Electronic structure Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method

Ffom a theoretical point of view, stacking fault energies in metals have been reliably calculated from first-principles with different electronic structure methods [4, 5, 6]. For random alloys, the Layer Korringa Kohn Rostoker method in combination with the coherent potential approximation [7] (LKKR-CPA), was shown to be reliable in the prediction of SFE in fcc-based solid solution [8, 9].
