摘要:

采用同步辐射粉末X射线衍射(PXRD)和第一性原理密度泛函理论(DFT)研究了过渡金属双硫族化合物(TMD)家族的一种1 T多晶型化合物二硒化钒(VSe 2)在压力作用下的结构演化. XRD结果表明,在P ~ 4GPa压力下,c/a比值、V-Se键长和Se-V-Se键角出现异常,表明发生了等结构转变。在P ~11 GPa时,由于相邻Se-V-Se层的滑移,发生了从1 T(空间群P-3 m1)相到3R(空间群R-3 m)相的一级结构转变。我们提出了各种方案来理解DFT内的实验结果,并发现只有在包含与低估过渡压力的单元体积误差相关的双曲校正后,才能捕获1 T到3R的过渡。Se原子的Debye-Waller因子突然增加了~4倍,因此结构转变压力的非谐效应迄今为止还没有报道,这暗示了一种可能的方法来理解实验和理论转变压力值之间的失配。

英文摘要:

We study pressure-induced structural evolution of vanadium diselenide (VSe2), a 1T polymorphic member of the transition metal di-chalcogenide (TMD) family using synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and first-principles density functional theory (DFT). Our XRD results reveal anomalies at P ~4 GPa in c/a ratio, V-Se bond length and Se-V-Se bond angle signalling an isostructural transition. This is followed by a first order structural transition from 1T (space group P-3m1) phase to a 3R (space group R-3m) phase at P ~11 GPa due to sliding of adjacent Se-V-Se layers. We present various scenarios to understand the experimental results within DFT and find that the 1T to 3R transition can be captured only after inclusion of enthalpic correction associated with errors in cell volume with underestimated transition pressure. The abrupt increase in the Debye-Waller factors of Se atoms by a factor of ~4 and hence the anharmonic effects across the structural transition pressure are hitherto not reported so far and hint a possible way to understand the mismatch between the experimental and theoretical transition pressure values.
