| Description | This computational research aims to investigate the structure and properties of promising novel nanocomposites formed by intermetallic compounds, such as various and selected Ti-, Fe-, Ni- and Albased compounds, which may elucidate potential technological foundations for a variety of engineering innovations and transition-metal nitrides. The central topic of our work is a detailed investigation of interfaces in these intermetallic nanocomposites which are decisive for their technologically important properties. We consider both the “clean” interfaces as well as the effect of segregated impurities and vacancies, which has been studied very little or not at all. The prime objectives of this project are to deliver a deeper understanding of structural and mechanical properties of intermetallic nanocomposites (such as strength, elastic moduli and stability), provide a solid theoretical basis for interpretation of corresponding experimental data, contribute to the design of new advanced materials and, in this way, foster a system of innovation comprising basic and engineering research. |
