摘要:

术语“MAX相”是指一类非常有趣和重要的层状三元过渡金属碳化物和氮化物,具有金属和陶瓷类特性的新颖组合,使这些材料在许多技术和工程应用中受到高度重视。以(Cr2 Hf)2Al 3C 3为例,我们证明了在保持结晶度的同时将更多类型的元素并入MAX相而不是产生固溶体相的可能性。利用维也纳从头算模拟软件包研究了类MAX(Cr2 Hf)2Al 3C 3的晶体结构和弹性性质。与具有六方对称性的MAX相(P63/mmc,#194)不同,(Cr2 Hf)2Al 3C 3在P21/m(#11)的单斜空间群中结晶,晶格参数为a = 5.1739 °,b = 5.1974 °,c = 12.8019 °; α = β = 90°,γ = 119.8509°。发现其结构在能量上更加有利,能量(每分子式单位)为-102.11eV,显着低于同素异性偏析(-100.05eV)和固溶体(-100.13eV)相的能量。使用应力-应变方法和多晶的VRH近似的计算也表明(Cr2 Hf)2Al 3C 3具有突出的弹性模量。

英文摘要:

The term "MAX phase" refers to a very interesting and important class of layered ternary transition-metal carbides and nitrides with a novel combination of both metal and ceramic-like properties that have made these materials highly regarded candidates for numerous technological and engineering applications. Using (Cr2Hf)2Al3C3 as an example, we demonstrate the possibility of incorporating more types of elements into a MAX phase while maintaining the crystallinity, instead of creating solid-solution phases. The crystal structure and elastic properties of MAX-like (Cr2Hf)2Al3C3 are studied using the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package. Unlike MAX phases with a hexagonal symmetry (P63/mmc, #194), (Cr2Hf)2Al3C3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group of P21/m (#11) with lattice parameters of a = 5.1739 Å, b = 5.1974 Å, c = 12.8019 Å; α = β = 90°, γ = 119.8509°. Its structure is found to be energetically much more favorable with an energy (per formula unit) of -102.11 eV, significantly lower than those of the allotropic segregation (-100.05 eV) and solid-solution (-100.13 eV) phases. Calculations using a stress vs. strain approach and the VRH approximation for polycrystals also show that (Cr2Hf)2Al3C3 has outstanding elastic moduli.
