The disordered and ordered structures of nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TixOz≡TiOy(y=z/x) containing structural vacancies simultaneously in the nonmetallic and metallic sublattices were studied. In the stoichiometry range from TiO0.9 to TiO1.1, an ordered monoclinic phase [space group C2/m (A12m/1)] of the Ti5O5 type is formed in the TiOy monoxide at temperatures below 1300 K. The disorder-order TiOy?Ti5O5 phase-transition channel involves Lifshitz {k10} and non-Lifshitz {k4} and {k11} star rays. The ordering proceeds as a first-order phase transition with a decrease in the volume of the basal cubic lattice. The titanium and oxygen distribution functions in the metallic and nonmetallic sublattices of titanium monoxide are calculated. The domain of allowed values is determined for the long-range order parameter.  相似文献

A thermodynamic model of ordering of nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TiO y with structural vacancies in the oxygen and titanium sublattices has been developed taking into account the long-range Coulomb interactions. Methods for calculating the internal energy and entropy of this compound have been proposed. The free energy is represented in the form of a function of long-range order parameters, stoichiometry, and temperature. It has been found that the order-disorder phase transition in the titanium monoxide should occur according to the mechanism of a first-order phase transition. The calculated dependences of the critical values of the long-range order parameters and temperatures on the composition y have demonstrated that, when the composition deviates from stoichiometry, the disordering of structural vacancies in different sublattices should proceed at different temperatures.  相似文献

The relationship between the short- and long-range orders in various phases of nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide (TiO y ) has been analyzed for the first time. The types of the local environment of lattice sites in the metal and nonmetal (oxygen) sublattices of Ti5O5, Ti3O2, Ti2O3, and Ti4O5 superstructures are described. It is established that, in phases where ordering takes place simultaneously in both sublattices, all parameters of the superstructural short-range order determining the positions of atoms and vacancies in the first three coordination spheres can be uniquely expressed via the long-range order parameters. If the ordering takes place only in one sublattice, then five of the six short-range order parameters vanish. It is shown that, using data on the maximum absolute values of six short-range order parameters and on the fractions of occupied atomic positions in titanium and oxygen sublattices, it is possible to predict the type of ordered phase expected to form in the nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TiO y .  相似文献

The electronic structure of nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TiO y with different compositions y, which contains structural vacancies either in the metallic sublattice or in the nonmetallic sublattice, has been investigated using the supercell method within the DFT-GGA approximation with pseudopotentials. The cases of ordered and disordered arrangements of vacancies have been considered. It has been found that the complete removal of vacancies from the sublattice is energetically unfavorable, and the ordering of oxygen vacancies according to the type of the Ti6O51 superstructure, as well as titanium vacancies according to the Ti5?1O6 type, does not lead to the stabilization of the B1 basic structure of titanium monoxide.  相似文献

A method for calculating the probabilities of cluster configurations in ordered superstructures of strongly nonstoichiometric compounds depending on the composition and the order parameter is described using the Ti5O5 superstructure of nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TiO y . Analytic expressions are derived for the dependences of the probabilities of the main cluster configurations in the Ti5O5 superstructure on the fraction of atomic positions in the titanium and oxygen sublattices and on the long-range order parameter. The probabilities of configurations are calculated for various long-range order parameters taking into account experimental data on the concentration of structural vacancies in the titanium and oxygen sublattices. The dependences of the probabilities of cluster configurations on the short-range order parameter are established from the relations between the superstructure long-range and short-range order parameters.  相似文献

Local atomic environment of vacancies in nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide ranging in composition from TiO0.74 to TiO1.26 was studied by electron-positron annihilation. Analysis of the Doppler broadening spectra of the annihilation gamma line for titanium and liquid oxygen showed that positrons in titanium monoxide are trapped by titanium vacancies. Experiments revealed that the lifetime of positrons in ordered and disordered titanium monoxide TiO y increases with increasing oxygen content y and varies from 184 to 210 ps. Data on the valence electron density permitted the prediction that the lifetime of free positrons in stoichiometric titanium monoxide is about 140 ps and the lifetime of positrons localized in an oxygen vacancy is about 170 ps. The method used to analyze the gamma-line Doppler broadening spectra makes it possible to determine the type and number of atoms around a vacancy and to investigate order-disorder phase transformations in nonstoichiometric compounds.  相似文献

