Možné transformační dráhy spojující struktury C11b, C40 and C54 v MoSi2
Káňa, Tomáš ; Legut, Dominik ; Šob, Mojmír
We suggest three transformation paths between the ideal C11b , C40 and C54 structures of transition-metal disilicides. These three structures can be regarded as different stackings of identical planes of atoms. Each suggested transformation path consists in shifting these atomic planes in three directions. The shift of planes is described by one parameter p <0;1>. Along each path, we calculate the total energy of MoSi2 as a function of p. Our results confirm the structural order C11b → C40 →C54 in MoSi2. The C11b–C54 path exhibits the largest energy barrier, 2.5 eV/f.u (f.u. means the formula unit). The energy barrier of the C11b–C40 path is lower, 1.7 eV/f.u. and finally the energy barrier of the C40–C54 path is the lowest one, 1.4 eV/f.u.

Nanoindentation and theoretical strength in metals and intermetallics
Šob, Mojmír ; Legut, Dominik ; Friák, Martin ; Fiala, J. ; Vitek, V. ; Hafner, J.
The present contribution gives an account of applications of quantum-mechanical (first-principles) electronic structure calculations to the problem of theoretical strength in metals and intermetallics. First, we briefly describe the way of simulating the tensile test and the electronic structure calculational method. Then we discuss the theoretical strength values in a number of elemental metals and intermetallics and compare them with available experimental data, both from measurements on whiskers and from nanoindentation experiments.
