| Abstract |
First Principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and the pseudopotential method have been used to study B2-structured RuAl. Formation and energies of points defects in RuAl intermetallic compound are computed by the ab initio pseudopotential method with the plane-wave basis set and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The bulk moduls is also calculated and the deformation under applied pressure. The results are in good agreement with available experimental data. |
