Ab-Initio Calculated Energetics of Sigma Phase in Mo-Fe and Mo-Co Systems
Houserová, Jana ; Šob, Mojmír ; Vřešťál, J.
It is shown that first-principles electronic structure calculations may be used to estimate the energy of formation of sigma-phase in molybdenum-based systems. The calculations are performed with the help of the linear muffin-tin orbital method in the atomic sphere approximation (LMTO-ASA) and the full-potential linear augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The exchange-correlation energy is evaluated within the general gradient approximation (GGA).

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.

Structure and magnetism of iron and iron overlayers from the first principles
Friák, Martin ; Šob, Mojmír ; Vitek, V.
A detailed theoretical study of magnetic behavior of iron along the bcc fcc (Bain's) transformation paths at various atomic volumes is presented. The total energies are calculated by spin polarized full potential LAPW method and are displayed in contour plots as functions of tetragonal distortion c/a and volume; borderlines between various magnetic phases are shown. Stability of tetragonal magnetic phases of fl Fe is discussed. The calculated phase boundaries are used to predict the lattice parameters and magnetic states of iron overlayers on various (001) substrates.

Ab initio simulation of three-axial deformation of perfect iron crystal
Černý, M. ; Šandera, P. ; Pokluda, J. ; Friák, Martin ; Šob, Mojmír
Ab initio electronic structure calculations of ideal strength, bulk modulus and equilibrium lattice parameter of iron in the body-centered-cubic lattice under three-axial tension are performed using the linear muĆn-tin orbitals method in atomic sphere ap proximation (LMTO-ASA) and the full-potential linearized augmented plane waves method (FLAPW). Magnetic ordering was taken into account by means of spin-polarized calculation. Two exchange-correlation energy approximations were employed, namely the local (spin) den-sity approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Computed values are compared with experimental data.

Ab initio simulation of a tensile test in iron
Friák, Martin ; Šob, Mojmír ; Vitek, V.
A tensile test in ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic iron is simulated by ab initio electronic structure calculations using all-electron full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FLAPW) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The theoretical tensile strength of ferromagnetic iron for [001] loading is determined and compared with that of other materials. The magnetic behavior of iron under tensile loading is studied in detail and compared with results for triaxial loading.

Ab initio calculations of theoretical strength and phase stability in copper
Černý, M. ; Šob, Mojmír ; Šandera, P.
Simulation of tensile test of copper cryslat along <001> is performed using ab initio full-potential linear augmented plane waves (FLAPW) method. Both the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) are used to evaluate exchange-correlation contribution to the total energy. Equilibrium lattice parameter and Young modulus are computed ro assess reliability of our results by comparing them with experiment. Stability conditions for uniaxially loaded system are presented and analyzed. Finally, the ideal strength (IS) is calculated.
