The goal of the proposed theoretical research is to advance our fundamental understanding of structure, stability, magnetism and mechanical properties in selected disilicide and ferromagnetic bimetallic nanocomposites which are promising as a basis of future advanced materials. To obtain relevant physical characteristics of nanocomposites (atomic configuration, distribution of magnetic moments, characteristics of various interfaces etc.), we will use state-of-the-art first principles electronic structure methods. Central topic of our work will be investigation both of the “clean” interfaces in bimetallic FePd and FePt and in disilicide MoSi2/WSi2, MoSi2/CrSi2, MoSi2/ZrSi2 and MoSi2/TiSi2 nanocomposites as well as the effect of segregated impurities and vacancies, which has been studied very little or not at all. We expect that our research will contribute to a deeper understanding of structural, mechanical and magnetic properties of nanocomposites and provide a solid theoretical basis for interpretation of corresponding experimental data and for designing of new advanced materials. |
