چکیده
Predicting and characterizing the crystal structure of materials is a key problem in materials research and development. We report the results of ab initio LDA/GGA computations for the following systems: AgAu, AgCd, AgMg, AgMo∗, AgNa, AgNb∗, AgPd, AgRh∗, AgRu∗, AgTc∗, AgTi, AgY, AgZr, AlSc, AuCd, AuMo∗, AuNb, AuPd, AuPt∗, AuRh∗, AuRu∗, AuSc, AuTc∗, AuTi, AuY, AuZr, CdMo∗, CdNb∗, CdPd, CdPt, CdRh, CdRu∗, CdTc∗, CdTi, CdY, CdZr, CrMg∗, MoNb, MoPd, MoPt, MoRh, MoRu, MoTc∗, MoTi, MoY∗, MoZr, NbPd, NbPt, NbRh, NbRu, NbTc, NbY∗, NbZr∗, PdPt, PdRh∗, PdRu∗, PdTc, PdTi, PdY, PdZr, PtRh, PtRu, PtY, PtTc, PtTi, PtZr, RhRu, RhTc, RhTi, RhY, RhZr, RuTi, RuTc, RuY, RuZr, TcTi, TcY, TcZr, TiZr∗, YZr∗ (∗ = systems in which the ab initio method predicts that no compounds are stable). A detailed comparison to experimental data confirms the high accuracy with which ab initio methods can predict ground states.

Data Mining Approach to Ab-Initio Prediction of Crystal Structure
Predicting crystal structure is one of the most fundamental problems in materials science and a key early step in computational materials design. Ab initio simulation methods are a powerful tool for predicting crystal structure, but are too slow to explore the extremely large space of possible structures for new alloys. Here we describe ongoing work on a novel method (Data Mining of Quantum Cal...
متن کاملThe Mn effect on magnetic structure of FeMn-B amorphous metals
Fe-rich Fe-B amorphous metals exhibit approximately collinear magnetic structure. When a certain amount of Fe atoms are replaced with Mn, the magnetic structure of the alloys is found to become non-collinear. We performed electronic structure calculations using the locally selfconsistent multiple scattering (LSMS) method for supercell samples generated by ab initio molecular dynamics simulation...

متن کاملHigh-throughput and data mining with ab initio methods
Accurate ab initio methods for performing quantum mechanical calculations have been available for many years, but their speed, complexity and instability have generally constrained researchers to studying only a few systems at a time. However, advances in computer speed and ab initio algorithms have now created fast and robust codes, where large numbers of calculations can be performed automati...
متن کامل4 An ab - initio theoretical investigation of the soft - magnetic properties of permalloys
We study Ni 80 Fe 20-based permalloys with the relativistic spin-polarized Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker electronic structure method. Treating the compositional disorder with the coherent potential approximation, we investigate how the magnetocrys-talline anisotropy, K, and magnetostriction, λ, of Ni-rich Ni-Fe alloys vary with the addition of small amounts of non-magnetic transition metals, Cu and Mo...
