Early Transition

Interest in the Mn+1AXn phases (M = early transition metal; A = group 13–16 elements, and X = C or N) is driven by their ceramic and metallic properties, which make them attractive candidates for numerous applications. In the present study, we use the density functional theory to calculate the elastic properties and the incorporation of lithium atoms in the 312 MAX phases. It is shown that the energy to incorporate one Li atom in Mo3SiC2, Hf3AlC2, Zr3AlC2, and Zr3SiC2 is particularly low, and thus, theoretically, these materials should be considered for battery applications.

Based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) with noncollinear-magnetism formulations, we have calculated the magnetism of single 3d transition-metal atoms and the magnetic anisotropies of supported Ni chains on the Au(110)-(1 × 2) surface. Our results for single absorbed 3d transition-metal atoms show that the surface relaxations enhance the orbital moments of left-end elements (Ti, V) and quenches the orbital moments of right-end elements (Fe, Co, Ni) on the Au(110)-(1 × 2) surface. The magnetic anisotropies of Ni atomic chains on the surface are closely related to orbital quenching. The easy magnetized axes change from the direction parallel to the chains to the direction perpendicular to the Ni chains when they absorb on the surface.

Metal Dioxides

The elastic properties of rutile transition metal dioxides XO2 ( X = Ru , Rh , Os , and Ir ) are investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Young's modulus as well as Possion ratio are given. OsO 2 and IrO 2 show strong incompressibility. The hardness estimated for these dioxides shows that they are not superhard solids. The obtained Debye temperatures are comparative to those of transition metal dinitrides or diborides.

The Density Functional Theory

The formation enthalpy, electronic structures, and elastic moduli of the intermetallic compound Ti5Si3 with substitutions Zr, V, Nb, and Cr are investigated by using first-principles methods based on the density-functional theory. Our calculation shows that the site occupancy behaviors of alloying elements in Ti5Si3, determined by their atom radius, are consistent with the available experimental observations. Furthermore, using the Voigt–Reuss–Hill (VRH) approximation method, we obtained the bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, and the Young’s modulus E. Among these four substitutions, the V, Nb, and Cr substitutions can improve the ductility of Ti5Si3 effectively, while Zr substitution has little effect on the elastic properties of Ti5Si3. The elastic property variations of Ti5Si3 due to different substitutions are found to be correlated with the Me4d–Me4d antibonding and the strengthened Me4d–Si bonding in the solids.
