Electronic properties of austenite and martensite Fe-9%Mn alloys

Abstract

We calculate the electronic properties of austenite and martensite Fe-9%Mn alloys using the self consistent full-potential linearized-plane-wave method under the generalized gradient approximation full lattice relaxation. By minimizing total-energy, the lattice constants in their ground states were determined. We discuss the total energy dependence of the volume, and density of states (DOS). © Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2008.
