Ab initio calculations of elastic properties of Ru1−xNixAl superalloys

4He Thermophysical Properties: New Ab Initio Calculations

Since 2000, atomic physicists have reduced the uncertainty of the helium-helium "ab initio" potential; for example, from approximately 0.6 % to 0.1 % at 4 bohr, and from 0.8 % to 0.1 % at 5.6 bohr. These results led us to: (1) construct a new inter-atomic potential ϕ 07, (2) recalculate values of the second virial coefficient, the viscosity, and the thermal conductivity of (4)He from 1 K to 10,...

pKa predictions of some aniline derivatives by ab initio calculations

: In this work, different levels of theory containing HF, B3LYP, and MP2 with different basis sets such as 6-31G, 6-31G*, 6-311G, 6-311+G, 6-31+G*, 6-31+G are used to predict relative acidity constants of some aniline derivatives. Three different kinds of radii containing UAHF, Bondi, and Pauling are used to study how cavity forms change acidity constants. In all cases, DPCM model is used to si...

Effect of Re content on elastic properties of B2 NiAl from ab initio calculations

Characterization of Elastic Properties of Porous Graphene Using an Ab Initio Study

Importance of covalent bonded two-dimensional monolayer nanostructures and also hydrocarbons is undeniably responsible for creation of new fascinating materials like polyphenylene polymer, a hydrocarbon super honeycomb network, so-called porous graphene. The mechanical properties of porous graphene such as its Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and the bulk modulus as the determinative properties...

Integrated design of Nb-based superalloys: Ab initio calculations, computational thermodynamics and kinetics, and experimental results

An optimal integration of modern computational tools and efficient experimentation is presented for the accelerated design of Nbbased superalloys. Integrated within a systems engineering framework, we have used ab initio methods along with alloy theory tools to predict phase stability of solid solutions and intermetallics to accelerate assessment of thermodynamic and kinetic databases enabling ...
