We present an efficient and accurate method for calculating electronic structure and related properties of random alloys with a proper treatment of local environment effects. The method is a generalization of the locally self-consistent Greens function (LSGF) technique for the exact muffin-tin orbital (EMTO) method. An alloy system in the calculations is represented by a supercell with a certain set of atomic distribution correlation functions. The Greens function for each atom in the supercell is obtained by embedding the cluster of neighboring atoms lying within a local interaction zone (LIZ) into an effective medium and solving the cluster Dyson equation exactly. The key ingredients of the method are locality, which makes it linearly scaling with the number of atoms in the supercell, and coherent-potential self-consistency of the effective medium, which results in a fast convergence of the electronic structure with respect to the LIZ size. To test the performance and accuracy of the method, we apply it to two systems: Fe-rich bcc-FeCr random alloy with and without a short-range order, and a Cr-impurity on the Fe surface. Both cases demonstrate the importance of taking into account the local environment effects for correct description of magnetic and bulk properties.
High-temperature alloy design requires a concurrent consideration of multiple mechanisms at different length scales. We propose a workflow that couples highly relevant physics into machine learning (ML) to predict properties of complex high-temperatu
We present a density functional theory (DFT) based supercell approach for modeling small polarons with proper account for the long-range elastic response of the material. Our analysis of the supercell dependence of the polaron properties (e.g., atomi
We present the results of ab initio modeling of structure of dilute Ti-Fe, a typical representative of quenched Ti-based transition-metal alloys. We have demonstrated that beyond the solubility limit this alloy cannot be described in common terms of
We present results on the identification of phase transitions in ferrimagnetic GdFeCo alloys using machine learning. The approach for finding phase transitions in the system is based on the `learning by confusion scheme, which allows one to character
Although of practical importance, there is no established modeling framework to accurately predict high-temperature cyclic oxidation kinetics of multi-component alloys due to the inherent complexity. We present a data analytics approach to predict th
