This work is focused on ab initio study of magnetism in three different materials, high entropy alloy CoCrNi, pure alpha-Mn and intermetallic compound YMn2. Ab initio methods allow for easy access to materials properties without the need for experimental measurements. All ab initio calculations in this work were done using the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) and the projector augmented waves (PAW) method while the molecular dynamics simulations were done in the program LAMMPS in combination with the GRACE universal machine learned potential. This work employed the ab initio methods to describe the effect of short-range order on magnetic moments, charge transfer and the phase stability in CoCrNi alloy. Some of these results were compared to one of the universal machine learned potential to parse its performance. The relative phase stability was further evaluated by the molecular dynamics simulation to obtain its temperature dependence. Furthermore, different possible magnetic arrangements in the intermetallic compound YMn2 were calculated in order to find the ground state magnetic arrangements. After successfully obtaining the complicated magnetic structure of pure Mn by metaGGA functional, the same functional was used on YMn2 as well in order to obtain experimental magnetic structures.

Process of defence
Disertační práce přináší řadu originálních a zajímavých výsledků studia magnetismu ve slitině s vysokou entropií CoCrNi a v intermetalické fázi YMn2 za pomocí ab initio metod. Tyto výsledky jsou dále rozšířeny o data z meziatomových potenciálů získaných pomocí strojového učení. Aktuálnost a dostatečnou vědeckou úroveň práce dokládají i 3 impaktované publikace, na jejichž vzniku se Ing. Papež podílel a které byly ke dni obhajoby 29x citované.
