AbstractThe effects of boron and sulfur impurities on the ideal cleavage fracture properties of Ni3Al under tensile stress are investigated for the first time using the full-potential linearmuffin- tin-orbital (FLMTO) total-energy method, with a repeated slab arrangement of atoms simulating an isolated cleavage plane. Results for the stress-strain relationship, ideal cleavage energies, ideal yield stress and strains with and without impurities are presented, and the electronic mechanism underlying the contrasting effects of boron and sulfur impurities on the ideal cleavage of Ni3Al is elucidated.

ABSTRACTThe possibility of passivating the Si(100) surface by adsorption of Group-VI atoms (S and Se) is investigated through first-principles calculations. The structure of the ideal (1×1) configuration with the Si surface dangling bonds saturated by full monolayer coverage is examined in detail. The Group-VI adsorbates form covalent bonds to the substrate with bond-lengths very close to the sums of the covalent radii. The bond-angles are larger than in bulk configurations of the Group-VI elements. The ideal (1×1) configuration gives rise to a surface electronic state with large dispersion spanning the entire band-gap of Si. Deviations from this configuration by in-phase or out-of-phase tilting of the adsorbate atoms result in energy costs which can give qualitative information on the relative strength of adsorbate-adsorbate and adsorbate-substrate interactions.

When working with economic accounts it may occur that multiple estimates of a single datum exist, with different degrees of uncertainty or data quality. This paper addresses the problem of defining a method that can reconcile conflicting estimates, given best guess and uncertainty values. We proceeded from first principles, using two different routes. First, under an entropy-based approach, the data reconciliation problem is addressed as a particular case of a wider data balancing problem, and an alternative setting is found in which the multiple estimates are replaced by a single one. Afterwards, under an axiomatic approach, a set of properties is defined, which characterizes the ideal data reconciliation method. Under both approaches, the conclusion is that the formula for the reconciliation of best guesses is a weighted arithmetic average, with the inverse of uncertainties as weights, and that the formula for the reconciliation of uncertainties is a harmonic average.

ABSTRACTWe present the results of an exploratory theoretical study of Na3ClO in the anti-perovskite structure. The FLAPW method is used to calculate the static lattice properties, pressure equation of state, and the ferroic Flu phonon frequencies in the cubic PmSm phase. We also compute the compression behavior of NaCl and Na2O and find that the lattice energy of Na3ClO at ambient pressure (static lattice) is only marginally larger than of products, in agreement with experiment. However, detailed calculations reveal M- and R-point phonon instabilities in the ideal cubic phase and suggest the existence of lower symmetry structure involving slight rotations of ONa6 octahedra.

The grain boundary surface is the excess energy of the grain boundary as the lattice on one side of the grain is translated relative to the lattice on the other side of the grain. The maximum in the slope of the grain boundary surface determines the ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding. We presented the ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding in aluminum Σ3(11 2)[110] tilt grain boundary from the first-principles calculations. The ideal shear strength for the grain boundary sliding was much smaller than the ideal shear strength of a perfect single crystal.
