All DFT calculations were performed with VASP [1] version 5.3.3, using the PBE exchange-correlation functional [2] and PAW potentials [3] generated by Kresse and Joubert [4]. POTCAR versions Fe: PAW_PBE Fe 06Sep2000 Al: PAW_PBE Al 04Jan2001 B: PAW_PBE B 06Sep2000 Cu: PAW_PBE Cu 22Jun2005 Mn: PAW_PBE Mn 06Sep2000 Si: PAW_PBE Si 05Jan2001 C: PAW_PBE C 08Apr2002 N: PAW_PBE N 08Apr2002 The VASP input files INCAR, KPOINTS, and CONTCAR, and the output files OSZICAR and OUTCAR are contained in HCP-Fe-LatticeParameter-Cij-data.tgz, along with the .csv files and shell scripts that compute the data in these files. The PureFe.csv files contains computed properties of pure hcp Fe. The properties are labeled in the file using the following Tags: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Properties Tags ----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- lattice parameters, a1 and a3 a1, a3 elastic stiffness coefficients, Cij C11, C33, C12, C13, C44, C66 Cij derivatives wrt a1, dCij/da1 dC11da1, dC33da1, dC12da1, dC13da1, dC44da1, dC66da1 Cij derivatives wrt a3, dCij/da3 dC11da3, dC33da3, dC12da3, dC13da3, dC44da3, dC66da3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SoluteEffects.csv file contains computed properties of hcp Fe with solutes. The properties are labeled in the file using the following Tags: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Properties Tags ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- lattice parameter derivatives wrt solute concentration: da1dcs, da3dcs Cij total derivatives wrt solute concentration: dC11dcs, dC33dcs, dC12dcs, dC13dcs, dC44dcs, dC66dcs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The calculations are organized as follow: PureFe.tgz contains the data for the pure hcp Fe lattice parameters, elastic stiffness coefficients Cij, and the Cij derivatives with respect to the lattice parameters. SoluteStrainMisfits.tgz contains the VASP calculations for the solute strain misfit tensor of each solute computed using 4x4x3 (96-atom) supercells. We compute these tensors from the solute-induced stress in the supercells, and validate the accuracy of the values by comparison to fully relaxed supercells for selected solutes. Cij-WithSolutes.tgz contains the VASP calculations for the Cij derivatives with respect to solute concentration for 4x4x3 supercells. We compute separate chemical and strain contributions to these derivatives, and sum them to get the total contribution for each solute. We also compute the derivatives directly using calculations that encompass both contributions. The separate calculations are more computationally efficient and provide more information than the direct calculations. Comparison with the direct calculations for selected solutes validates the accuracy of summing the separate contributions. Running Extract-Data-script.sh after uncompressing the .tgz files (type 'tar -xvf PureFe.tgz' etc.) will regenerate all the the .csv files. References: [1] G. Kresse and J. Furthmuller, Phys. Rev.
