The stability, elastic and electronic properties of titanium aluminide compounds have been systematically studied by the first-principles calculation. The calculated lattice parameters are consistent with the results found in the literature. The three Ti-Al binary compounds are thermodynamically stable intermetallics depending on their negative formation enthalpy. It has been found that the Ti-Al binary compounds are composed of both metallic and covalent bonds. Elastic properties revealed that these alloys are more resistant to deformation along the a- and c-axis. Besides, the (001)[100] deformation would be easier than (010)[100] deformation for these alloys. The results found in this chapter give a reliable reference for the design of novel Ti-Al binary alloys.

First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have been performed to explore the effects of Si, Cr, W, and Nb elements on the stability, mechanical properties, and electronic structures of MoAlB ternary boride. The five crystals, with the formulas of Mo4Al4B4, Mo4Al3SiB4, Mo3CrAl4B4, Mo3WAl4B4, and Mo3NbAl4B4, have been respectively established. All the calculated crystals are thermodynamically stable, according to the negative cohesive energy and formation enthalpy. By the calculation of elastic constants, the mechanical moduli and ductility evolutions of MoAlB with elemental doping can be further estimated, with the aid of B/G and Poisson’s ratios. Si and W doping cannot only enhance the Young’s modulus of MoAlB, but also improve the ductility to some degree. Simultaneously, the elastic moduli of MoAlB are supposed to become more isotropic after Si and W addition. However, Cr and Nb doping plays a negative role in ameliorating the mechanical properties. Through the analysis of electronic structures and chemical bonding, the evolutions of chemical bondings can be disclosed with the addition of dopant. The enhancement of B-B, Al/Si-B, and Al/Si-Mo bondings takes place after Si substitution, and W addition apparently intensifies the bonding with B and Al. In this case, the strengthening of chemical bonding after Si and W doping exactly accounts for the improvement of mechanical properties of MoAlB. Additionally, Si doping can also improve the Debye temperature and melting point of the MoAlB crystal. Overall, Si element is predicted to be the optimized dopant to ameliorate the mechanical properties of MoAlB.

Using first-principles calculation we investigated the structural, electronic and elastic properties of paramagnetic CaFeAs2. Our results indicated that the density of states (DOS) was dominated predominantly by Fe-3[Formula: see text] states at Fermi levels, and stronger hybridization exists between As1 and As1 atoms. Three hole pockets are formed at [Formula: see text] and Z points, and two electronic pockets are formed at A and E points. The Dirac cone-like bands appear near B and D points. For the first time we calculated the elastic properties and found that CaFeAs2 is a mechanically stable and moderately hard material, it has elastic anisotropy and brittleness, which agrees well with the bonding picture and the calculation of Debye temperature ([Formula: see text]).
