Ab initio calculation of lattice dynamics in FePd intermetallics
1Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Guwahati-781039, India.
Abstract:
The lattice dynamics of FePd and FePd(3) intermetallics have been investigated using an ab initio electronic structure method. The phonon dispersions and the contribution of each of the components to each branch of dispersion for three symmetry directions, along with the phonon densities of states, are calculated and compared with experiments. The force constants between various pairs of atoms in these intermetallics are obtained from first-principles calculations and the results are discussed based upon analysis of these data. A possible route to obtain force constants for disordered alloys from the intermetallics results is also discussed.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
