Effect of ternary addition on ductility of Rh-based intermetallics

The textbook "Effect of Ternary Addition on Ductility of Rh-Based Intermetallics" by Manjula Muthurathinam examines the effects of ternary additions such as titanium, vanadium, niobium, and tantalum on the ductility of rhodium-based intermetallic compounds. Self-consistent band structure calculations are performed for various cubic compounds to analyze their structural, electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties. The work provides a detailed examination of the interactions between the elements and their influence on material properties, which is significant for the development of new materials. The use of the Full Potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method, as implemented in the WIEN2k code, allows for a precise investigation of the properties of these compounds. This book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of materials science and engineering who are engaged with intermetallic compounds and their applications.
