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 study of displacive phase transformations in iron
Friák, Martin ; Šob, Mojmír ; Wang, L. G. ; Vítek, V.
The bcc-hcp and bcc-fcc transformations in iron are studied ab initio by following a constant-volume one-parameter transformation paths. Calculation make it possible to locate, the transition configuration at which the bcc ferromagnetic structure transforms into the hcp nonmagnetic structure as well as the transition from the high-spin state to a low-spin state along the bcc-fcc transformation path.
