MAELAS is a computer program for the calculation of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy, anisotropic magnetostrictive coefficients and magnetoelastic constants in an automated way. The method originally implemented in version 1.0 of MAELAS was based on the length optimization of the unit cell, proposed by Wu and Freeman, to calculate the anisotropic magnetostrictive coefficients. We present here a revised and updated version (v2.0) of MAELAS, where we added a new methodology to compute anisotropic magnetoelastic constants from a linear fitting of the energy versus applied strain. We analyze and compare the accuracy of both methods showing that the new approach is more reliable and robust than the one implemented in version 1.0, especially for non-cubic crystal symmetries. This analysis also help us to find that the accuracy of the method implemented in version 1.0 could be improved by using deformation gradients derived from the equilibrium magnetoelastic strain tensor, as well as potential future alternative methods like the strain optimization method. Additionally, we clarify the role of the demagnetized state in the fractional change in length, and derive the expression for saturation magnetostriction for polycrystals with trigonal, tetragonal and orthorhombic crystal symmetry. In this new version, we also fix some issues related to trigonal crystal symmetry found in version 1.0.

In this work, we present the program MAELAS to calculate magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy, anisotropic magnetostrictive coefficients and magnetoelastic constants in an automated way by Density Functional Theory calculations. The program is based on the length optimization of the unit cell proposed by Wu and Freeman to calculate the magnetostrictive coefficients for cubic crystals. In addition to cubic crystals, this method is also implemented and generalized for other types of crystals that may be of interest in the study of magnetostrictive materials. As a benchmark, some tests are shown for well-known magnetic materials.

The structural, elastic, magnetic properties, as well as electronic structure and chemical bonding picture of new oxide 3d1-perovskite BaVO3, recently synthesized, were systematically investigated involving the first-principles FLAPW-GGA calculations . The obtained results are discussed in comparison with available experimental data, as well as with those obtained before for isostructural and isoelectronic SrVO3 perovskite.
We have analysed structural motifs in the Deem database of hypothetical zeolites, to investigate whether the structural diversity found in this database can be well-represented by classical descriptors such as distances, angles, and ring sizes, or wh ether a more general representation of atomic structure, furnished by the smooth overlap of atomic positions (SOAP) method, is required to capture accurately structure-property relations. We assessed the quality of each descriptor by machine-learning the molar energy and volume for each hypothetical framework in the dataset. We have found that SOAP with a cutoff-length of 6 AA, which goes beyond near-neighbor tetrahedra, best describes the structural diversity in the Deem database by capturing relevant inter-atomic correlations. Kernel principal component analysis shows that SOAP maintains its superior performance even when reducing its dimensionality to those of the classical descriptors, and that the first three kernel principal components capture the main variability in the data set, allowing a 3D point cloud visualization of local environments in the Deem database. This ``cloud atlas of local environments was found to show good correlations with the contribution of a given motif to the density and stability of its parent framework. Local volume and energy maps constructed from the SOAP/machine-learning analyses provide new images of zeolites that reveal smooth variations of local volumes and energies across a given framework, and correlations between local volume and energy in a given framework.
In this paper we calculated the elastic constants of $gamma Ce$. The calculations were performed self-consistently using the full potential augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-APW+lo) method. We used the generalized gradient approximation (GG A) to calculate the exchange-correlation energy. The elastic constants were obtained from the second order derivatives of energy with respect to lattice parameters. In this work we introduced a method to impose a deformation to the primary structure to simplify our calculations changing an fcc structure to bct.
Using high resolution neutron diffraction and capacitance dilatometry we show that the thermal evolution of the helimagnetic state in CoMnSi is accompanied by a change in inter-atomic distances of up to 2%, the largest ever found in a metallic magnet . Our results and the picture of competing exchange and strongly anisotropic thermal expansion that we use to understand them sheds light on a new mechanism for large magnetoelastic effects that does not require large spin-orbit coupling.
