  1. 1. Density Functional Theory in Computational Materials Science

    Author : Jorge Mario Osorio Guillén; Rajeev Ahuja; Börje Johansson; Bruce N. Harmon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Density Functional Theory; High Pressure; Phase Transitions; Elastic Properties; Lithium Batteries; Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The present thesis is concerned to the application of first-principles self-consistent total-energy calculations within the density functional theory on different topics in materials science. Crystallographic phase-transitions under high-pressure has been study for TiO2, FeI2, Fe3O4, Ti, the heavy alkali metals Cs and Rb, and C3N4. READ MORE

  2. 2. Ab Initio Simulations of Transition Metal Alloys: Towards the Multiscale Modeling
