Structural and mechanical stability of rare-earth diborides

Structural and mechanical properties of several rare-earth diborides were systematically investigated by first principles calculations. Specifically, we studied XB2 , where X=Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu in the hexagonal AlB2 , ReB2 , and orthorhombic OsB2 -type structures. The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, bond distances, second order elastic constants, and related polycrystalline elastic moduli (e.g., shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Debye temperature, sound velocities) were calculated. Our results indicate that these compounds are mechanically stable in the considered structures, and according to "Chen’s method", the predicted Vickers hardness shows that they are hard materials in AlB2 - and OsB2 -type structures.     

First-principles study on the crystal, electronic structure and mechanical properties of hexagonal Al3RE (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) intermetallic compounds

The structural properties, elastic properties and electronic structures of hexagonal Al₃RE intermetallic compounds are calculated by using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Since there exists strong on-site Coulomb repulsion between the highly localized 4f electrons of RE atoms, we present a combination of the GGA and the LSDA+U approaches in order to obtain the appropriate results. The GGA calculated lattice constants for the hexagonal Al₃RE intermetallic compounds are in good agreement with available experimental values. The results of cohesive energy indicate that these compounds can be stable under absolute zero Kelvin and the stability of Al₃Gd is the strongest in all of the hexagonal Al₃RE compounds. The densities of states for GGA and LSDA+U approaches are also obtained for the Al₃RE intermetallic compounds. The mechanical properties are calculated from the GGA method in this paper. According to the computed single crystal elastic constants, Al₃La, Al₃Sm and Al₃Gd are mechanically unstable, while Al₃Ce, Al₃Pr and Al₃Nd are stable. The polycrystalline elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio have been deduced by using Voigt-Reuss-Hill (VRH) approximations, and the calculated ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus indicates that Al₃La compound is ductile material, but Al₃Ce, Al₃Pr, Al₃Nd, Al₃Sm and Al₃Gd are brittle materials.

Theoretical investigation of new type of ternary magnesium alloys AMgNi4 (A=Y,La, Ce,Pr and Nd)

New ternary magnesium alloys AMgNi₄ (A=Y, La, Ce, Pr and Nd) have been studied by First-Principles calculations within the generalized gradient approximation. The optimized structural parameters were in good agreement with the available experimental data. The calculated cohesive energies and formation enthalpies showed that these alloys had strong structural stability. Then the elastic constants C_ij of these AMgNi₄ alloys were calculated, and the bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E, Poisson's ratio ν and anisotropy value A of polycrystalline materials were derived from the elastic constants, the related mechanical properties were further discussed. The electronic structures were also calculated to reveal the underlying mechanism for the structural stability and the elastic property.     

Investigation of the magnetocaloric effect in hexagonal ferrimagnetic materials with spin-orientational transitions

The magnetocaloric effect for ferrimagnetic materials of the hexagonal system, for which a characteristic feature is the presence of spontaneous spin-orientational transitions when the temperature changes, is analyzed. Expressions are obtained for the field and temperature dependences of the magnetocaloric effect of singlecrystal and polycrystalline materials, taking into account higher-order magnetic crystallographic anisotropy constants. The results of the calculations agree well with experimental data on the magnetocaloric effect in polycrystalline grain-oriented samples of hexaferrites from the BaCo_2−xZn_x-W system. Deceased. V.

An ab initio study of the electronic structure and elastic properties of the newly discovered ternary carbide

The electronic structure and elastic properties of the newly discovered ternary layered carbide Ti₄GaC₃ were investigated by means of the first-principle plane-wave pseudopotential total energy calculation method based on density functional theory. The computed results, including lattice constants and internal coordinates, are in good agreement with experimental values. The elastic moduli of ideal polycrystalline Ti₄GaC₃ were predicted from the individual elastic constants by Voigt approximation. The band structure shows that the electrical conductivity is metallic and anisotropic, with a high density of states at the Fermi energy. The elastic properties are anisotropic, related to the Ti–Ga bonds being relatively weaker than the Ti–C bonds.     

Elastic properties of nanostructured materials with layered grain boundary structure

Atomistic calculations of the elastic constants for a bulk nanostructured material that consists of a layered structure where alternating layers meet along high angle grain boundaries and where atoms interact via a Lennard-Jones potential are presented. The calculations of the elastic constants were performed in the frame of homogeneous deformations for a wide range of layer widths ranging from 2.24 up to 74.62 nm. The results showed that the relaxation of the atomic structure affects the elastic constants for the cases where more than 5% of atoms are located in the GB region. Also it was found that the way that external stresses are applied on the system affects the values of the obtained elastic properties, with the elastic constants related to the characteristic directions of the grain boundary being the most affected ones. The findings of this work are of interest for the fabrication methods of nanostructured materials, the measurement methods of their elastic properties as well as multiscale modeling schemes of nanostructured materials.     

Anisotropic contribution of magnetostriction to the elastic compliance constants in hexagonal materials: The Δs-effect

In this paper, we consider the single crystal analogue of the ΔE-effect in hexagonal materials with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. We define Δs_ijld as the fractional change in the elastic compliance tensor s_ijkl in the demagnetized state relative to its value in the saturated state. The Δs-effect depends in general on the direction of the applied stress and the resulting magnetostrictive strain. We can show, however, that Δs_ijkl is always nonnegative when i=k and j=l. We then consider the measurements of the elastic constants in magnetic materials which have large magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The stresses applied in these measurements are not sufficient to rotate the magnetization away from the magnetically preferred direction, and hence cause no magnetostriction, and no Δs-effect. Therefore, it is not necessary to apply a saturating magnetic field along the easy axis in order to measure the true elastic constants in these materials.