Symmetry analysis is carried out for the ordered phases of cubic monoxide TiOy with relative oxygen contents y<1 and y>1. It is established that a partially ordered orthorhombic phase (space group Immm)—a derivative of the orthorhombic M3X2□ superstructure (at y<1.0) or the inverse superstructure M2■X3 (at y>1)—may arise in TiOy. The distribution of Ti and O atoms, oxygen vacancies □, and titanium vacancies ■ in unit cells of the orthorhombic ordered phases is determined. The phases are formed through the order-disorder transition channel along two rays of a non-Lifshitz star {k 4}, and the ordering proceeds as a first-order phase transition. The distribution functions of Ti atoms over the sites of metallic and O atoms over the sites of nonmetallic sublattices are calculated for the orthorhombic superstructures of cubic titanium monoxide TiOy.  相似文献

Quantum-mechanical ab initio calculations are used to simulate the free energy functions for titanium monoxide TiO y . The effect of the long-range order of the Ti5O5 type superstructure on the internal energy of the compound is studied by the supercell method. The dependences of the configuration entropy and free energy on the long-range order parameter are determined. It is found that the order-disorder phase transition in titanium monoxide must occur in accordance with the mechanism of the first-order phase transition with a critical value of the long-range order parameter of 0.971. The calculated parameters of the phase transition are compared with the experimental data and the results obtained using the model of point charges and by calculating the Madelung energy. It is concluded that the short-range order and the phonon entropy must be taken into account in calculating the equilibrium phase diagrams for strongly nonstoichiometric compounds.  相似文献

The electronic structure of disordered nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide TiO y depending on the oxygen content has been studied by the supercell method in the DFT-GGA approximation with the use of pseudo-potentials. An increase in the oxygen content in TiO y leads to a decrease in the electron density of states near the Fermi level. The calculation of the enthalpy of formation of the ordered and disordered phases has shown that the disordered phase TiO y is more energetically favorable than the phase without the TiO structural vacancies but is less favorable than the ordered Ti5O5 phase. The stability of the disordered phase increases with the oxygen content.  相似文献

The electronic structure of titanium monoxide TiO y (0.810 ≤ y ≤ 1.262) in the high-temperature cubic phase with vacancies randomly distributed over the titanium and oxygen sublattices is calculated in the coherent potential approximation. The changes in the electronic spectra with the concentration of vacancies are retraced. The calculated spectra are compared to the available experimental data.  相似文献

The conductivity and magnetic susceptibility of disordered titanium monoxide TiOy (0.920≤y≤1.262) containing vacancies in titanium and oxygen sublattices are investigated. For TiOy monoxides with an oxygen content y≤1.069, the temperature dependences of the conductivity are described by the Bloch-Grüneisen function at a Debye temperature ranging from 400 to 480 K and the temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility are characterized by the contribution from the Pauli paramagnetism due to conduction electrons. The behavior of the conductivity and magnetic susceptibility of TiOy monoxides with an oxygen content y≥1.087 is characteristic of narrow-gap semiconductors with nondegenerate charge carriers governed by the Boltzmann statistics. The band gap ΔE between the valence and conduction bands of TiOy monoxides with y≥1.087 falls in the range 0.06–0.17 eV.  相似文献

Structural models of short-range order in the arrangement of structural vacancies have been proposed for stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric compositions of titanium monoxide TiO y . A combined effect of the short-range order and nonstoichiometry on the ground-state energy and the electronic structure of the compound has been investigated using the first-principles methods. The energetically favorable models of short-range order reproduce the local distribution of atoms and vacancies, which is characteristic of the Ti5O5(mon) and Ti5O5(cub) superstructures. In these models, the correlations between the vacancies of the metal sublattice and the vacancies of the nonmetal sublattice make a more significant contribution to the decrease in the energy of the compound as compared with the correlations between the vacancies in only one of the sublattices.  相似文献

The effect of the long-range order in the vacancy distribution according to the type of monoclinic Ti5O5 superstructure on the electronic structure of titanium monoxide TiO y with the stoichiometric composition has been studied by the supercell method within the DFT-GGA approximation with the use of pseudopotentials. It has been established that, in spite of an increase in the Fermi energy, the stability of the compound increases with increasing degree of the long-range order η. The ordering of the structural vacancies leads to the considerable increase in the depth of the pseudogap at the Fermi level. It has been shown that the effect of the long-range order on the electronic structure in the range of η from 0 to 1.0 is much weaker than the effect of the nonstoichiometry of TiO y in the range of y from 0.75 to 1.33.  相似文献

