Chemical ordering in Cr3Al and relation to semiconducting behavior
Cr3Al shows semiconductor-like behavior which has been attributed to a combination of antiferromagnetism and chemical ordering of the Cr and Al atoms on the bcc sublattice. This article presents a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the chemical ordering in Cr3Al. Using density functional theory within the KorringaKohn-Rostoker (KKR) formalism, we consider five possible structures wi...
متن کاملElectronic Structure Calculations for Cr 1 - xAlx
Cr3Al shows semiconducting behavior that has not been explained previously. We used density functional theory calculations, performed at the Cornell NanoScale Facility to study the effect of chemical ordering and magnetism on the semiconducting behavior. The calculations show that the proposed chemically ordered Cr3Al structure in the Cr1-xAlx phase diagram is the lowest energy structure of tho...

Cr3Al shows semiconductor-like behavior, attributed to a combination of antiferromagnetism and chemical ordering. We present a detailed study of chemical ordering in Cr3Al. Using density functional theory within the Korringa Kohn Rostoker (KKR) formalism, we consider five possible Cr3Al structures. The chemically ordered, rhombohedrally distorted X-phase has the lowest energy and should therefo...
متن کاملA Review on the Semiconducting Behavior of Passive Films Formed on Mg Alloys by Mott–Schottky Analysis
Mg alloys have a vast usage where weight reduction is really significant since they do the features really well for materials of ultra-light weight. However, Mg is inherently a reactive metal and its alloys generally possess quite weak corrosion resistance that widely restricts their technological usages, especially in some rough service conditions. Despite, many investigations on the passive a...
متن کاملComparison of Semiconducting Behavior and Optical Properties of Oxyfluoride Glasses of SiO2-Al2O3-BaF2 and SiO2-Al2O3-CaF2 Systems
Amorphous semiconductors are materials with a brilliant prospect for a wide range of optical applications like solar cells, optical sensors, optical devices, and memories. The purpose of the present research was to study the semiconducting optical properties of SiO2-Al2O3-CaF2 and SiO2-Al2O3-BaF2 oxyfluoride...
