The Pseudopotential Approach within Density-Functional Theory: The Case of Atomic Metallic Hydrogen
Internal energies, enthalpies, phonon dispersion curves, and superconductivity of atomic metallic hydrogen are calculated. The standard use of pseudopotentials in density-functional theory are compared with full Coulomb-potential, all-electron linear muffin-tin orbital calculations. Quantitatively similar results are found as far as internal energies are concerned. Larger differences are found for phase-transition pressures; significant enough to affect the phase diagram. Electron–phonon spectral functions also show significant differences. Against expectation, the estimated superconducting critical-temperature T of the first atomic metallic phase I4/amd (Cs-IV) at 500 GPa is actually higher.- 13 November 2020

Effect of Surface Roughness on Hydrogen-Induced Blister Behavior in Pure Iron
The effect of surface roughness on hydrogen-induced blister behavior in pure iron was explored using optical microscopy and microcomputerized tomography. Hydrogen was introduced into the samples by electrochemical precharging methods with various hydrogen charging times. It is found that grinded surface exhibits higher roughness and compressive residual stress compared to those of polished surface. With increasing hydrogen charging time, hydrogen-induced blister height, blister width and blister area fraction increase, regardless of the grinded surface and polished surface. Further, hydrogen blister height and width of grinded surface are comparative to polished surface under the same hydrogen charging time. However, the blister area fraction and the number of blister on polished surface are considerably higher than the grinded surface, indicating that polished surface is more susceptible to the formation of blisters than that of grinded surface, both of surface and interior of the samples. This is dominantly rationalized in terms of the suppression effect of hydrogen invasion in grinded surfaces due to their higher residual compressive stress and higher dislocation density.

Theoretical study of the pressure-induced structure, phase transition, mechanical and electronic properties in the V-N system
Stable compounds in the V-N system are systematically searched and four new high-pressure phases are found, including C2/m-V$_9$N, Pbam-V$_5$N$_2$, Pnma-V$_2$N and I4/mcm-VN$_2$. V$_2$N undergoes a phase transition from $\varepsilon$-Fe$_2$N-type V$_2$N (P$\bar{3}$1m) to $\zeta$-Fe$_2$N-type V$_2$N (Pbcn) at 10 GPa and to Fe$_2$C-type V$_2$N (Pnnm) at 59 GPa, then to Pnma-V$_2$N at 96 GPa. Low-temperature tetragonal VN is theoretically proved to belong to space group P$\bar{4}$2m. The estimated Vickers hardnesses and fracture toughness of WC-type VN are around 37 GPa and 4.3-6.1 MPa m$^{1/2}$, respectively. Al$_2$Cu-type VN$_2$ (I4/mcm) with a Vickers hardness of 25-27 GPa and fracture toughness of 3.6-6.6 MPa m$^{1/2}$ also shows excellent mechanical properties. Elastic properties of WC-type mononitrides of transition metals from IVB group (Ti, Zr and Hf), VB group (V, Nb and Ta) and VIB (Cr, Mo and W) are calculated and compared. Both the bond strength and structural configuration determine the mechanical properties of a material.Open AccessTheoretical study of the pressure-induced structure, phase transition, mechanical and electronic properties in the V-N system
