  1. 1. Insights into Materials Properties from Ab Initio Theory : Diffusion, Adsorption, Catalysis & Structure

    Author : Andreas Blomqvist; Rajeev Ahuja; Christopher Wolverton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Molecular dynamics; Diffusion; Catalysis; Adsorption; Random structure search; Hydrogen-storage materials; Phase-change materials; Defects and diffusion; Defekter och diffusion; Surfaces and interfaces; Ytor och mellanytor; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and DFT based ab initio molecular dynamics simulations have been employed in order to gain insights into materials properties like diffusion, adsorption, catalysis, and structure. In transition metals, absorbed hydrogen atoms self-trap due to localization of metal d-electrons. READ MORE

  2. 2. Simulation of relaxation processes in complex condensed matter systems : Algorithmic and physical aspets

    Author : Tomas Oppelstrup; Mikhail Dzugutov; Göran Wahnström; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Defects and diffusion; Defekter och diffusion;

    Abstract : This thesis summarizes interrelated simulation studies of three different physical phenomena. The three topics are: simulation of work hardening of materials using dislocation dynamics, investigation of anomalous diffusion in supercooled liquids using molecular dynamics,and kinetic Monte-Carlo simulation of annealing of radiation damaged materials.

  3. 3. Atomistic modelling of functional solid oxides for industrial applications : Density Functional Theory, hybrid functional and GW-based studies

    Author : Cecilia Århammar; Rajeev Ahuja; Steven Louie; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; density functional theory; oxides; GW; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik; Magnetism; Magnetism; Defects and diffusion; Defekter och diffusion;

    Abstract : In this Thesis a set of functional solid oxides for industrial applications have been addressed by first principles and thermodynamical modelling. More specificially, measurable quantities such as Gibbs free energy, geometry and electronic structure have been calculated and compared when possible with experimental data. READ MORE

  4. 4. Defects in Austenitic Steels and Hard Metals - A DFT-based Study

    Author : Ruiwen Xie; Levente Vitos; Ilja Turek; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; defects; austenitic steels; cemented carbides; ab-initio; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : Materials are never 100% pure due to the limitation of purification method or manufacturing process. Nor are they perfect, especially under deformation. The present work aims to explore different roles played by the defects in austenitic steels and hard metals. READ MORE
