Abstract:By means of electronic structure computation methods based on density functional theory, we investigated some properties of the intermetallic compounds R 2 Ni 2 In (R ¼ La, Ce, Pr, Nd). We studied the hydrogen atom occupancy in the La 2 Ni 2 In intermetallic and we found that the available interstitial sites for hydrogen occupation can be clearly differentiated by the hydrogen site energy. Hydrogen atoms are stabilized by the NiAH bonding interaction. This result indicates that the formation of a solid solutio… Show more
