   Abstract:
   Predicting and characterizing the crystal structure of materials is a key problem in materials research and development. We report the results of ab initio LDA/GGA computations for the following systems: AgAu, AgCd, AgMg, AgMo^*, AgNa, AgNb^*, AgPd, AgRh ^*, AgRu^*, AgTc^*, AgTi, AgY, AgZr, AlSc, AuCd, AuMo^*, AuNb, AuPd, AuPt^*, AuRh^*, AuRu^*, AuSc, AuTc^*, AuTi, AuY, AuZr, CdMo^*, CdNb^*, CdPd, CdPt, CdRh, CdRu^*, CdTc^*, CdTi, CdY, CdZr, CrMg ^*, MoNb, MoPd, MoPt, MoRh, MoRu, MoTc^*, MoTi, MoY ^*, MoZr, NbPd, NbPt, NbRh, NbRu, NbTc, NbY ^*, NbZr^*, PdPt, PdRh^*, PdRu^*, PdTc, PdTi, PdY, PdZr, PtRh, PtRu, PtY, PtTc, PtTi, PtZr, RhRu, RhTc, RhTi, RhY, RhZr, RuTi, RuTc, RuY, RuZr, TcTi, TcY, TcZr, TiZr^*, Y Zr^* (^*= systems in which the ab initio method predicts that no compounds are stable). A detailed comparison to experimental data confirms the high accuracy with which ab initio methods can predict ground states. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
