Magnesia-based refractory is widely used in high-temperature industries; its easy hydration is, however, a key concern in refractory processing. Understanding the hydration mechanism of MgO will help in solving its hydration problem. Herein, the hydration behavior of (MgO)n (n = 1–6) at the molecular level and the effect mechanisms of several anti-hydration agents on the hydration of (MgO)4 were investigated with first-principles calculations. The results indicated that the following: (1) The smaller the (MgO)n cluster size, the more favorable the hydration of MgO and the tendency to convert into Mg(OH)2 crystal; (2) Anti-hydration agents can coordinate with the unsaturated Mg atom of (MgO)4 to form a bond, increasing the coordination number of Mg, thus reducing its activity when reacting with H2O; (3) The greater the number of −COOH groups and the longer the chain length in the anti-hydration agents, the better its effect of inhibiting the hydration of MgO. These findings could enhance the understanding of the mechanism of hydration of MgO and provide theoretical guidance for the design of novel anti-hydration agents. 相似文献

Large magnetic field-induced strains can be achieved in modulated martensite for Ni-Mn-In alloys; however, the metastability of the modulated martensite imposes serious constraints on the ability of these alloys to serve as promising sensor and actuator materials. The phase stability, magnetic properties, and electronic structure of the modulated martensite in the Ni2Mn1.5In0.5 alloy are systematically investigated. Results show that the 6M and 5M martensites are metastable and will eventually transform to the NM martensite with the lowest total energy in the Ni2Mn1.5In0.5 alloy. The physical properties of the incommensurate 7M modulated martensite (7M–IC) and nanotwinned 7M martensite () are also calculated. The austenite (A) and phases are ferromagnetic (FM), whereas the 5M, 6M, and NM martensites are ferrimagnetic (FIM), and the FM coexists with the FIM state in the 7M–IC martensite. The calculated electronic structure demonstrates that the splitting of Jahn–Teller effect and the strong Ni–Mn bonding interaction lead to the enhancement of structural stability. 相似文献

MgO-doped LiNbO3 (LN:Mg) is famous for its high resistance to optical damage, but this phenomenon only occurs in visible and infrared regions, and its photorefraction is not decreased but enhanced in ultraviolet region. Here we investigated a series of ZrO2 co-doped LN:Mg (LN:Mg,Zr) regarding their ultraviolet photorefractive properties. The optical damage resistance experiment indicated that the resistance against ultraviolet damage of LN:Mg was significantly enhanced with increased ZrO2 doping concentration. Moreover, first-principles calculations manifested that the enhancement of ultraviolet damage resistance for LN:Mg,Zr was mainly determined by both the increased band gap and the reduced ultraviolet photorefractive center O2−/−. So, LN:Mg,Zr crystals would become an excellent candidate for ultraviolet nonlinear optical material. 相似文献

We predict by first principles a phase transition in alumina at approximately 3.7 Mbar and room temperature from the CaIrO(3)-type polymorph to another with the U(2)S(3)-type structure. Because alumina is used as window material in shock-wave experiments, this transformation should be important for the analysis of shock data in this pressure range. Comparison of our results on all high-pressure phases of alumina with shock data suggests the presence of two phase transitions in shock experiments: the corundum to Rh(2)O(3)(II)-type structure and the Rh(2)O(3)(II)-type to CaIrO(3)-type structure. The transformation to the U(2)S(3)-type polymorph is in the pressure range reached in the mantle of recently discovered terrestrial exoplanets and suggests that the multi-megabar crystal chemistry of planet-forming minerals might be related to that of the rare-earth sulfides. 相似文献

The novel ternary carbides and nitrides, known as MAX phase materials with remarkable combined metallic and ceramic properties, offer various engineering and technological applications. Using ab initio calculations based on generalized gradient approximation (GGA), local density approximation (LDA), and the quasiharmonic Debye model; the electronic, structural, elastic, mechanical, and thermodynamic properties of the M2GaC (M = Zr, Hf) MAX phase were investigated. The optimized lattice parameters give the first reference to the upcoming theocratical and experimental studies, while the calculated elastic constants are in excellent agreement with the available data. Moreover, obtained elastic constants revealed that both the Zr2GaC and Hf2GaC MAX phases are brittle. The band structure and density of states analysis showed that these MAX phases are electrical conductors, having strong directional bonding between M-C (M = Zr, Hf) atoms due to M-d and C-p hybridization. Formation and cohesive energies, and phonon calculations showed that Zr2GaC and Hf2GaC MAX phases’ compounds are thermodynamically and dynamically stable and can be synthesized experimentally. Finally, the effect of temperature and pressure on volume, heat capacity, Debye temperature, Grüneisen parameter, and thermal expansion coefficient of M2GaC (M = Zr, Hf) are evaluated using the quasiharmonic Debye model from the nonequilibrium Gibbs function in the temperature and pressure range 0–1600 K and 0–50 GPa respectively. 相似文献

