第一性原理对金的高压相变和零温物态方程的计算

在密度泛函理论下，用缀加平面波加局域轨道方法，分别采用广义梯度近似(GGA)和局域密度近似(LDA)对金的面心立方晶格结构(fcc)、体心立方晶格结构(bcc)和六角密堆积结构(hcp)的结构能量进行了计算.在GGA下，计算得出fcc向hcp和hcp向bcc的相变分别发生在380GPa 和1250GPa；而LDA下相变分别发生在490GPa和790GPa.当计算压强达到2TPa时，bcc在这两种近似下仍然保持稳定的结构.根据不同体积下不同结构的电子态密度的特征，对发生相变的物理原因进行了定性的分析，在此基础上得到了金的零温状态方程. 关键词： 缀加平面波方法 固态相变 电子态密度 物态方程     

高压下钒的结构相变研究

运用密度泛函理论研究了钒(Vanadium)在高压下的结构相变。 通过对体心立方(bcc)结构的钒在不同压强下剪切弹性系数C44的计算, 发现当压强约95 GPa时 C44＜0, 说明体心立方结构的钒在此条件下是不稳定的。 进一步计算分析得到钒在高压下发生了从体心立方到菱面体 (Rhombohedral)的结构相变, 相变压强约70 GPa, 这一结果与最近的实验结果符合。 还首次发现当压强约380 GPa时, 将会发生菱面体到体心立方的结构相变, 这有待实验的验证。We have studied the structure phase transition of Vanadium under high pressures by density function theory. A mechanical instability in the shear elastic constant (C44) has been found for body centred cubic(bcc) Vanadium at about 95 GPa, which indicates the existence of the structural transition. By calculation and analysis, we found that there was a bcc rhombohedral structure transition at the 70 GPa, which is consistent with the experiment data. Our calculations also firstly gave that there was a rhombohedral bcc structure transition at about 380 GPa, which needs to be verified by the experiment.

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法, 分别研究了压力作用下Fe从体心立方 (bcc,α 相) 结构到六角密排(hcp, ε相) 结构相变的两种不同的相变机理: 相变过程中出现亚稳定的面心立方(fcc) 结构(bcc-fcc-hcp) , 以及相变过程中没有出现亚稳定的fcc结构(bcc-hcp) . 计算结果表明: 静水压力条件下, 相变过程中并不会产生亚稳定的fcc结构, 这与最近的原位XRD实验测量结果相一致. 随着压力的增加, fcc-hcp的相变势垒逐渐增加, 压力趋向于阻止Fe从fcc结构到hcp结构的相变. 计算得到了相变过程中原子磁性和结构的详细信息, 分析表明相变过程中涉及复杂的磁性转变, 并且讨论了原子磁性对结构转变影响的物理机理. 此外, 对分子动力学模拟中产生亚稳定的fcc结构的原因也进行了讨论. 关键词： 相变机理 静水压力 第一性原理 铁

Pressure induced transitions in calcium: a tight-binding approach

A tight-binding (TB) hamiltonian for calcium is built with a high precision parametrization technique based on density functional calculations of the energy bands and the total energy at various lattice volumes. The new set of TB parameters is appropriate to study phenomena under pressures as high as 20 GPa. Specifically, both the metal to nonmetal transition at 4 GPa and the structural transition fcc to bcc at 19 GPa are well reproduced. These transitions and several static properties are in excellent agreement with experiments. Phonon frequencies, plasmon energy, melting temperature and the coefficient of thermal expansion were calculated with a molecular dynamics scheme of this TB hamiltonian.     

Phase Transition and Melting Curves of Calcium Fluoride via Molecular Dynamics Simulations

The phase transition and melting curves of CaF2 are investigated by using the general utility lattice programme （CULP） via the shell model with molecular dynamics method. By calculating the entropy H （at OK） and Cibbs free energy G^＊ （at 30OK）, we find that the phase transition pressure from the face-centred cubic （fee） structure to the orthorhombic structure is 11.40 CPa and 9.33 CPa at OK and 300K, respectively. The modified melting point of the fee CaF2 is in the range of 1650-1733K at OCPa. All these results are well consistent with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. We also obtain that the melting temperature of high pressure phase is 990-1073 K at 10 CPa. Moreover, the temperature dependences of the elastic constants Cij, bulk module B and shear module G are also predicted.

Electron transport properties of lithium and phase transitions at high pressures

The electric resistivity and thermopower of lithium have been precisely measured at high pressures (up to 8 GPa) and temperatures from room temperature to 100°C. Transition to the fcc phase of lithium has been analyzed. The hysteresis of the direct and inverse transitions is 0.3 GPa at room temperature, decreases slightly with an increase in the temperature, and is almost independent of the prehistory of the sample. The phase transition line on the P-T diagram has a positive slope of dP/dT = 0.03 GPa/K. It is assumed that the fcc phase of lithium, which is stable at a high pressure, can appear for kinetic regions from the 9R phase, which is intermediate in energy between the bcc and fcc modifications.     

Atomistic simulation of fccben bcc phase transition in single crystal Al under uniform compression

By molecular dynamics simulations employing an embedded atom model potential, we investigate the fcc-to-bcc phase transition in single crystal Al, caused by uniform compression. Results show that the fcc structure is unstable when the pressure is over 250 GPa, in reasonable agreement with the calculated value through the density functional theory. The morphology evolution of the structural transition and the corresponding transition mechanism are analysed in detail. The bcc (011) planes are transited from the fcc (111) plane and the (111) plane. We suggest that the transition mechanism consists mainly of compression, shear, slid and rotation of the lattice. In addition, our radial distribution function analysis explicitly indicates the phase transition of Al from fcc phase to bcc structure.

Stability of Ferromagnetism in Fe, Co, and Ni Metals under High Pressure with GGA and GGA+U

The stability of the ferromagnetic state in Fe, Co, and Ni metals under high pressure is investigated using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and GGA+U within the density functional theory (DFT). It is found that the ferromagnetic state under pressure is very different for Fe, Co, and Ni metals, and is closely associated with the crystal structure. In the case of Fe, a ferromagnetic bcc ground state is obtained at ambient pressure and a nonmagnetic hcp ground state is found at pressure around 12 and 115 GPa for GGA and GGA+U, respectively. For Co, the phase transition from a ferromagnetic hcp to a nonmagnetic fcc is found around 107 GPa for GGA. In contrast to Fe and Co, a ferromagnetic fcc state in Ni is maintained even at 200 GPa. The calculated results suggest that the suppression of ferromagnetism in Fe, Co, and Ni is due to pressure-induced decrease of the density of state at the Fermi level.
