Ranjan Mittal, Mayanak Kumar Gupta, Samrath Lal Chaplot

摘要:

我们采用从头算分子动力学模拟研究了高压下六方石墨(HG)到六方金刚石(HD)或立方金刚石(CD)的相变机理。从HG到HD的过渡被发现迅速发生在非常小的时间为0.2 ps,与大的合作位移的所有原子。我们观察到HG中原子的交替层分别以相反的方向滑动(1/3,1/6,0)和(-1/3,-1/6,0),沿着pm[2,1,0]方向约为0.7 μ m,同时垂直于a-b平面折叠约pm 0.25 μ m。从HG到CD的转变发生在更复杂的合作位移中。在这种情况下,六个连续的HG层分别沿着[0,1,0]、[-1,-1,0]和[1,0,0]成对地滑动1/3,同时如上所述起皱。我们还进行了计算的声子谱在HG在高压下,揭示软声子模式,可能有助于相变涉及的滑动和起皱的HG层。发现零点振动能和振动熵在使HG稳定到更高的压力(>10 GPa)和温度(<6 GPa)方面具有重要作用。

英文摘要:

We have performed ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the mechanism of the phase transition at high pressure from hexagonal graphite (HG) to hexagonal diamond (HD) or to cubic diamond (CD). The transition from HG to HD is found to occur swiftly in very small time of 0.2 ps, with large cooperative displacements of all the atoms. We observe that alternate layers of atoms in HG slide in opposite directions by (1/3, 1/6, 0) and (-1/3, -1/6, 0), respectively, which is about 0.7 Å along the pm[2, 1, 0] direction, while simultaneously puckering by about pm0.25 Å perpendicular to the a-b plane. The transition from HG to CD occurred with more complex cooperative displacements. In this case, six successive HG layers slide in pairs by 1/3 along [0, 1, 0], [-1, -1, 0] and [1, 0, 0], respectively along with the puckering as above. We have also performed calculations of the phonon spectrum in HG at high pressure, which reveal soft phonon modes that may facilitate the phase transition involving the sliding and puckering of the HG layers. The zero-point vibrational energy and the vibrational entropy are found to have important role in stabilizing HG up to higher pressures (>10 GPa) and temperatures than that estimated (<6 GPa) from previous enthalpy calculations.
