Thermodynamics of the Ce – transition: Density-functional study
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the Cerium – isostructural phase transition by explicitly incorporating finite temperature mixing of the Ce nonmagnetic and magnetic states. Unique to our approach is the calculation of vibrational properties from phonon theory. The critical behavior of the transition is shown to be controlled by the configurational mixing entropy between the magnetic and nonmagnetic states. Our theoretical framework leads to accurate predictions of the critical point and equation of state associated with the Ce – phase transition.

In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...

The one-third paradigm of PBE0 density functional, PBE0-1/3, has shown to be a successful method for various properties. In this paper, the applicability of PBE0-1/3 is put into broader perspective for transition metals chemistry. As a comparative study, the performance of PBE0 and PBE0-1/3 has been assessed for geometries and vibrational frequencies of some transition metal hydrides and transi...
