Abstract
This article is dedicated to the estimation of the relative stability for B2, B19` and Cm phase in ZrCu intermetallic compound through the ab-initio electronic structure calculations and subsequent crystal structure Rietveld refinement. The information about electronic and crystal structure of phases in ZrCu will allow selecting for this high temperature shape memory alloy such alloying elements that will significantly improve shape memory behavior through definite structural changes.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
