The elastic properties of rutile transition metal dioxides XO$_{2}$ (X=Ru, Rh, Os, and Ir) are investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Youngs modulus as well as Possion ratio are given. OsO$_2$ and IrO$_2$ show strong incompressibility. The hardness estimated for these dioxides shows that they are not superhard solids. The obtained Debye temperatures are comparative to those of transition metal dinitrides or diborides.

The kinetics of hydrogen absorption by magnesium bulk is affected by two main activated processes: the dissociation of the H$_2$ molecule and the diffusion of atomic H into the bulk. In order to have fast absorption kinetics both activated processed need to have a low barrier. Here we report a systematic ab-initio density functional theory investigation of H$_2$ dissociation and subsequent atomic H diffusion on TM(=Ti,V,Zr,Fe,Ru,Co,Rh,Ni,Pd,Cu,Ag)-doped Mg(0001) surfaces. The calculations show that doping the surface with TMs on the left of the periodic table eliminates the barrier for the dissociation of the molecule, but the H atoms bind very strongly to the TM, therefore hindering diffusion. Conversely, TMs on the right of the periodic table dont bind H, however, they do not reduce the barrier to dissociate H$_2$ significantly. Our results show that Fe, Ni and Rh, and to some extent Co and Pd, are all exceptions, combining low activation barriers for both processes, with Ni being the best possible choice.
We investigated the electronic structures of the two-dimensional layered perovskite Sr$_{2}$textit{M}O$_{4}$ (textit{M}=4textit{d} Ru, 4textit{d} Rh, and 5textit{d} Ir) using optical spectroscopy and polarization-dependent O 1textit{s} x-ray absorpti on spectroscopy. While the ground states of the series of compounds are rather different, their optical conductivity spectra $sigma(omega)$ exhibit similar interband transitions, indicative of the common electronic structures of the 4textit{d} and 5textit{d} layered oxides. The energy splittings between the two $e_{g}$ orbitals, $i.e.$, $d_{3z^{2}-r^{2}}$ and $d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$, are about 2 eV, which is much larger than those in the pseudocubic and 3textit{d} layered perovskite oxides. The electronic properties of the Sr$_{2}$textit{M}O$_{4}$ compounds are discussed in terms of the crystal structure and the extended character of the 4textit{d} and 5textit{d} orbitals.
We report thermoelectric properties of Ir$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$Te$_2$ ($0 leqslant x leqslant 0.3$) alloy series where superconductivity at low temperatures emerges as the high-temperature structural transition ($T_s$) is suppressed. The isovalent ionic subs titution of Rh into Ir has different effects on physical properties when compared to the anionic substitution of Se into Te, in which the structural transition is more stable with Se substitution. Rh substitution results in a slight reduction of lattice parameters and in an increase of number of carriers per unit cell. Weak-coupled BCS superconductivity in Ir$_{0.8}$Rh$_{0.2}$Te$_2$ that emerges at low temperature ($T_c^{zero}$ = 2.45 K) is most likely driven by electron-phonon coupling rather than dimer fluctuations mediated pairing.
Magneto-optical Kerr effect, normally found in magnetic materials with nonzero magnetization such as ferromagnets and ferrimagnets, has been known for more than a century. Here, using first-principles density functional theory, we demonstrate large m agneto-optical Kerr effect in high temperature noncollinear antiferromagnets Mn$_{3}X$ ($X$ = Rh, Ir, or Pt), in contrast to usual wisdom. The calculated Kerr rotation angles are large, being comparable to that of transition metal magnets such as bcc Fe. The large Kerr rotation angles and ellipticities are found to originate from the lifting of the band double-degeneracy due to the absence of spatial symmetry in the Mn$_{3}X$ noncollinear antiferromagnets which together with the time-reversal symmetry would preserve the Kramers theorem. Our results indicate that Mn$_{3}X$ would provide a rare material platform for exploration of subtle magneto-optical phenomena in noncollinear magnetic materials without net magnetization.
We performed systematic studies of the combined effects of annealing/quenching temperature ({itshape T}$_{A/Q}$) and T = Ni, Rh substitution ({itshape x}) on the physical properties of Ca(Fe$_{1-x}$T$_{x}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$. We constructed two-dimension al, {itshape T}$_{A/Q}$-{itshape x} phase diagrams for the low-temperature states for both substitutions to map out the relations between ground states and compared them with that of Co-substitution. Ni-substitution, which brings one more extra electron per substituted atom and suppresses the {itshape c}-lattice parameter at roughly the same rate as Co-substitution, leads to a similar parameter range of antiferromagnetic/orthorhombic in the {itshape T}$_{A/Q}$-{itshape x} space as that found for Co-substitution, but has the parameter range for superconductivity shrunk (roughly by a factor of two). This result is similar to what is found when Co- and Ni-substituted BaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ are compared. On the other hand, Rh-substitution, which brings the same amount of extra electrons as does Co-substitution, but suppresses the {itshape c}-lattice parameter more rapidly, has a different phase diagram. The collapsed tetragonal phase exists much more pervasively, to the exclusion of the normal, paramagnetic, tetragonal phase. The range of antiferromagnetic/orthorhombic phase space is noticeably reduced, and the superconducting region is substantially suppressed, essentially truncated by the collapsed tetragonal phase. In addition, we found that whereas for Co-substitution there was no difference between phase diagrams for samples annealed for one or seven days, for Ni- and Rh- substitutions a second, reversible, effect of annealing was revealed by seven-day anneals.
