The existence of the miscibility gap in the Cu-Ni system has been an issue in both computational and experimental discussions for half a century [Chakrabarti et al., Phase diagrams of binary nickel alloys, ASM, 1991]. Here we propose a new miscibility gap in the Cu-Ni system measured in nano-layered thin films by Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometry. The maximum of the symmetrical miscibility curve is around 800~K at Cu50%Ni50%. To our best knowledge, this is the first experiment determining the miscibility from the measurement of the atomic fraction of Copper and Nickel in the whole composition range. Needless to say that Ni, Cu and its alloys are important in various fields, accordingly this result affects different areas to understand materials sciences.

We present ab-initio calculations of the electronic structure of small Fe clusters (1-9 atoms) on Ni(001), Ni(111), Cu(001) and Cu(111) surfaces. Emphasis is given on the spin moments, and their dependence on cluster size and shape. We derive a simpl
e quantitative rule, which relates the moment of each Fe atom linearly to its coordination number. Thus, for an arbitrary Fe cluster the spin moment of the cluster and of the individual Fe atoms can be readily found if the positions of the atoms are known.
In this paper, we study the elastic properties of the entropy-stabilized oxide (Mg, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)O, using experimental and first principles techniques. Our measurements of the indentation modulus on grains with a wide range of crystallographic orie
ntations of the entropy-stabilized oxide revealed a high degree of elastic isotropy at ambient conditions. First principles calculations predict mild elastic anisotropy for the paramagnetic structure, which decreases when the system is considered to be non-magnetic. When the antiferromagnetic state of CoO, CuO and NiO is accounted for in the calculations, a slight increase in the elastic anisotropy is observed, suggesting a coupling between magnetic ordering and the orientation dependent elastic properties. Furthermore, an examination of the local structure reveals that the isotropy is favored through local ionic distortions of Cu and Zn - due to their tendency to form tenorite and wurtzite phases. The relationships between the elastic properties of the multicomponent oxide and those of its constituent binary oxides are reviewed. These insights open up new avenues for controlling isotropy for technological applications through tuning composition and structure in the entropy-stabilized oxide or the high entropy compounds in general.
Understanding the nature of the interaction at the graphene/metal interfaces is the basis for graphene-based electron- and spin-transport devices. Here we investigate the hybridization between graphene- and metal-derived electronic states by studying
the changes induced through intercalation of a pseudomorphic monolayer of Cu in between graphene and Ir(111), using scanning tunnelling microscopy and photoelectron spectroscopy in combination with density functional theory calculations. We observe the modifications in the band structure by the intercalation process and its concomitant changes in the charge distribution at the interface. Through a state-selective analysis of band hybridization, we are able to determine their contributions to the valence band of graphene giving rise to the gap opening. Our methodology reveals the mechanisms that are responsible for the modification of the electronic structure of graphene at the Dirac point, and permits to predict the electronic structure of other graphene-metal interfaces.
Magnetic properties of silver(II) compounds have been of interest in recent years. In covalent compounds, the main mechanism of interaction between paramagnetic sites is the superexchange via the connecting ligand. To date, little is known of magneti
c interactions between Ag(II) cations and other paramagnetic centres. It is because only a few compounds bearing Ag(II) cation and other paramagnetic transition metal cation are known experimentally. Recently the high-pressure synthesis of ternary silver(II) fluorides with 3d metal cations AgMF4 (M = Co, Ni, Cu) was predicted to be feasible. Here, we investigate the magnetic properties of these compounds in their diverse polymorphic forms. Using well established computational methods we predict superexchange pathways in AgMF4, evaluate coupling constants and calculate the impact of Ag(II) presence on superexchange between the other cations. The results indicate that the low-pressure form of AgCuF4, the only composed of stacked layers as the parent AgF2, would hold mainly Ag-Ag and Cu-Cu superexchange interactions. Upon compression, or with the nickel(II) cation, the Ag-M interactions in AgMF4 intensify, which is emphasized by an increase of Ag-M superexchange coupling constants and Ag-F-M angles. All the strongest Ag-M superexchange pathways are quasi-linear, leading to the formation of antiferromagnetic chains along the crystallographic directions. The impact of Ag(II) on M-M superexchange turns out to be moderate, due to factors connected to the crystal structure.
The quasiparticle band structures of 3d transition metals, ferromagnetic Fe, Ni and paramagnetic Cu, are calculated by the GW approximation. The width of occupied 3d valence band, which is overestimated in the LSDA, is in good agreement with experime
ntal observation. However the exchange splitting and satellite in spectra are not reproduced and it is required to go beyond the GW approximation. The effects of static screening and dynamical correlation are discussed in detail in comparison with the results of the static COHSEX approximation. The dynamical screening effects are important for band width narrowing.
