Titanium (Ti) exhibits the body-centered crystal structure only at high temperatures. The temperature range of this so-called β-Ti phase can be expanded by alloying Ti with tungsten (W). Rather than placing the W atoms in the β-Ti crystal at random, this work applies density functional theory calculations to explore the consequences of an orderly placement in Ti/W superlattice structures. In all examples the W layer remains bcc-like. The stacking direction of the Ti/W superlattice drives the core of the Ti layer toward either a locally hcp-or ω-Ti structure, though the latter is mechanically unstable for all but the thinnest W layers. The relative thicknesses of the W and Ti layers as well as the stacking direction influence the formation energies, which consistently fall within a range corresponding roughly to room temperature. Superlattices allow a choice of stacking direction and layer thicknesses; both strongly influencing the material's strength, though not improving the mechanical properties as observed for Ti with randomly placed W particles.
