摘要:

提出了一种计算磁性材料高温顺磁弹性常数的理论方案。我们的方法是基于无序局域矩图像和从头算分子动力学(DLM-MD)的组合。此外,我们研究了一种可能性,以提高效率的弹性性能的模拟使用最近推出的方法:对称强加的力常数温度相关的有效势(SIFC-TDEP)。我们选择立方顺磁性CrN作为模型系统。这样做是由于其技术的重要性和它的磁性和晶格自由度之间的强耦合。本文研究了顺磁CrN单晶和多晶的弹性常数随温度的变化。T= 300 K时的结果与室温下多晶弹性常数和泊松比的实验值吻合得很好。我们观察到杨氏模量强烈依赖于温度,从T=300 K到1200 K降低约14%。此外,我们已经研究了CrN的弹性各向异性作为温度的函数,我们观察到,CrN变得更加各向同性,随着温度的升高。我们表明,使用伯奇定律可能会导致大量的错误计算温度引起的弹性模量的变化。所提出的方法可用于准确预测磁性材料在磁有序-无序相变温度以上的力学性能。

英文摘要:

We present a theoretical scheme to calculate the elastic constants of magnetic materials in the high-temperature paramagnetic state. Our approach is based on a combination of disordered local moments picture and ab initio molecular dynamics (DLM-MD). Moreover, we investigate a possibility to enhance the efficiency of the simulations of elastic properties using recently introduced method: symmetry imposed force constant temperature dependent effective potential (SIFC-TDEP). We have chosen cubic paramagnetic CrN as a model system. This is done due to its technological importance and its demonstrated strong coupling between magnetic and lattice degrees of freedom. We have studied the temperature dependent single-crystal and polycrystalline elastic constants of paramagentic CrN up to 1200 K. The obtained results at T= 300 K agree well with the experimental values of polycrystalline elastic constants as well as Poisson ratio at room temperature. We observe that the Young's modulus is strongly dependent on temperature, decreasing by ~14% from T=300 K to 1200 K. In addition we have studied the elastic anisotropy of CrN as a function of temperature and we observe that CrN becomes substantially more isotropic as the temperature increases. We demonstrate that the use of Birch law may lead to substantial errors for calculations of temperature induced changes of elastic moduli. The proposed methodology can be used for accurate predictions of mechanical properties of magnetic materials at temperatures above their magnetic order-disorder phase transition.
