An Ab Initio Study of Connections between TensorialnElastic Properties and Chemical Bonds in S5(210)nGrain Boundaries in Ni3Si

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Using quantum-mechanical methods we calculate and analyze (tensorial) anisotropicnelastic properties of the ground-state configurations of interface states associated with S5(210) grainnboundaries (GBs) in cubic L12-structure Ni3Si. We assess the mechanical stability of interface statesnwith two different chemical compositions at the studied GB by checking rigorous elasticity-basednBorn stability criteria. In particular, we show that a GB variant containing both Ni and Si atomsnat the interface is unstable with respect to shear deformation (one of the elastic constants, C55,nis negative). This instability is found for a rectangular-parallelepiped supercell obtained whennapplying standard coincidence-lattice construction. Our elastic-constant analysis allowed us tonidentify a shear-deformation mode reducing the energy and, eventually, to obtain mechanically stablenground-state characterized by a shear-deformed parallelepiped supercell. Alternatively, we testedna stabilization of this GB interface state by Al substituents replacing Si atoms at the GB.We furtherndiscuss an atomistic origin of this instability in terms of the crystal orbital Hamilton populationn(COHP) and phonon dispersion calculations. We find that the unstable GB variant shows a verynstrong interaction between the Si atoms in the GB plane and Ni atoms in the 3rd plane off the GBninterface. However, such bond reinforcement results in weakening of interaction between the Ninatoms in the 3rd plane and the Si atoms in the 5th plane making this GB variant mechanically unstable.
