Structural stability and electronic properties of GaAs[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) nanowires (NWs) in zinc-blende (ZB) ([Formula: see text] diameter [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Å) and wurtzite (WZ) ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Å) phases are investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). GaAs ([Formula: see text]) and GaP ([Formula: see text]) compound NWs in WZ phase are found energetically more stable than in ZB structural ones. In the case of GaAs[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text] alloy NWs, the energetically favorable phase is found size and composition dependent. All the presented NWs have semiconductor characteristics. The quantum size effect is clearly demonstrated for all GaAs[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text]) NWs. The band gaps of ZB and WZ structural GaAs compound NWs with [Formula: see text] diameter [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Å and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Å, respectively are enlarged by the addition of concentrations of phosphorus for obtaining GaAs[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text] NWs proportional to the x values around 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75.

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

AbstractThis contribution reports static ionic displacements in ferromagnetic disordered Fe70Pd30 alloys obtained by relaxation of the ionic positions of a 108-atom supercell within the framework of density functional theory. Comparison with a simple statistical model based on Lennard-Jones pair interactions reveals that these displacements are significantly larger than can be explained by the different sizes of the elemental constituents. The discrepancies are presumably related to collective displacements of the Fe atoms. Corresponding distortions are experimentally observed for ordered Fe3Pt and predicted by first-principles calculations for all ordered Fe-rich L12 alloys with Ni group elements and originate from details of the electronic structure at the Fermi level.
