  • Cobalt subtitution on NiSi is investigated by using an ab-initio calculation. Firstly, a relaxed NiSi structure is calculated and the calculated lattice parameters are compared with experimentally determined lattice parameters. The calculated values are smaller than the experimental values by about 2%. As the calculation is based on 0 K, and the experimental measurement is performed at room temperature, those values are in good agreement. Next, a Co atom substitutes a Ni and Si site, respectively, to evaluate the preferable site between them. Co prefers Ni site to Si site. The calculated total energy also indicates that the Co substitution to Ni site stabilizes the NiSi structure. Therefore, the thermal stability of NiSi with Co addition can be achieved by the structure stabilization of NiSi by Co substitution into Ni site of NiSi.

  • Effect of Pd addition on crystal structures of two nickel silicides, NiSi and $NiSi_2$, is investigated by using an ab initio calculation. A Pd atom substitutes a Ni and Si site, respectively, to evaluate the preferable site between them. Pd prefers Ni site to Si site in NiSi, while it prefers Si site to Ni site in $NiSi_2$. The calculated total energy also indicates that the Pd substitution to Si site stabilizes the $NiSi_2$ structure. This calculated data matches well with the experimental data obtained from Atom probe.

  • The parameters for an empirical net atomic charge calculation method, Modified Partial Equalization of Orbital Electronegativity (MPEOE), were determined for the atoms in organosilicon compounds and zeolites. For the organosilicon family, the empirical parameters were determined by introducing both experimental and ab initio observables as constraints, these are the experimental and ab initio dipole moments, and the ab initio electrostatic potential of the organosilicon molecules. The Mulliken population was also introduced though it is not a quantum mechanical observable. For the parameter optimization of the atoms in the aluminosilicates, the dipole moments and the electrostatic potentials which calculated from the 6-31G** ab initio wave function were used as constraints. The empirically calculated atomic charges of the organosilicons could reproduce both the experimental and the ab inito dipole moments well. The empirical atomic charges of the aluminosilicates could reproduce the ab initio electrostatic potentials well also.

  • Molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of the thiazole, relevant to the binding of lexitroposin that contains thiazole ring to the base pair of minor groove of DNA is obtained from the results of ab initio calculation. The geometry optimization for the two possible conformations of protonated thiazoles is performed with the aid of MNDO and ab initio calculations. The proton affinities are calculated at the 6-31G and 6-31G basis set for the optimized geometry. The proton affinities are also studied for various substituted thiazoles with the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups to estimate substituent effect on the proton affinity of thiazoles. It is found that the thiazole with nitrogen atom aligned inward to the DNA minor groove exhibit higher proton affinity and electron-donating substituents increase the proton affinity of thiazoles.ĀȀꃏ?⨀缾ĀȀ會ĀȀ?⨀ꖓĀĀȀ會ĀȀ僐?⨀聥ꖓĀĀȀ會ĀȀ꣐?⨀聐缾ĀȀ會ĀȀÑ?⨀ၑ缾ĀȀ會ĀȀ壑?⨀ꁑ缾ᨀĀꀏ會Āꀏ냑?⨀⡒缾᐀Āꀏ會Āꀏ࣒?⨀끒缾ᰀĀꀏ會Āꀏ惒?⨀ꁩꖓȀĀꀏ會Āꀏ룒?⨀⡪ꖓሀĀꀏ會Āꀏდ?⨀ᤐ돀삺?⨀塨?⨀飣?⨀돐룣?⨀偠잖⨀샣?⨀줏덐탣?⨀젏ꠏܞȌ蠀ᥲ⴯ͧMolecua及컲ࡔȏᰗۊऀںMolecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of the thiazole, relevant to the binding of lexitroposin that contains thiazole ring to the base pair of minor groove of DNA is obtained from the results of ab initio calculation.

  • Ab initio calculation is performed to estimate the substituent effects for Para-substituted pyridines. Electrostatic potentials are obtained from ab initio molecular orbital wavefunctions of optimized structures for substituted pyridines. Electrostatic potentials are computed to be minimum at nitrogen atom of pyridines. The potential minima are good correlated with the substituent constants, ${\sigma}_p$ and with the ${\Delta}pKa$. It is shown that the electrostatic potential minima can be used as a measure of substituent effects.

  • Effect of Co substitution on crystal structures of two nickel silicides, NiSi and $NiSi_2$, is investigated by using an ab initio calculation. Relaxed NiSi and $NiSi_2$ structures are calculated and the calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with experimentally determined lattice parameters within about 2%. A Co atom substitutes a Ni and Si site, respectively, to evaluate the preferable site between them. Co prefers Ni site to Si site in both NiSi and $NiSi_2$. The calculated total energy also indicates that the Co substitution to Ni site stabilizes both the NiSi and $NiSi_2$ structures. Co also prefers Ni site in $NiSi_2$ to that in NiSi, indicating that $NiSi_2$ becomes more stable than NiSi with Co substitution. As Co addition to NiSi improves its thermal stability experimentally, this indicates that the energy barrier between the two phases is high enough to prevent the phase transformation from NiSi to $NiSi_2$ up to high temperature.

  • High-strength low-alloy steel is one of the widely used materials in onshore and offshore plant engineering. We investigated the alloying effect of solute atoms in α-Fe based alloy using ab initio calculations. Empirical equations were used to establish the effect of alloying on the Vicker's hardness, screw energy coefficient, and edge dislocation energy coefficient of the steel. Screw and edge energy coefficients were improved by the addition of V and Cr solute atoms. In addition, the addition of trace quantities of V, Cr, and Mn enhanced abrasion resistance. Solute atoms and contents with excellent mechanical properties were selected and their thermal conductivity and thermal expansion behavior were investigated. The addition of Cr atom is expected to form alloys with low thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient. This study provides a better understanding of the state-of-the-art research in low-alloy steel and can be used to guide researchers to explore and develop α-Fe based alloys with improved properties, that can be fabricated in smart and cost-effective manners.
