摘要:

Au-Fe合金由于具有良好的生物相容性、反常的霍尔导电性以及在各种医疗领域的应用而引起人们极大的兴趣。然而,无论制备方法如何,它们通常表现出高水平的无序,对热或磁退火温度敏感。我们使用密度泛函理论方法计算了Au $_{1-x}$ Fe $_x$合金的晶格动力学性质,其中,作为一个多位性质,无序合金中原子间力常数(IFC)的可靠计算仍然是一个挑战。我们遵循两种方法:(1)在具有名义上为零的化学对相关性的环境中精确的IFC计算,以模拟均匀无序合金;以及(2)对所需的声子性质进行构型平均(例如,色散、态密度和熵)。我们发现在$x$ =0.19附近的IFC和声子色散(分裂带)的异常变化,这是由于当Au在Fe附近时Au-Au键的局部硬化。基于机械和热物理性质的其他结果反映了类似的异常:声子熵,例如,在低于$x$ =0.19时变为负值,表明化学不混合的趋势,反映了相图中相容性间隙的开始。我们的结果与报告的数据相当吻合。

英文摘要:

Au-Fe alloys are of immense interest due to their biocompatibility, anomalous hall conductivity, and applications in various medical treatment. However, irrespective of the method of preparation, they often exhibit a high-level of disorder, with properties sensitive to the thermal or magnetic annealing temperatures. We calculate lattice dynamical properties of Au$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$ alloys using density functional theory methods, where, being a multisite property, reliable interatomic force constant (IFC) calculations in disordered alloys remain a challenge. We follow a two fold approach: (1) an accurate IFC calculation in an environment with nominally zero chemical pair correlations to mimic the homogeneously disordered alloy; and (2) a configurational averaging for the desired phonon properties (e.g., dispersion, density of states, and entropy). We find an anomalous change in the IFC's and phonon dispersion (split bands) near $x$=0.19, which is attributed to the local stiffening of the Au-Au bonds when Au is in the vicinity of Fe. Other results based on mechanical and thermo-physical properties reflect a similar anomaly: Phonon entropy, e.g., becomes negative below $x$=0.19, suggesting a tendency for chemical unmixing, reflecting the onset of miscibility gap in the phase diagram. Our results match fairly well with reported data, wherever available.
