  1. 11. Influence of Global Composition and Local Environment on the Spectroscopic and Magnetic Properties of Metallic Alloys

    Author : Weine Olovsson; Igor A. Abrikosov; G. Malcolm Stocks; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; core level shift; random alloy; first principles simulations; density functional theory; auger kinetic energy; Invar alloys; exchange parameter; classical Heisenberg Hamiltonian; complete screening; transition state; disorder broadening; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Theoretical investigations of spectroscopic and magnetic properties of metallic systems in the bulk, as well as in nanostructured materials, have been performed within the density functional theory. The major part of the present work studies the differences between binding energies of electrons tightly bound to the atoms, the so-called core electrons (in contrast with the valence electrons), that is, core-level binding energy shift (CLS).

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

    Author : Leonid Pourovskii; Igor Abrikosov; Bruce Harmon; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; first principles simulations; transition metal alloys; surface segregations; fully-relativistic method; Monte Carlo method; Fysik; Physics; Fysik; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The present thesis concerns applications of first principles electronic structure calculations in conjunction with methods of statistical mechanics for simulations of transition metal alloys both in the bulk and at surfaces.A fully relativistic generalization of the exact muffin-tin orbitals (EMTO) method has been developed.

  3. 13. Theoretical Considerations of Local Environment Effects in Alloys

    Author : Tobias Marten; Igor Abrikosov; Josef Kudrnovský; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Condensed matter physics; Kondenserade materiens fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to a theoretical study of local environment effects in alloys. A fundamental property of a disordered system is that all chemically equivalent atoms are different due to their different chemical environments, in contrast to an ideal periodic solid where all the atoms that occupy equivalent positions in the crystal have exactly the same physical properties.

  4. 14. First-principles description of planarfaults in metals and alloys

    Author : Wei Li; Levente Vitos; Ujfalassy Habil Balazs; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Phase interface and stacking fault are two common planar defects in metallic materials. In the present thesis, the interfacial energy and the generalized stacking fault energy of random alloys are investigated using density functional theory formulated within the exact muffin-tin orbitals (EMTO) method in combination with the coherent-potential approximation (CPA).

  5. 15. Elastic Properties of Iron Alloys from First-Principles Theory

    Author : Hualei Zhang; Levente Vitos; Blanka Magyari-Köpe; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Accurate description of materials requires the most advanced atomic-scale techniques from both experimental and theoretical areas. In spite of numerous available techniques, however, the experimental study of the atomic-scale properties and phenomena even in simple solids is rather difficult. READ MORE