A method has been developed to identify the sublattices of a crystal structure in which there are atomic vacancies. This method is based on determining the chemical environment of vacancies and is implemented using the method of the positron annihilation by measuring the momentum distribution of core electrons. To determine the characteristic momentum distribution of electrons, a special two-detector spectroscopy is used, which ensures measurements of Doppler broadening of the annihilation gamma-ray line with a high (up to 106) signal-to-noise ratio. To test the method, vacancies in irradiated silicon carbide (6H-SiC), sintered nonstoichiometric titanium carbides (TiC y ) and titanium monoxides (TiO y ), and chemically deposited lead and cadmium sulfides (PbS and CdS) have been identified. Vacancies in the carbon and silicon sublattices have been identified in silicon carbide after irradiation by low- and high-energy electrons, respectively. Vacancies in the nonmetal sublattice have been identified in TiC y . Vacancies in the metal sublattice have been identified in TiC y , as well as in PbS and CdS.  相似文献

Structural vacancies were directly observed in nonstoichiometric ordered titanium monoxide using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy under a magnification of 4×106. The observation of structural vacancies became possible due to their ordering and the formation of continuous vacancy channels in certain crystallographic directions. Microdiffraction was employed to orient the sample in the direction permitting the observation of vacancy channels. Transmission electron microscopy providing a magnification of tens of thousands of times revealed that titanium monoxide grains do not contain cracks and macropores and confirmed that the free volume detected picnometrically in the titanium monoxide is concentrated in structural vacancies on the titanium and oxygen sublattices.  相似文献

In situ measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of titanium monoxide nanocrystals with superstoichiometric composition TiOy (y > 1) in the 300–1200 K temperature range showed that this value depends not only on the structural state of a sample, but also on the size of crystals. Analysis of data obtained for both ordered and disordered TiOy showed that the Van-Vleck paramagnetism is inversely proportional to the nanocrystal size because of breakage of the symmetry of local environment of the near-surface atoms of titanium and oxygen. The Van-Vleck paramagnetism contribution due to atomic-vacancy disorder in superstoichiometric titanium monoxide nanocrystals, as well as in the stoichiometric composition, is proportional to a deviation of the degree of long-range order from its maximum value.  相似文献

A method using the atom-vacancy ordering phenomenon for the visualization of structural vacancies in crystals was suggested and implemented. The ordered nonstoichiometric titanium monoxide Ti5O5 was taken as the object of investigation, because the structural vacancies in this compound can be observed due to the formation of continuous vacancy channels in certain crystallographic directions. The structural vacancies in the specially oriented sample of ordered titanium monoxide were directly observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy with a magnification of 4×106.  相似文献

The electronic spectra and magnetic properties of rutile (TiO2), nonstoichiometric rutile (TiO2 ? δ), and stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric rutiles doped with carbon or nitrogen (TiO2 ? y ? δC y and TiO2 ? y ? δN y , y(δ) = 0, 0.03, 0.06) have been calculated using the coherent potential method. The used method of investigation has made it possible for the first time to calculate the disordered arrangement of impurity atoms and vacancies in the oxygen sublattice with their arbitrary concentration. The changes in the electronic spectrum and magnetic properties with variations in the concentration of dopants have been investigated. The possible photocatalytic activity of considered compositions has been analyzed.  相似文献

Conductivity and magnetic susceptibility of disordered cubic titanium monoxide TiOy(0.920≤y≤1.262) are studied. Temperature dependences of the conductivity of TiOy monoxides with y≤1.069 are described by the Bloch-Grüneisen function with Debye temperature 400–480 K, and temperature dependences of the susceptibility include Pauli paramagnetism of conduction electrons. The behavior of conductivity and susceptibility of TiOy with y≥1.087 is typical of semiconductors with nondegenerate charge carriers obeying Boltzmann statistics. The band gap ΔE between the valence and conduction bands of TiOy(y≥1.087) is 0.06–0.17 eV, and effective mass of charge carriers is equal to 7–14 electron masses.  相似文献

Phase transformations of the disorder-order type in the homogeneity region of nonstoichiometric titanium carbide TiCy (0.5<y<1.0) have been studied. It has been established that, depending on the actual composition of TiCy, there may form in it for T<980–1000 K a cubic or a trigonal ordered Ti2C phase (space groups Fd3m and , respectively) and a rhombic ordered Ti3C2 phase (space group C2221). The effect of ordering on the electrical resistivity of the nonstoichiometric carbide TiCy was studied, and the temperatures of the reversible disorder-order equilibrium transitions determined. The ordering in titanium carbide is shown to be a first-order phase transition. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 40, 1332–1340 (July 1998)  相似文献
