The interactions between solute atoms and crystalline defects such as vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries are essential in determining alloy properties. Here we present a general linear correlation between two descriptors of local electronic structures and the solute-defect interaction energies in binary alloys of body-centered-cubic (bcc) refractory metals (such as W and Ta) with transition-metal substitutional solutes. One electronic descriptor is the bimodality of the

Abstract d -band reactivity theory in surface chemistry and catalysis, we develop a Bayesian learning approach to probing chemisorption processes at atomically tailored metal sites. With representative species, e.g., *O and *OH, Bayesian models trained with ab initio adsorption properties of transition metals predict site reactivity at a diverse range of intermetallics and near-surface alloys while naturally providing uncertainty quantification from posterior sampling. More importantly, this conceptual framework sheds light on the orbitalwise nature of chemical bonding at adsorption sites withd -states characteristics ranging from bulk-like semi-elliptic bands to free-atom-like discrete energy levels, bridging the complexity of electronic descriptors for the prediction of novel catalytic materials. -
Abstract Computing electron–defect (
e –d) interactions from first principles has remained impractical due to computational cost. Here we develop an interpolation scheme based on maximally localized Wannier functions (WFs) to efficiently computee –d interaction matrix elements. The interpolated matrix elements can accurately reproduce those computed directly without interpolation and the approach can significantly speed up calculations ofe –d relaxation times and defect-limited charge transport. We show example calculations of neutral vacancy defects in silicon and copper, for which we compute thee –d relaxation times on fine uniform and random Brillouin zone grids (and for copper, directly on the Fermi surface), as well as the defect-limited resistivity at low temperature. Our interpolation approach opens doors for atomistic calculations of charge carrier dynamics in the presence of defects. -
Abstract The earlier integration of validated Lennard–Jones (LJ) potentials for 8 fcc metals into materials and biomolecular force fields has advanced multiple research fields, for example, metal–electrolyte interfaces, recognition of biomolecules, colloidal assembly of metal nanostructures, alloys, and catalysis. Here we introduce 12-6 and 9-6 LJ parameters for classical all-atom simulations of 10 further fcc metals (Ac, Ca (α), Ce (γ), Es (β), Fe (γ), Ir, Rh, Sr (α), Th (α), Yb (β)) and stainless steel. The parameters reproduce lattice constants, surface energies, water interfacial energies, and interactions with (bio)organic molecules in 0.1 to 5% agreement with experiment, as well as qualitative mechanical properties under standard conditions. Deviations are reduced up to a factor of one hundred in comparison to earlier Lennard–Jones parameters, embedded atom models, and density functional theory. We also explain a quantitative correlation between atomization energies from experiments and surface energies that supports parameter development. The models are computationally very efficient and applicable to an exponential space of alloys. Compatibility with a wide range of force fields such as the Interface force field (IFF), AMBER, CHARMM, COMPASS, CVFF, DREIDING, OPLS-AA, and PCFF enables reliable simulations of nanostructures up to millions of atoms and microsecond time scales.

Abstract Single-layer MoS2is a direct-gap semiconductor whose band edges character is dominated by the d-orbitals of the Mo atoms. It follows that substitutional doping of the Mo atoms has a significant impact on the material’s electronic properties, namely the size of the band gap and the position of the Fermi level. Here, density functional theory is used along with the G0W0method to examine the effects of substituting Mo with four different transition metal dopants: Nb, Tc, Ta, and Re. Nb and Ta possess one less valence electron than Mo does and are therefore p-type dopants, while Re and Tc are n-type dopants, having one more valence electron than Mo has. Four types of substitutional structures are considered for each dopant species: isolated atoms, lines, three-atom clusters centered on a S atom (c3s), and three-atom clusters centered on a hole (c3h). The c3h structure is found to be the most stable configuration for all dopant species. However, electronic structure calculations reveal that isolated dopants are preferable for efficient n- or p-type performance. Lastly, it is shown that photoluminescence measurements can provide valuable insight into the atomic structure of the doped material. Understanding these properties of substitutionally-doped MoS2can allow for its successfulmore »

Abstract Iron diantimonide is a material with the highest known thermoelectric power. By combining scanning transmission electron microscopic study with electronic transport neutron, X-ray scattering, and first principle calculation, we identify atomic defects that control colossal thermopower magnitude and nanoprecipitate clusters with Sb vacancy ordering, which induce additional phonon scattering and substantially reduce thermal conductivity. Defects are found to cause rather weak but important monoclinic distortion of the unit cell
P n n m →P m . The absence of Sb along [010] for high defect concentration forms conducting path due to Fed orbital overlap. The connection between atomic defect anisotropy and colossal thermopower in FeSb2paves the way for the understanding and tailoring of giant thermopower in related materials.
