We present experimental data showing that the equiatomic CrMnFeCoNi high-entropy alloy undergoes two magnetic transformations at temperatures below 100 K while maintaining its fcc structure down to 3 K. The first transition, paramagnetic spin glass, was detected 93 and second transition of ferromagnetic type occurred 38 Field-assisted cooling resulted in a systematic vertical shift hysteresis curves. Strength direction associated magnetization bias proportional strength field shows linear...

The geometric and magnetic structures of fully relaxed symmetrical tilt $\ensuremath{\Sigma}5(310)$ grain boundaries (GBs) in iron $\ensuremath{\Sigma}5(210)$ GBs nickel have been investigated using density-functional theory. We found for both an enhancement the local moments atoms GB plane ($2.55\text{ }{\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}$ $0.67\text{ nickel) which is correlated with larger atomic volume compared to bulk.

A detailed theoretical study of magnetic behavior iron along the bcc-fcc (Bain's) transformation paths at various atomic volumes, using both local spin-density approximation (LSDA) and generalized gradient (GGA), is presented. The total energies are calculated by spin-polarized full-potential linearized augmented plane waves method displayed in contour plots as functions tetragonal distortion $c/a$ volume; borderlines between phases shown.

First-principles electronic structure and positron-state calculations for perfect defected 3C- 6H-SiC polytypes of SiC have been performed. Monovacancies divacancies treated; the influence lattice position nitrogen impurities considered in former case. Positron affinities binding energies calculated; trends are discussed, results compared with recent atomic superposition method calculations. Experimental determination electron positron work functions same allows an assessment accuracy...
The many-body empirical potentials that describe atomic interactions in the copper-bismuth system were constructed using both experimental data and physical quantities obtained by ab initio full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital calculations for a metastable ${\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}$Bi compound. These then used to calculate structure of grain boundary copper containing bismuth, which was at same time studied high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM). Excellent agreement between calculated...
A tensile test in ferromagnetic iron for loading [001] and [111] directions is simulated by ab initio electronic structure calculations using all-electron full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave method within the generalized gradient approximation. The theoretical strengths Young's moduli of are determined compared with those other materials. magnetic elastic behaviours under uniaxial discussed detail results isotropic tension (i.e. negative hydrostatic pressure). Marked anisotropy...
Ab initio electronic structure calculations of the ideal strength Fe, Co, Ni, and Cr under isotropic tension were performed using linear muffin-tin orbital method in atomic sphere approximation. Magnetic ordering was taken into account by means a spin-polarized calculation. Two approximations for exchange-correlation term employed: namely, local (spin) density approximation generalized gradient Computed values equilibrium lattice parameters, bulk moduli, magnetic moments compared with...
The effect of structural interface imperfections on the interlayer magnetic coupling is studied theoretically by considering (i) a macroscopic model roughness for possible fluctuations spacer thickness, and (ii) microscopic interdiffusion at ideal interfaces. For Co/Cu/Co(001) system, we found dramatic decrease amplitudes oscillations even small amount imperfections, particularly strong short period oscillations, thus indicating source discrepancy between ab initio calculations experiment....
