Ab initio study of magnetic structure and chemical reactivity of Cr2O3 and its (0001) surface

J. A. Cline, A. A. Rigos, T. A. Arias

We present the first ab initio density functional theory study of the oxygen-terminated Cr2O3 (0001) surface within the local spin-density approximation (LSDA). We find that spin p…

New Algebraic Formulation of Density Functional Calculation

Sohrab Ismail-Beigi, T. A. Arias

This article addresses a fundamental problem faced by the ab initio community: the lack of an effective formalism for the rapid exploration and exchange of new methods. To rectify…

Ab Initio Study of Screw Dislocations in Mo and Ta: A new picture of plasticity in bcc transition metals

Sohrab Ismail-Beigi, T. A. Arias

We report the first ab initio density-functional study of <111> screw dislocations cores in the bcc transition metals Mo and Ta. Our results suggest a new picture of bcc plasticity…

Evidence for charge localization in the ferromagnetic phase of La_(1-x)Ca_(x)MnO_3 from High real-space-resolution x-ray diffraction

S. J. L. Billinge, Th. Proffen, V. Petkov +2

High real-space-resolution atomic pair distribution functions of La_(1-x)Ca_(x)MnO_3 (x=0.12, 0.25 and 0.33) have been measured using high-energy x-ray powder diffraction to study…

Nonlinear Measures for Characterizing Rough Surface Morphologies

J. Kondev, C. L. Henley, D. G. Salinas

We develop a new approach to characterizing the morphology of rough surfaces based on the analysis of the scaling properties of contour loops, i.e. loops of constant height. Given…

High real-space resolution measurement of the local structure of Ga_1-xIn_xAs using x-ray diffraction

V. Petkov, I-K. Jeong, J. S. Chung +3

High real-space resolution atomic pair distribution functions (PDF)s from the alloy series Ga_1-xIn_xAs have been obtained using high-energy x-ray diffraction. The first peak in th…

Molecular weight effects on chain pull-out fracture of reinforced polymeric interfaces

Mohsen Sabouri-Ghomi, Slava Ispolatov, Martin Grant

Using Brownian dynamics, we simulate the fracture of polymer interfaces reinforced by diblock connector chains. We find that for short chains the interface fracture toughness depen…

Extending Linear Response: Inferences from Electron-Ion Structure Factors

A. A. Louis, N. W. Ashcroft

Linear response methods applied to electron systems often display a level of accuracy which is notable when viewed in terms of the strengths of perturbing interactions. Neglect of…

Electron-Ion Structure Factors and the General Accuracy of Linear Response

A. A. Louis, N. W. Ashcroft

We show that electron-ion structure factors in fluid metallic systems can be well understood from an application of linear response in the electron system, combined with hard-spher…
