摘要:

氧化钙(\u003cce:CaO/\u003e)在高温高压条件下的热力学行为对于理解行星内部物理学至关重要。本研究采用分子动力学(MD)模拟(包括经典方法和从头算方法)来研究CaO的熔化行为。我们通过空核熔化法和两相共存法计算了\ue0ce{CaO}的熔化温度,旨在解决实验数据中关于熔点的差异——由于该物质的高反应活性和高蒸气压,不同研究得出的熔点范围为2843 K至3223 K。采用空核熔化法和两相共存法得到的结果分别为$T_f = 3066\bpm12$ K和$T_f = 2940\bpm65$ K。此外,我们首次在不对克拉佩龙斜率做任何假设的情况下,计算了熔化焓和高压熔化曲线。这一点极为重要,因为在实验中,熔化曲线的克拉佩龙斜率是通过低压测量估算的,而在模拟中通常假设过热比(即$η=\frac{T_s}{T_f}-1$,其中$T_s$表示对应于固体均匀熔化温度的热不稳定性极限)为常数。我们的MD结果表明,$T_s$随压力的升高速度快于$T_f$,因此过热比明显依赖于压力。这些发现有助于准确构建CaO相图,这对地球化学、宇宙化学和材料科学至关重要。

英文摘要:

The thermodynamic behavior of calcium oxide (\ce{CaO}) under high temperature and pressure conditions is critical for understanding the physics of planetary interiors. This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, including both classical and ab-initio approaches, to investigate the melting behavior of CaO. We calculate the melting temperature of \ce{CaO} by the void-nucleated melting and two-phase coexistence techniques, aiming to resolve discrepancies in experimental data on the melting point, which range from 2843~K to 3223~K in different studies due to the high reactivity and vapor pressure of the substance. The obtained results are $T_f = 3066\pm12$~K and $T_f = 2940\pm65$~K using the void-nucleated melting and the two-phase coexistence method, respectively. Additionally, we calculate the enthalpy of fusion and the high-pressure melting curve, for the first time without making any assumption on the Clapeyron slope. This is extremely important since in experiments the Claperyon slope of the melting curve is estimated from low pressure measurements and the overheating ratio (i.e. $η=\frac{T_s}{T_f}-1$, where $T_s$ represents the thermal instability limit corresponding to the homogeneous melting temperature of the solid) is often assumed to be constant in simulations. Our MD results show that $T_s$ increases more rapidly with pressure than $T_f$ and thus that the overheating ratio sensibly depends upon pressure. These findings contribute to the accurate modeling of the CaO phase diagram, which is essential for geochemistry, cosmochemistry, and materials science.
