The biocompatibility of NiTi shape memory alloys (SMA) has made possible applications in
self-expandable cardio-vascular stents, stone extraction baskets, catheter guide wires and …

Fast Li+ solid ion conductors are a key component of all-solid-state batteries, a technology
currently under development. The possible use of metallic lithium as active material in solid …

We investigate the interaction of hydrogen with the B2 TiFe (001) and (110) surfaces using
the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The changes in the …

Hydrogen in the solid state compounds is still considered as a safe method of energy
storage. The ultimate metal hydrides or other materials that can be used for this purpose …

The biocompatibility of NiTi shape memory alloys (SMA) has made possible applications in
invasive and minimally invasive biomedical devices. The NiTi intermetallic alloy …

The formation of the passive oxide surface layer accounts for the superior biocompatibility of
NiTi alloy based implant materials. However, the usage NiTi alloy is limited by the long-term …

Systematic first-principles calculations of hydrogen adsorption on two surfaces (001) and
(110) of B 2 titanium alloys with inclusion of complete relaxation of the system are performed …

The electronic structure of Pd-covered TiFe (0 0 1) surface was studied using the full-
potential linearized augmented plane wave method with local density approximation for the …

The electronic band structure of ideal Pt (111) surface was studied using density functional
theory and the empirical tight-binding method. A detailed discussion of the surface-and …

We present a self-consistent calculation of the electronic structure for the (110) surface of
equiatomic XTi (X= Fe, Co, and Ni) alloys in the B2 (CsCl) structure. The results were …
