采用第一性原理的密度泛函理论平面波赝势法,通过广义梯度近似研究了Ti_3AC_2相(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)的相结构、能量、电子结构和弹性性质.首先对六方晶相结构的Ti_3AC_2(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)四个相进行几何优化,对其能带结构、总态密度、分态密度和电荷密度分布以及弹性性质进行研究,并计算各相的内聚能与形成能.计算结果表明:Ti_3GeC_2较其他三相稳定,Ti_3AlC_2的形成能最低,说明Ti_3AlC_2较Ti_3SiC_2,Ti_3SnC_2和Ti_3GeC_2更易生成;Ti_3AC_2(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)各相在费米能级处的电子态密度较高,材料表现出较强的金属性,同时各相的导电性为各向异性.Ti_3AC_2(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)各相的导电性主要由Ti的3d电子决定,A(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)的p态电子和C的2p态电子也有少量贡献.决定材料电学性质的主要是Ti的3d,A的P和C的2P态电子的P-d电子轨道杂化,而P-d电子轨道杂化成键则使材料具有比较稳定的结构;对Ti_3AC_2相(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)弹性性质的研究表明Ti_3AlC_2的原子间结合力较弱,而Ti_3GeC_2的原子间结合力相对较强,材料的强度较大.

A first principles calculation of site occupancy of the B2 phase in Ti2AlX (X=V,Cr, Fe,Mo, Ta,Nb, Zr,Hf and Re) intermetallics

The site occupancy of the B2 phase in Ti₂AlX (X=V, Cr, Fe, Mo, Ta, Nb, Zr, Hf and Re) intermetallics have been studied using first principles pseudo potential plane wave method.The Ti, Al and X atoms are arranged in five different ways, in the lattice sites corresponding to B2 structure of Ti₃Al. In Ti₃AlX, the X atoms are substituted at the Ti and / or Al sites. Further, the equilibrium lattice constants and the formation energy (E_for) of these intermetallics with different site occupancies in the B2 phase have been predicted. The formation energy values suggest that the B2 phase is stable in all alloys. Amongst the five cases in a particular alloy, stable configuration is identified with the minimum E_for and is further considered for the calculations of mechanical properties. All the alloys are mechanically stable in terms of Born stability criteria and show anisotropic behaviour. All the alloys display ductile behaviour in terms of G/B ratio.     

Site preference of Ti and Nb in L12-ordered Co-Al-W phase and their effect on the properties of the alloy: first-principles study

In this work,the equilibrium structure,electronic and elastic properties of L1₂-ordered Co-Al-W and Co-Al-W-X(X=Ti and Nb)phase were calculated,using first-principles calculations.Among six nonequivalent sites(Al₁,Al₂,Co₃,Co₄,W₅,W₆),Ti and Nb prefer to occupy the W₆site,since the formation enthalpy of the system is lowest when Ti and Nb occupy the W。site.Both Ti and Nb most affect the density of states of Al atoms.Compared with the Al₂ site,which is the sub-preference site of Ti and Nb,the density of states of Al atoms is higher with the addition of Ti and Nb in the W₆site,which means that the latter system is more stable.According to the bulk modulus B,shear modulus G,Young's modulus E,hardness Hv and Poisson's ratioσ,for Co₃(AI,W)alloy,the addition of Ti and Nb in the W₆site decreases its hardness hut increases its duetility.This work cnnfirms that Ti and Nh can stahilize the Cag(Al,W)alloy and have a positive effect in solving the relatively poor ductility of this alloy,which has important implications for the development of cobalt.based alloys.     

The influence of 3d-metal alloy additions on the elastic and thermodynamic properties of CuPd3

Embedded-atom method （EAM） potentials are used to investigate the effects of alloying （e.g. 3d-metals） on the trends of elastic and thermodynamic properties for CuPd3 alloy. Our calculated lattice parameter, cohesive energy, and elastic constants of CuPd3 are consistent with the available experimental and theoretical data. The results of elastic constants indicate that all these alloys are mechanically stable. Further mechanical behavior analysis shows that the additions of Cr, Fe, Co, and Ni could improve the hardness of CuPd3 while V could well increase its ductility. Moreover, in order to evaluate the thermodynamic contribution of 3d-metals, the Debye temperature, phonon density of states, and vibrational entropy for CuMPd6 alloy are also investigated.     

金属元素掺杂对TiAl合金力学性能的影响

利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法研究了金属元素X (X分别表示V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo和W)掺杂对TiAl合金性能的影响. 研究发现, 掺杂可以有效减小合金的各向异性, 增强Ti-Al 原子间的相互作用, 同时增强金属键性, 减弱共价键性, 有利于塑性变形. 在相同的压力下, 不同的掺杂浓度和掺杂元素对体积的影响不同. 通过计算不同掺杂体系的弹性常数、体弹模量和剪切模量可知: 当掺杂浓度为6.25%时, 相对于V, Nb和Ta, Cr, Mo和W掺杂能较好地改善TiAl金属间化合物的韧性; 当掺杂浓度为12.5%时, 相对其他掺杂元素Mo的韧化作用最强. 从Mo掺杂后TiAl体系的分波态密度和电荷密度图, 发现Mo和Ti 原子发生强烈的s-s, p-p, d-d电子相互作用, 有效地束缚了合金中Ti和Al原子的迁移, 有助于提高合金的稳定性和强度.     

Computational investigations of mechanical and dynamical properties of gold-based compounds (X3Au,X = Ti,Zr and V)

The structural, elastic, electronic and phonon properties of X₃Au (X?=?Ti, Zr and V) compounds in the A15 structure were obtained in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The equilibrium lattice constants, bulk modulus and elastic constants were calculated. The calculation of elastic constants revealed that V₃Au has the highest hardness nature and incompressibility along the x-axis among them. The computed elastic constants also provided information about the ductility of X₃Au compounds which were predicted using Pugh's criteria. The results indicated that all three compounds have ductile nature. The density of states calculations revealed that electrons of Ti, Zr and V provide most contribution to the conductivity of the compounds and thus cause a metallic bonding. The investigation of stability via phonon spectra of compounds showed that these compounds are dynamically stable in the A15 structure.     

High-pressure studies on electronic and mechanical properties of FeBO3 (B = Ti,Mn, Cr) ceramics – a first-principles study

Using the density functional theory (DFT) method, the electronic and mechanical properties of perovskites FeBO₃ (B = Ti, Mn, Cr) nanostructures were studied in the pressure range of 0–100 GPa. The band structure studies show the change in the band structure upon substitution of different B cation in FeBO₃ perovskite structure. The density of states spectrum gives the perception of change in the electronic properties of FeBO₃ with the substitution of B cation. The bulk, shear and Young's moduli were calculated and an increase in the moduli is noticed. Moreover, the hardness increases under high pressure. The high-pressure studies of FeBO₃ perovskite nanostructures are explored at atomistic level. The findings show that ductility and hardness of FeBO₃ get increased upon an increase in the applied pressure. The substitution of Ti, Mn and Cr on FeBO₃ shows a significant change in the electronic and mechanical properties.
