The earth’s core: an approach from first principles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The Earth’s core is largely composed of iron (Fe), alloyed with less dense elements such as sulphur, silicon and/or oxygen. The phase relations and physical properties of both solid and liquid Fe-alloys are therefore of great geophysical importance. As

Characterization of platinum nitride from first-principles calculations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2009
We have performed a systematic study of the ground state properties of the zinc-blende, rock-salt, tetragonal, cuprite, fluorite and pyrite phases of platinum nitride by using the plane wave pseudopotential calculations within the density functional theory. The equilibrium structural parameters and bulk moduli are computed within both the local density

First-principles electronic-band calculations on organic conductors

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2009
Predicting electronic-band structures is a key issue in understanding the properties of materials or in materials design. In this review article, application examples of first-principles calculations, which are not based on adjustable empirical ...

Linear and nonlinear Edelstein effects in chiral topological semimetals

open access: yesMaterials Today Quantum
Recently, there has been growing interest in achieving on-demand control of magnetism through electrical and optical means. In this work, we provide first-principles predictions for the linear and nonlinear Edelstein effects (LEE and NLEE) in the chiral ...

First-principles study of strain effects on hydrogen trapping at vacancy clusters in BCC iron

open access: yesJournal of Materials Research and Technology
Vacancies, as typical hydrogen traps, play a critically important but poorly understood role in the hydrogen-induced failure of body-centered cubic (BCC) iron.

Surface-Dependent Isotopic Adsorption of CO on α-Al2O3: Role of Weak Interactions and Zero-Point Energy

open access: yesMolecules
Carbon isotopes, particularly 13C, are critical for applications in food authentication, biomedical diagnostics, and metabolic research; however, their efficient separation remains challenging due to their low natural abundance.

First-Principles Study of O2 Dissociative Adsorption on Cu-, Pt-, and Pd-Doped Ag(111) Surfaces

open access: yesCrystals
The dissociative adsorption of O2 strongly depends on the activity of CO oxidation electrocatalysts. Using first-principles calculations, we investigated O2 dissociative adsorption on Cu-, Pt-, and Pd-doped Ag(111) surfaces.
