First-principles calculations of structural and electronic properties of Tl_xGa_(1-x)As alloys

The zincblende ternary alloys Tl_xGa_(1-x) As(0 x 1) are studied by numerical analysis based on the plane wave pseudopotential method within the density functional theory and the local density approximation. To model the alloys,16-atom supercells with the 2 × 2 × 2 dimensions are used and the dependency of the lattice parameter, bulk modulus,electronic structure, energy band gap, and optical bowing on the concentration x are analyzed. The results indicate that the ternary Tl_xGa_(1-x) As alloys have an average band gap bowing parameter of 4.48 eV for semiconductor alloys and 2.412 eV for semimetals. It is found that the band gap bowing strongly depends on composition and alloying a small Tl content with GaAs produces important modifications in the band structures of the alloys.     

Metallic magnetism in amorphous TM-Y (TM = Mn,Fe, Co,Ni) alloys

Systematic variations of magnetic properties in amorphous TM-Y (TM = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) alloys are investigated on the basis of a finite temperature theory of amorphous metallic magnetism which takes into account both thermal spin fluctuations and the fluctuations due to structural and configurations disorder. It is shown that the magnetic phase diagrams calculated in the most random atomic configuration explain qualitatively the spinglass (SG) in Mn-Y, the SG ferromagnetism (F) transition in Fe-Y, and the F-paramagnetism transition in Co-Y and Ni-Y alloys. Magnetization vs concentration curves and susceptibility vs concentration curves as well as the effective Bohr magneton numbers are also shown to be explained qualitatively or semi-quantitatively by the theory. Their miscroscopic mechanisms are elucidated by means of their electronic structures, magnetic couplings, and atomic short range order. It is found that the magnetism in Fe-Y and Mn-Y amorphous alloys is strongly influenced by the atomic short range order. The result explains different magnetic phase diagrams in amorphous Fe-Y alloys and experimental SG transition temperatures in amorphous Mn-Y alloys.     

The Electronic and Magnetic Properties of FCC Iron Clusters in FCC 4D Metals

The electronic and magnetic structures of small FCC iron clusters in FCC Rh, Pd and Ag were calculated using the discrete variational method as a function of cluster size and lattice relaxation. It was found that unrelaxed iron clusters, remain ferromagnetic as the cluster sizes increase, while for relaxed clusters antiferromagnetism develops as the size increases depending on the host metal. For iron in Rh the magnetic structure changes from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic for clusters as small as 13 Fe atoms, whereas for Fe in Ag antiferromagnetism is exhibited for clusters of 24 Fe atoms. On the hand, for Fe in Pd the transition from ferromagnetism to antiferromagnetism occurs for clusters as large as 42 Fe atoms. The difference in the magnetic trends of these Fe clusters is related to the electronic properties of the underlying metallic matrix. The local d densities of states, the magnetic moments and hyperfine parameters are calculated in the ferromagnetic and the antiferromagnetic regions. In addition, the average local moment in iron-palladium alloys is calculated and compared to experimental results.

First-principle study of the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of amorphous Fe-B alloys

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of amorphous Fe_100−xB_x alloys (x=9, 17, 25, 27.3, 33.3, 36.3) are investigated using first-principles calculations. In these amorphous alloys, the short-range order is manifested as a series of Fe- or B-centered polyhedra such as tricapped trigonal prism, icosahedron, and bcc-like structural unit. The electron densities of states of the amorphous alloys resemble those of crystalline Fe borides, which further confirm the similarity of the local order in the amorphous and crystalline phases. All B atoms carry small negative moments of about −0.1μ_B, while small negative moments are also found on very few Fe sites for the Fe-rich compositions (x=9, 17). The average magnetic moment per Fe atom decreases nonlinearly with increasing B composition, which can be associated with the nonlinear relationship between mass density and composition.     

