摘要:

正钒酸盐可用作固定放射性废物的主体基质。这些材料的热力学稳定性对于它们在高温高压环境中的应用至关重要。有必要研究整个布里渊区中的声子,超出先前拉曼和红外实验中可获得的区中心声子。我们已经进行了广泛的中子非弹性散射实验,得到的声子色散关系的YVO 4高达65毫电子伏的高能量转移,使用单晶,这可能是第一次在任何orthovanadate化合物报道。所测得的声子色散关系与我们的第一性原理密度泛函理论以及壳模型计算结果符合得很好。锆石和白钨矿中声子模的压力依赖性计算结果表明,在高压下,声子模不稳定,违反了玻恩稳定性准则,这可能导致YVO4在高压下的不稳定性。我们还计算了大的各向异性的热膨胀行为,这是由各向异性的弹性和模式Grüneisen参数的差异。

英文摘要:

The orthovanadates are useful as host matrices for immobilization of radioactive wastes. The thermodynamic stability of these materials is crucial for their applications in high pressure and temperatures environment. It is necessary to investigate the phonons in the entire Brillouin zone, beyond the zone-centre phonons accessible in previous Raman and infrared experiments. We have carried out extensive neutron inelastic scattering experiments to derive the phonon dispersion relation of YVO4 up to high energy transfer of 65 meV using a single crystal, which are perhaps reported for the first time in any orthovanadate compound. The measured phonon dispersion relation is in good agreement with our first principles density functional theory as well as shell model calculations. The calculated pressure dependence of phonon modes in the zircon and scheelite phases shows unstable modes and violation of the Born stability criteria at high pressure, which may be lead to instability in YVO4 at high pressures. We also calculate large anisotropy in the thermal expansion behavior which arises from difference in anisotropic elasticity and mode Grüneisen parameters.
