Various Be:O-codoped AlN crystals have been investigated via first-principles calculations to evaluate the role of the different combinations in effectively and efficiently inducing p-type carriers. It is found that the O atom is favored to bond with two Be atoms. The formed Be2:O complexes decrease the acceptor ionization energy to 0.11 eV, which is 0.16 eV lower than that of an isolated Be in AlN, implying that the hole concentration could probably be increased by 2–3 orders of magnitude. The electronic structure of Be2:O-codoped AlN shows that the lower ionization energy can be attributed to the interaction between Be and O. The Be–O complexes, despite failing to induce p-type carriers for the mutual compensation of Be and O, introduce new occupied states on the valence-band maximum (VBM) and hence the energy needed for the transition of electrons to the acceptor level is reduced. Thus, the Be2:O codoping method is expected to be an effective and efficient approach to realizing p-type AlN.

The corrosion mechanisms for different corrosive media on the aged 7A46 aluminum alloy were systematically investigated at nanoscale level. The combination of empirical intergranular and exfoliation corrosion behavior was employed, and coupled with first-principles calculations. Results revealed that the dispersed distribution of matrix precipitates (MPs) leads to the enhancement of the corrosion resistance pre-ageing (PA) followed by double-ageing (PA-DA) alloy. The deepest corrosion depth of PA-DA alloy was in hydrochloric acid, and the calculation result demonstrates that the passivation effect in combination with the accumulation of corrosion products in nitric acid protect the PA-DA alloy from further corrosion.
