sigma + \pi model is developed and validated with first-principles calculations, and used to explain the different behaviour of second- and higher- row elements.
