When processing single crystal X-ray diffraction datasets for twins of Al2Cu sample synthesized by the high-pressure sintering (HPS) method, we have clarified why the crystal structure of Al2Cu was incorrectly solved about a century ago. The structural relationships between all existing Al2Cu phases, including the Owen-, θ-, θ’-, and Ω-Al2Cu phases, were investigated and established based on a proposed pseudo Al2Cu phase. Two potential phases have been built up by adjusting the packing sequences of A/B layers of Al atoms that were inherent in all existing Al2Cu phases. The mechanical, thermal, and dynamical stability of two such novel phases and their electronic properties were investigated by first-principles calculations.

The crystal structure of the gadolinium iron bismuthide Gd6FeBi2 has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and analyzed in detail using first-principles calculations. The structure is isotypic with the Zr6CoAl2 structure, which is a variant of the ZrNiAl structure and its binary prototype Fe2P (Pearson code hP9, Wyckoff sequence g f d a). As such, the structure is best viewed as an array of tricapped trigonal prisms of Gd atoms centered alternately by Fe and Bi. The magnetic-ordering temperature of this compound (ca 350 K) is much higher than that of other rare-earth metal-rich phases with the same or related structures. It is also higher than the ordering temperature of many other Gd-rich ternary phases, where the magnetic exchange is typically governed by Ruderman–Kittel–Kasuya–Yosida (RKKY) interactions. First-principles calculations reveal a larger than expected Gd magnetic moment, with the additional contribution arising from the Gd 5d electrons. The electronic structure analysis suggests strong Gd 5d–Fe 3d hybridization to be the cause of this effect, rather than weak interactions between Gd and Bi. These details are of importance for understanding the magnetic response and explaining the high ordering temperature in this material.

In order to give experimental insights on the atomic structure of the Si atomic wires developing on the β-SiC(100) surface, we use synchrotron radiation-based x-ray diffraction at grazing incidence to study a network of such atomic lines in a 5x2 surface array. Our results lead to an accurate surface and sub-surface structure determination evidencing a structure in agreement with a two adlayer symmetric dimer reconstruction. This atomic structure is significantly different from the 3x2 surface structure, giving new insights on the Si atomic lines stability.

In this study, the structure and electronic properties of the spinel compound Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) are investigated both theoretical and experimental methods. The experimental studies of structural and electronic properties were performed by X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectroscopy. The first principles calculations allowed to establish the relationship between the structure and electronic properties. The spinel type structure of LTO is refined by the Rietveld analysis using the X-ray diffraction (XRD). The band gap of LTO was determined to be 3.55 eV using the UV-visible absorption spectra. The Density functional theory (DFT) augmented without and with the Hubbard U correction (GGA and GGA +U+J0) is used to elucidate the electronic structure of LTO. We have performed systematic studies of the first principles calculations based on the GGA and GGA+U for the crystal structure and electronic properties of spinel LTO. We propose that a Hubbard U correction improves the DFT results.