Geometric structure of Bergman clusters related to bulk amorphous alloys and quasicrystals

The fcc Zr₂Ni- and MgCu₂-type phases, being primary crystalline products of certain amorphous alloys with high glass-forming ability, should provide local structural information about the related amorphous alloys. The present paper gives a detailed analysis of the common structural features of these two fcc phases. They are both built from a similar building block consisting of tetrahedrally packed icosahedra. They also have shelled local structures similar to the first two shells of the Bergman-type clusters found in many icosahedral quasicrystals. Therefore the Bergman-type clusters probably play an important role in amorphous phase formation. Because of topological close packing inside dual-intergrown icosahedra, characteristic of Bergman clusters, the atomic radius ratios of the first- and second-shell atoms with respect to the central atom are nearly equal and fall in the range 1.1–1.2.     

A molecular orbital model for the electronic structure of transition metal atoms in silcate and aluminate alloys

Applied to transition metal oxides and silicate and aluminate alloys, a classification scheme that separates non-crystalline dielectrics into three groups with different amorphous morphologies, demonstrates a direct correlation between stability against crystallization and oxygen atom coordination. It also provides a local bonding model for molecular orbital (MO), calculations that are based on the coordination and symmetry of transition metal atoms and the orbital energies of their oxygen neighbors. These calculations provide important insights into the electronic structure of transition metal dielectrics, e.g. the role of anti-bonding d-states in determining conduction band offset energies with respect to Si.     

Surface alloying of immiscible metals induced by surface state shift

By using first principles calculations, it is found that the noble metal atoms Ag, Au and Cu would like to occupy the vacancy sites of the W(0 0 1) or Mo(0 0 1) surface to form the substitutional surface alloys, despite the fact that they do not like to form alloy in the bulk. The electronic local function (ELF) for these substitutional surface alloys shows that there is no obvious chemical bonding between the noble metals and W or Mo. The analysis of electronic structures lets us conclude that the surface alloying of immiscible metals may originate from the surface state shift of W (or Mo) induced by changes of the electronic environment of surface W (or Mo) when surface W (or Mo) atoms are alternatively replaced by Ag (Au or Cu).     

Photoemission and electronic structure of Mo,Ru and Amorphous MoRuB and MoRuP

The electronic structures of molybdenum, ruthenium and amorphous Mo₄₈ Ru₃₂ B₂₀ and Mo₄₀ Ru₄₀ P₂₀ are investigated by the XPS and UPS techniques. The experimental results of pure elements are in agreement with previous band calculations. The valence bands of the amorphous alloys are quite comparable to those obtained from pure Mo and Ru assuming hypothetical alloys. For the investigated alloys, the electronic DOS's at the Fermi level are intermediate between those of transition metal components. The disordering on the band structure, due to alloying effects, is found to be larger for the phosphorus based alloy than for the boron one. A qualitative band model can explain the various observed properties; the experimental results are also discussed in relation with the atomic volumes.     

Effects of structure on exchange interactions in crystalline and amorphous alloys GdxY50−xAg50

Magnetic interactions and effects of dilution with nonmagnetic Y on the magnetic properties of crystalline and amorphous alloys Gd_xY_50−xAg₅₀ (10 ≤ x ≤ 50) have been investigated by measurements of bulk magnetization and susceptibility and by Mössbauer spectroscopy with ¹⁵⁵Gd. The crystalline alloys order antiferromagnetically for all Gd concentrations with a noncollinear arrangement of Gd moments induced by negative biquadratic exchange interactions. In amorphous alloys, ferromagnetic order is found for large Gd concentrations (x ≥ 40). Below the critical concentration x_cr, in the range 30<x_cr<40, properties typical for magnetic cluster glasses are observed. Magnetic hyperfine fields B_hf at ¹⁵⁵Gd nuclei vary with x in opposite directions in amorphous and in crystalline alloys. In crystalline alloys, the variation is due to a positive transferred hyperfine field. In amorphous alloys, a reduction of |B_hf| with decreasing Gd concentration is caused by a reduction of the frozen Gd moments in the cluster glass phase.
