摘要:

我们将第一性原理计算和准谐波近似结合实验(X射线衍射和衍射测量)来确定NiTiSn(half-Heusler)和Ni 2 TiSn(Heusler)化合物的热性质。这些性质是重要的,特别是如果它们被用于热电应用。首先,模式Gruneisen参数的计算表明,它是积极的整个第一布里渊区。这表明这些化合物经历规则的热膨胀。然后,Ni 2 TiSn热膨胀的计算显示出良好的协议,即使在高温范围内,与我们的高能粉末X射线衍射测量(ESRF)和衍射实验。就NiTiSn而言,这一协议就不那么令人印象深刻了。这可能是由于更强的声子-声子相互作用,这在准谐波近似中没有考虑,但也是由于难以制造高质量的NiTiSn样品。最后计算了两种化合物的恒压和恒容热容,并与文献报道的实验数据进行了比较。特别是,我们已经分解成一个纯粹的电子和声子介导的贡献的Ni 2 TiSn的定容热容,我们讨论他们每个人。

英文摘要:

We coupled first principles calculations and the quasiharmonic approximation combined with experiments (X-Ray diffraction and dilatometry measurements) to determine the thermal properties of NiTiSn (half-Heusler) and Ni2TiSn (Heusler) compounds. These properties are important especially if they are to be used in thermoelectric applications. First, the calculation of their mode Gruneisen parameter shows that it is positive throughout the first Brillouin zone. This suggests that these compounds undergo a regular thermal expansion. Then, the calculation of the Ni2TiSn thermal expansion shows an excellent agreement, even in the high temperature range, with our high energy powder X-Ray diffraction measurements (ESRF) and dilatometry experiments. In the case of NiTiSn, this agreement is less impressive. This could be due to stronger phonon-phonon interactions that are not considered within the quasiharmonic approximation, but also to the difficulty of making high-quality NiTiSn samples. Finally, the constant-pressure and constant-volume heat capacities have been calculated for both compounds and compared with the experimental data reported in the literature. In particular, we have decomposed the constant-volume heat capacity of Ni2TiSn into a purely electronic and a phonon-mediated contribution, and we discuss each of them.
