A first-principles study of B2 NiAl alloyed with rare earth element Pr, Pm, Sm, and Eu

The structural, elastic, and electronic properties of NiAl alloyed with rare earth elements Pr, Pm, Sm, and Eu are investigated by using density functional theory (DFT). The study suggests that Pr, Pm, Sm, and Eu are all tend to be substituted for Al site. Ni₈Al₇Pm possesses the largest ductility. Only the hardness and ductility of Ni₈Al₇Eu are enhanced simultaneously. The covalency strength of Ni-Al bond in Ni₈Al₇Pm is higher than that in Ni₈Al₇Eu. The covalency strength of Al-Al bond and that of Ni-Ni bond in Ni₈Al₇Eu are higher than that in Ni₈Al₇Pm. Ni-Pm bond and Ni-Eu bond are covalent, and the covalency strength of Ni-Pm bond is greater. Al-Pm bond and Al-Eu bond show great covalency strength and ionicity, respectively.

杂质对吸附系统O/RhxPt1-x衬底、合金(110)表面偏析的影响

构造了考虑吸附与偏析相互作用情况下无序二元合金Rhx Pt1-x(110)吸附氧表面的原子集团模型,其中O的覆盖度为0.5;构造了考虑杂质Ni,Cu,W对合金可能产生影响的吸附表面原子集团模型,杂质的掺入采用替位式.应用recursion方法计算了合金表面的环境敏感镶嵌能和电子结构.环境敏感镶嵌能计算表明杂质Ni,Cu和W均使O吸附RhxPt1-x(110)合金表面偏析情况发生逆转,Ni对Rh-Pt合金偏析的影响最大,其次是Cu,W对合金偏析的影响最小;电子结构计算表明杂质Ni,Ca W存在于合金表面时,使Rh与O的共价相互作用减弱,使表面偏析发生逆转,Pt再次偏析于表面.

碳纳米管增强铝基复合材料电子理论研究

采用自行开发计算机软件，建立了铝晶粒大角度重位点阵晶界模型及碳纳米管与铝金属的界面结构，利用递归法计算了纳米碳管增强铝基复合材料的电子结构参数(铝晶界、铝与纳米管界面及纳米管的结构能，体系费米能级等). 计算结果表明：Σ为5的晶界结构能最低，比较稳定；纳米碳管在铝晶粒的晶界处与铝形成的界面结构能较低，复合材料中纳米碳管主要分布在铝晶粒的晶界处；铝提高纳米碳管的结构能，降低纳米碳管的稳定性，增强碳管的物理化学活性，且管口处的碳原子稳定性较差，易与周围环境中的原子结合生成稳定结构. 关键词： 电子结构 晶界 铝复合材料 纳米管
