AbstractTotal energy calculations for Ni-rich ß′-phase NiAl have been performed using the large system multiple scattering (LSMS) method. The large samples used to model the alloys involved up to 128 atoms per cell, and were constructed to have the experimental short range order (SRO) parameters. Both short range ordering and charge transfer effects are automatically taken into account in the calculation. The calculated formation energies of both stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric compounds are in excellent agreement with experiment.

ABSTRACTRecent experiments have proved the efficiency of T.E.P. measurements in phase transformation studies. The main features of the technique are presented and two particular examples of application are given (influence of plastic deformation on short range ordering (S.R.O.) and study of dissolution of the equilibrium Θ phase in Al-Cu alloys).Since the first studies [1] only very few attempts have been made to use thermoelectrical power measurements (T.E.P.) to characterize the evolution of an alloy during phase transformation. However, in spite of the complexity of the theoretical interpretations, T.E.P. measurements can give valuable informations on the microstructure of the material, sometimes with more easiness or more precision than with other techniques or even informations which would be impossible to obtain by another way.

AbstractColloidal CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) have shown promise in applications ranging from LED displays to medical imaging. Their unique photophysics depend sensitively on the presence or absence of surface defects. Using simulations, we show that CdSe NCs are inherently defective; even for stoichiometric NCs with perfect ligand passivation and no vacancies or defects, we still observe that the low energy spectrum is dominated by dark, surface-associated excitations, which are more numerous in larger NCs. Surface structure analysis shows that the majority of these states involve holes that are localized on two-coordinate Se atoms. As chalcogenide atoms are not passivated by any Lewis base ligand, varying the ligand should not dramatically change the number of dark states, which we confirm by simulating three passivation schemes. Our results have significant implications for understanding CdSe NC photophysics, and suggest that photochemistry and short-range photoinduced charge transfer should be much more facile than previously anticipated.
