Ternary Bismuthide SrPtBi2: Computation and Experiment in Synergism to Explore Solid-State Materials

Xin Gui, Xin Zhao, Zuzanna Sobczak +4

A combination of theoretical calculation and the experimental synthesis to explore the new ternary compound is demonstrated in the Sr-Pt-Bi system. Since Pt-Bi is considered as a n…

FeRh groundstate and martensitic transformation

Nikolai A. Zarkevich, Duane D. Johnson

Cubic B2 FeRh exhibits a metamagnetic transition [(111) antiferromagnet (AFM) to ferromagnet (FM)] around 353 K and remains structurally stable at higher temperatures. However, the…

Ta-Nb-Mo-W refractory high-entropy alloys: anomalous ordering behavior and its intriguing electronic origin

Prashant Singh, A. V. Smirnov, Duane D. Johnson

From electronic-structure-based thermodynamic linear-response, we establish chemical ordering behavior in complex solid solutions versus how Gibbs' space is traversed -- applying i…

Elastic and electronic tuning of magnetoresistance in MoTe

Junjie Yang, Jonathan Colen, Jun Liu +3

Quasi-two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) exhibit dramatic properties that may transform electronic and photonic devices. We report on how the anomalously large…

Design of high-strength refractory complex solid-solution alloys

Prashant Singh, Aayush Sharma, Andrei V. Smirnov +4

Nickel-based superalloys and near-equiatomic high-entropy alloys containing Molybdenum are known for higher temperature strength and corrosion resistance. Yet, complex solid-soluti…

Overcoming the time limitation in Molecular Dynamics simulation of crystal nucleation: a persistent-embryo approach

Yang Sun, Huajing Song, Feng Zhang +5

The crystal nucleation from liquid in most cases is too rare to be accessed within the limited timescales of the conventional molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Here, we developed…

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy in YCo5 and LaCo5: A choice of correlation parameters and the relativistic effects

Manh Cuong Nguyen, Yongxin Yao, Cai-Zhuang Wang +2

The dependence of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) of MCo5 (M = Y, La) on the Coulomb correlations and strength of spin orbit (SO) interaction within the GGA + U sche…

Phonon-Induced Topological Transition to a Type-II Weyl Semimetal

Lin-Lin Wang, Na Hyun Jo, Yun Wu +4

Given the importance of crystal symmetry for the emergence of topological quantum states, we have studied, as exemplified in NbNiTe2, the interplay of crystal symmetry, atomic disp…
