The new face of rhodium alloys: revealing ordered structures from first principles.
The experimental and computational data on rhodium binary alloys is sparse despite its importance in numerous applications, especially as an alloying agent in catalytic materials. Half of the Rh-transition metal systems (14 out of 28) are reported to be phase separating or are lacking experimental data. Comprehensive high-throughput first-principles calculations predict stable ordered structure...
متن کاملOrdered structures in rhenium binary alloys from first-principles calculations.
Rhenium is an important alloying agent in catalytic materials and superalloys, but the experimental and computational data on its binary alloys are sparse. Only 6 out of 28 Re transition-metal systems are reported as compound-forming. Fifteen are reported as phase-separating, and seven have high-temperature disordered σ or χ phases. Comprehensive high-throughput first-principles calculations pr...
متن کاملUncovering compounds by synergy of cluster expansion and high-throughput methods.
Predicting from first-principles calculations whether mixed metallic elements phase-separate or form ordered structures is a major challenge of current materials research. It can be partially addressed in cases where experiments suggest the underlying lattice is conserved, using cluster expansion (CE) and a variety of exhaustive evaluation or genetic search algorithms. Evolutionary algorithms h...
متن کاملCu-Au, Ag-Au, Cu-Ag, and Ni-Au intermetallics: First-principles study of temperature-composition phase diagrams and structures
The classic metallurgical systems—noble-metal alloys—that have formed the benchmark for various alloy theories are revisited. First-principles fully relaxed general-potential linearized augmented plane-wave ~LAPW! total energies of a few ordered structures are used as input to a mixed-space cluster expansion calculation to study the phase stability, thermodynamic properties, and bond lengths in...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Phase Stability Calculations of Pseudobinary Alloys of (Al,Zn)3Ti with L12, DO22 and DO23 Structures
The thermodynamic and mechanical stabilities of the Al3Ti-Zn3Ti pseudobinary alloy system is investigated from first-principles through density-functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. Both supercells calculations and sublattice cluster expansion methods are used to demonstrate that the addition of Zn to the Al sublattice of Al3Ti stabilizes the cubic L12 st...