The present work introduced first-principles calculation to explore the substitution behavior of Ag atoms for Al or Ti atoms in the Ti2AlC MAX phase ceramic. The effect of Ag substitution on supercell parameter, bonding characteristic, and stability of the Ti2AlC was investigated. The results show that for the substitution of Ag for Al, the Al-Ti bond was replaced by a weaker Ti-Ag bond, decreasing the stability of the Ti2AlC. However, the electrical conductivity of the Ti2AlC was enhanced after the substitution because of the contribution of Ag 4d orbital electrons toward the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level coupled with the filling of Ti d orbital electrons. For the substitution of Ag for Ti, new bonds, such as Ag-Al bond, Ag-C bond, Al-Al bond, Ti-Ti anti-bond, and C-C anti-bond were generated in the Ti2AlC. The Ti-Ti anti-bond was strengthened as well as the number of C-C anti-bond was increased with increasing the substitution ratio of Ag for Ti. Similar to the substitution of Ag for Al, the stability of the Ti2AlC also decreased because the original Al-Ti bond became weaker as well as the Ti-Ti and C-C anti-bonds were generated during the substitution of Ag for Ti. Comparing with the loss of Ti d orbital electrons, Ag 4d orbits contributed more electrons to the DOS at the Fermi level, improving the electrical conductivity of the Ti2AlC after substitution. Based on the calculation, the substitution limit of Ag for Al or Ti was determined. At last, the substitution behavior of Ag for Al or Ti was compared to discriminate that Ag atoms would tend to preferentially substitute for Ti atoms in Ti2AlC. The current work provides a new perspective to understand intrinsic structural characteristic and lattice stability of the Ti2AlC MAX phase ceramic. 相似文献

We systematically investigated the influence of yttrium (Y) on the evolution behavior of helium (He) in tungsten (W) by first-principles calculations. It is found that the addition of Y reduces the solution energy of He atoms in W. Interestingly, the solution energy of He decreases with decreasing distance between Y and He. The binding energies between Y and He are inversely correlated with the effective charge of He atoms, which can be attributed to the closed shell structure of He. In addition, compared with pure W, the diffusion barrier (0.033 eV) of He with Y is lower, calculated by the climbing-image nudged elastic band (CI-NEB) simulations, reflecting that the existence of Y contributes to the diffusion of He in W. The obtained results provide a theoretical direction for understanding the diffusion of He. 相似文献

Due to its unique crystal structure and nano-properties, hydroxyapatite (HA) has become an important inorganic material with broad development prospects in electrical materials, for fire resistance and insulation, and in bone repair. However, its application is limited to some extent because of its low strength, brittleness and other shortcomings. Graphene (G) and its derivative graphene oxide (GO) are well known for their excellent mechanical properties, and are widely used to modify HA by domestic and foreign scholars, who expect to achieve better reinforcement and toughening effects. However, the enhancement mechanism has not been made clear. Accordingly, in this study, G and GO were selected to modify HA using the first-principles calculation method to explore the theory of interfacial bonding of composites and explain the microscopic mechanism of interfacial bonding. First-principles calculation is a powerful tool used to solve experimental and theoretical problems and predict the structure and properties of new materials with precise control at the atomic level. Therefore, the bonding behaviors of hydroxyapatite (100), (110) and (111) crystal planes with G or GO were comprehensively and systematically studied using first-principles calculation; this included analyses of the density of states and differential charge density, and calculations of interfacial adhesion work and elastic moduli. Compared to HA (100) and (111) crystal planes, HA (110) had the best bonding performance with G and with GO, as revealed by the calculation results. The composite material systems of HA (110)/G and HA (110)/GO had the smallest density of states at the Fermi level, the largest charge transfers of Ca atoms, the largest interfacial adhesion work and the most outstanding elastic moduli. These results provide a theoretical basis for the modification of HA to a certain extent, and are beneficial to the expansion of the scope of its application. 相似文献

Hydrogen embrittlement causes deterioration of materials used in metal–hydrogen systems. Alloying is a good option for overcoming this issue. In the present work, first-principles calculations were performed to systematically study the effects of adding Ni on the stability, dissolution, trapping, and diffusion behaviour of interstitial/vacancy H atoms of pure V. The results of lattice dynamics and solution energy analyses showed that the V–Ni solid solutions are dynamically and thermodynamically stable, and adding Ni to pure V can reduce the structural stability of various VHx phases and enhance their resistance to H embrittlement. H atoms preferentially occupy the characteristic tetrahedral interstitial site (TIS) and the octahedral interstitial site (OIS), which are composed by different metal atoms, and rapidly diffuse along both the energetically favourable TIS → TIS and OIS → OIS paths. The trapping energy of monovacancy H atoms revealed that Ni addition could help minimise the H trapping ability of the vacancies and suppress the retention of H in V. Monovacancy defects block the diffusion of H atoms more than the interstitials, as determined from the calculated H-diffusion barrier energy data, whereas Ni doping contributes negligibly toward improving the H-diffusion coefficient. 相似文献
