The intermetallic compound Fe 2 AlTi (alternatively Fe 2 TiAl) is an important phase in the ternary Fe-Al-Ti phase diagram. Previous theoretical studies showed a large discrepancy of approximately an order of magnitude between the ab initio computed magnetic moments and the experimentally measured ones. To unravel the source of this discrepancy, we analyze how various mechanisms present in realistic materials such as residual strain effects or deviations from stoichiometry affect magnetism. Since in spin-unconstrained calculations the system always evolves to the spin configuration which represents a local or global minimum in the total energy surface, finite temperature spin effects are not well described. We therefore turn the investigation around and use constrained spin calculations, fixing the global magnetic moment. This approach provides direct insight into local and global energy minima (reflecting metastable and stable spin phases) as well as the curvature of the energy surface, which correlates with the magnetic entropy and thus the magnetic configuration space accessible at finite temperatures. Based on this approach, we show that deviations from stoichiometry have a huge impact on the local magnetic moment and can explain the experimentally observed low magnetic moments.

The behavior (substitution and adsorption) of a phosphorus atom on the surface of silicene is studied using quantum mechanical calculations. The most favorable positions, binding energy and activation of the phosphorus diffusion barrier have been established. The change in the local magnetic moment of the phosphorus atom is described depending on its position and the position of the surrounding silicon elements.

Although there are intensive studies on technetium oxide SrTcO 3 recently, its ground-state band structure has never been given and no consensus on its band gap is obtained. We use the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with on-site Coulomb corrections (GGA + U) method to study its band structure and the optical band gap. A series of on-site interaction U and J values are employed in the calculations and the concomitant evolutions of the electronic structure, local magnetic moment of technetium ( Tc ), the exchange constant and the Néel temperature are investigated. The inter-site exchange constant between antiferromagnetic Tc atoms through medium oxygen is found to increase firstly and then decrease with an increasing U, in agreement with the trend obtained by tight-binding method. The appropriate on-site U and J values are calibrated by comparing the calculated local magnetic moment of Tc with the experimental value. It is found that when U = 2.3 eV, J = 0.3 eV are included for Tc 4d in GGA + U calculations, the local magnetic moment of Tc in orthorhombic SrTcO 3 is 2.01 μB, the same as the experimental value obtained at 4 K. The calculated band structure shows that the band gap is a direct band gap with a magnitude of 1.61 eV.

Graphene is known as an advanced material that has good electrical conductivity and heat conductivity. To understand the nature of graphene it is necessary to calculate the energy, band gap and vibrate frequency at the nanoscale. One method that can be used is the ab initio calculation using the Hatree-Fock method. In this research, we performed a computational study of the electronic properties of grapheme within RHF/STO-3G basis set in different cluster molecules.  From this study we get band gap for graphene in ab initio level, have a consistant value around zero.  Using ab initio method, we can obtain a deeper understanding about the graphene behaviour at the molecular scale.
