高温高压下金属钽的替代结构预测

Predicted alternative structure for tantalum metal under high pressure and high temperature

Zhong-Li Liu, Ling-Cang Cai, Xiu-Lu Zhang, Feng Xi

摘要:

采用第一性原理模拟研究了金属钽在高温高压下的相稳定性。我们使用我们开发的多算法协作(MAC)晶体结构预测技术在全球范围内搜索其低能结构。体心立方(bcc)被发现在高达300 GPa的压力下是稳定的。同时也成功地复制了先前报道的$ω$和\textit{A} 15结构。更有趣的是,我们观察到了另一个相(空间群:\textit{Pnma},62),它比$ω$和\textit{A} 15更稳定。声子谱和弹性常数证实了它的稳定性。对于$ω$ -Ta,计算的弹性常数和高温声子谱都表明它既不是机械稳定的,也不是动力学稳定的。因此,$ω$不是bcc-Ta在熔化之前转变成的结构。相反,\textit{Pnma} -Ta剪切声速与实验的良好一致性表明,\textit{Pnma}是由最近的冲击实验中剪切声速的中断所暗示的Ta的新结构[J. Appl. Phys. \textbf{111},033511(2012)]。

英文摘要:

First-principles simulations have been performed to investigate the phase stability of tantalum metal under high pressure and high temperature (HPHT). We searched its low-energy structures globally using our developed multi-algorithm collaborative (MAC) crystal structure prediction technique. The body-centred cubic (bcc) was found to be stable at pressure up to 300 GPa. The previously reported $ω$ and \textit{A}15 structures were also reproduced successfully. More interestingly, we observed another phase (space group: \textit{Pnma}, 62) that is more stable than $ω$ and \textit{A}15. Its stability is confirmed by its phonon spectra and elastic constants. For $ω$-Ta, the calculated elastic constants and high-temperature phonon spectra both imply that it is neither mechanically nor dynamically stable. Thus, $ω$ is not the structure to which bcc-Ta transits before melting. On the contrary, the good agreement of \textit{Pnma}-Ta shear sound velocities with experiment suggests \textit{Pnma} is the new structure of Ta implied by the discontinuation of shear sound velocities in recent shock experiment [J. Appl. Phys. \textbf{111}, 033511 (2012)].
