摘要:

基于Z衬度扫描透射电子显微镜(STEM)观察和第一性原理计算,提出了Mg-Zn-RE合金中形成的独特的长周期堆垛/有序(LPSO)相的结构模型。LPSO结构是hcp-Mg结构的长周期堆叠衍生物,并且Zn/RE分布被限制在形成局部fcc堆叠的四个紧密堆积的原子层处(即,局部ABCA堆叠)。Mg 97 Zn 1 Er 2(14 H型)和Mg 85 Zn 6 Y 9(18 R型)合金中形成的LPSO相具有良好的化学有序性,具有明显的超晶格反射,相关的Zn/RE分布在Z衬度原子图像中清晰可见。通过将所有原子放置在理想的蜂窝位置,构建了初始的三阶模型,导致14 H型的P63/mcm和18 R型的C2/m,P3112或P3212的合理空间群。特征有序的功能是很好地代表了本地Zn 6 RE 8团簇,这是嵌入在fcc堆叠层按照L12型短程有序。初始模型的能量有利的结构弛豫导致Zn/RE位置的显著位移,这意味着强Zn-RE相互作用可能对相稳定性起关键作用。的LPSO相似乎容忍相当程度的无序在Zn和RE网站与统计共职业的Mg,延伸的非化学计量相区边界沿Zn/RE等原子线从~Mg94.0Zn2.0Y4.0到~Mg83.3Zn8.3Y8.3。

英文摘要:

We propose structure models of the unique long-period stacking/order (LPSO) phases formed in the Mg-Zn-RE alloys, based on Z-contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) observations and first-principles calculations. The LPSO structures are long-period stacking derivatives of the hcp-Mg structure, and the Zn/RE distributions are restricted at the four close-packed atomic layers forming local fcc-stacking (i.e., a local ABCA stacking). Chemical order is well developed for the LPSO phases formed in Mg97Zn1Er2 (14H-type) and Mg85Zn6Y9 (18R-type) alloys with pronounced superlattice reflections, and the relevant Zn/RE distributions are clearly emerged in the Z-contrast atomic images. Initial ternary-ordered models are constructed by placing all the atoms at the ideal honeycomb sites, leading to plausible space groups of P63/mcm for 14H-type and C2/m, P3112 or P3212 for 18R-type. Characteristic ordered feature is well represented by the local Zn6RE8 clusters, which are embedded in the fcc-stacking layers in accordance with the L12-type short-range order. Energy-favored structural relaxations of the initial model cause significant displacements of the Zn/RE positions, implying that strong Zn-RE interactions may play a critical role for the phase stability. The LPSO phases seem to tolerate a considerable degree of disorder at the Zn and RE sites with statistical co-occupations by Mg, extending the non-stoichiometry phase region bounded along the Zn/RE equi-atomic line from ~Mg94.0Zn2.0Y4.0 to ~Mg83.3Zn8.3Y8.3.
