The AFLOW library of crystallographic prototypes: Part 4

Journal Article Computational Materials Science · May 1, 2024 The AFLOW Library of Crystallographic Prototypes has been updated to include an additional 683 entries, which now reaches 1,783 prototypes. We have also made some changes to the presentation of the entries, including a more consistent definition of the AFL ... Full text Cite

Disordered enthalpy-entropy descriptor for high-entropy ceramics discovery.

Journal Article Nature · January 2024 The need for improved functionalities in extreme environments is fuelling interest in high-entropy ceramics1-3. Except for the computational discovery of high-entropy carbides, performed with the entropy-forming-ability descriptor4, m ... Full text Cite

Tight-binding method in electronic structure

Chapter · January 1, 2024 The Slater-Koster (SK) method was originally developed as a technique for interpolating first-principles energy bands from a limited number of k-points to a large one, for the purpose of accurately determining Fermi surfaces and densities of states.
