Short-range Atomic Topology of Ab initio Generated Amorphous PdSi Alloys
Isaías Rodríguez-Aguirre, Renela M. Valladares, Alexander Valladares +2
Since the pioneering efforts of Duwez and coworkers in 1965, when a solid amorphous phase of Pd-Si (-PdSi) was obtained in the vicinity of the eutectic concentration, much work…
Correlation: An Analyzing Tool for Liquids and for Amorphous Solids
Isaías Rodríguez, Renela M. Valladares, Alexander Valladares +3
For almost a century, since Bernalś attempts at a molecular theory of liquid structure(Bernal [1]), correlation functions have been the bridge to compare theoretical calculations w…
A facile approach to calculating superconducting transition temperatures in the bismuth solid phases
Isaías Rodríguez, David Hinojosa-Romero, Alexander Valladares +2
All solid phases of bismuth under pressure, but one, have been experimentally found to superconduct. From Bi-I to Bi-V, avoiding Bi-IV, they become superconductors and perhaps Bi-I…
Superconductivity in the solid phases of Bi. Is Bi-IV a superconductor?
Ariel A. Valladares, Isaias Rodriguez, David Hinojosa-Romero +2
The first successful theory of superconductivity was the one proposed by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer in 1957. This breakthrough fostered a remarkable growth of the field that pr…
