Based on first-principles calculations and thermodynamic stability analysis, we find that MnSnO 3 and MgSnO 3 could be synthesized under restricted condition, as their bulk phases are stable in a limited chemical potential range with respect to the competing phases. It is also found that FeSnO 3 and ZnSnO 3 are unstable under thermodynamic equilibrium conditions. Electronic structure calculations suggest that the hybridization between TM (transition metal) and O could play important roles for magnetoelectric properties in the XSnO 3 (X = Mn, Zn, Fe), while the hybridization between Sn and O dominates in MgSnO 3.

The mechanism governing the deoxidation of vanadium metal is regarded as fundamental knowledge; however, it has not been elucidated in existing literature. In this paper, the thermodynamic data of V-H-O systems were summarized, and the Gibbs free energies of the main compounds were calculated. Consequently, the deoxidation limits of different reductants in a V-O system were evaluated, namely: Si, Al, and Mg. It was observed that Si cannot remove an O content of less than 7.27 wt% from V. However, Al was the stronger reducing agent; it could remove O contents of up to 0.01 and 0.1 wt% at 800 and 1050 ?C, respectively. Nevertheless, Mg exhibited the best reducing properties as it could remove less than 0.01 wt% of O at 1100 ?C. The addition of H2 renders the V-O solid solution unstable to a certain extent, thereby indicating that H2 facilitates deoxygenation. Furthermore, the results obtained by analyzing the equilibrium conditions were in accordance with the results of the deoxidation limit in the V-O system. In other words, this study demonstrates that the oxygen in vanadium can be effectively controlled by changing the reductant dosage and temperature.

In the present investigation, we report theoretical study of total energy, energy band gap in X-direction, bulk modulus, elastic constants and pressure derivative of elastic constants of Si1-xSnxsolid solution using higher-order perturbation theory along with application of our proposed potential, where x is concentration of Sn. The parameter of our potential is determined using zero-pressure equilibrium condition. In the present calculations, The local-field correction function can be employed to consider exchange and correlation effects. The present study showed that the physical quantities under investigation varied with the concentration of the constituent element.

The experimental and theoretical study of the solid solution GexFe4−xNy (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) reveals a structural transition from the cubic to the tetragonal system as well as a magnetic transition from a ferromagnet to a spin glass accompanying the increasing germanium concentration.
