通过在原子尺度上建模来研究Al、NiAl和Ni3Al合金在极端高温和高压下的点阵常数、弹性常数、弹性模量、泊松比和弹性各向异性因子等性质.计算得到的弹性常数均满足相应的力学稳定条件.由于NiAl和Ni3Al具有较高的B/G值,在0~30GPa内都属于延展性材料.通过包含电子热运动对体系吉布斯自由能贡献的全电子准谐近似方法,得到了高温高压下Al、NiAl和Ni3Al合金的热膨胀系数、体积模量、热容和熵等.计算值与已有的实验值和理论值符合较好.
Atomistic modeling based on the accurate first-principles method is used to investigate the lattice parameter, elastic constant, elastic modulus including bulk modulus (B) and shear modulus (G), Poisson's ratio, and elastic anisotropy of Al, NiAl and NiaAl under extreme condition. The elastic constants obtained from calculations meet their mechanical stability criteria. Both NiAl and Ni3Al exhibit ductile behavior due to their high bulk mudulus to shear modulus ratios of B/G ratios. Through the full-electronic quasi-harmonic approximation, in which the mobile electrons are considered, we successfully obtain the thermo-physical properties including the thermal expansion coefficient, bulk modulus, heat capacity and entropy at simultaneously high temperatures and high pressures. The calculated quantities agree well with the available results. Some silent results are also interpreted. Several interesting features in the thermodynamic properties can also be observed.
