High entropy oxides (HEOx) are novel materials, which increase the potential application in the fields of energy and catalysis. However, a series of HEOx is too novel to evaluate the synthesis properties, including formation and fundamental properties. Combining first-principles calculations with machine learning (ML) techniques, we predict the lattice constants and formation energies of spinel-structured photocatalytic HEOx, (Co,Cr,Fe,Mn,Ni)3O4, for stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric structures. The effects of site occupation by different metal cations in the spinel structure are obtained through first-principles calculations and ML predictions. Our predicted results show that the lattice constants of these spinel-structured oxides are composition-dependent and that the formation energies of those oxides containing Cr atoms are low. The computing time and computing energy can be greatly economized through the tandem approach of first-principles calculations and ML.

Some of intermetallic compounds exist in a wide range of concentration around the stoichiometric composition. First-principles electronic structure calculations have been performed for constitutional defects in non-stoichiometric CoAl and CoTi in order to investigate their stabilities and structural relaxations induced by constitutional defects. For the evaluation of stabilities of constitutional defects, the compositional dependence curves both of formation energies and of lattice parameters are obtained by the calculations employing supercells in various sizes. The lattice relaxations around constitutional defects are discussed by analyzing the change in electronic structures induced by constitutional defects.

First-principles pseudopotential calculations were performed to investigate atomic and electronic structures of titanium (Ti) dopants in alumina (Al2O3). It was found that a substitutional Ti3+ defect induced an extra level occupied by one electron within the band gap of Al2O3. When two or more substitutional Ti3+ defects were located closely to each other, the defect-induced levels exhibited strong bonding interactions, and their formation energies decreased with increasing numbers of Ti3+ defects. This indicates that association and clustering of substitutional Ti3+ defects in Al2O3 can take place due to the interaction of the defect-induced levels.

AbstractPt-Sc alloys with the γ-γ′ microstructure are proposed as a basis for a new generation of Pt-based superalloys for ultrahigh-temperature applications. This alloy system was identified on the basis of first-principles calculations. Here we discuss the prospects of the Pt-Sc alloy system on the basis of calculated elastic properties, phonon spectra, and defect formation energies.
