First-Principles Theoretical Study on the Structure Behaviors of NaPO3 under Compression
-
摘要: 探索PO6配位八面体的高压晶体化学行为是理解磷的高压化学性质、了解磷在下地幔中可能的赋存方式及磷的地球化学循环的重要基础。在0~80 GPa压力范围内,对MgSiO3等电子体的NaPO3开展第一性原理密度泛函理论研究,通过对其常压β相(P21/n)、透辉石相(C2/c)、钛铁矿相(R
$ \overline 3 $ )、斜方钙钛矿相(Pnma)和立方钙钛矿相(Pm3m) 的几何优化和总能对比,获得了NaPO3的结构相变序列及相变压力:P21/n → C2/c (2 GPa) → R$ \overline 3 $ (20 GPa)→ Pnma(50 GPa),相变导致的体积变化分别为7.1%、11.5%和9.0%。Pm3m-NaPO3的声子色散曲线在R点和M点呈现出显著且相似的虚频,而Pnma-NaPO3在整个布里渊区均表现为实频,表明Pnma-NaPO3动力学稳定。Pnma-NaPO3的晶格常数、P―O键长、P―O―P键角、${{\mathrm{NaO}}_{12}} $ 和${{\mathrm{PO}}_6} $ 多面体体积比$V_{{\mathrm{NaO}}_{12}} $ /$V_{{\mathrm{PO}}_6} $ 与压力的关系表明,PO6八面体在计算的整个压力范围内都较规则,且NaO12多面体的压缩性比PO6八面体的压缩性更大。电子结构计算表明,在Pnma-NaPO3的PO6八面体中,P的3p和3s轨道与O的2p轨道强烈混合,P―O键表现出的强共价性对稳定其斜方钙钛矿结构发挥了关键作用。Abstract: Exploring the high-pressure crystal chemical behaviors of the PO6 coordinated octahedron is an important basis for understanding the high-pressure chemistry, the possible occurrence in the lower mantle, and the geochemical cycle of the phosphorus element. In this study, NaPO3, which is isoelectronic with the major component of the lower mantle MgSiO3, was studied with the first-principle density functional theory in the pressure range of 0–80 GPa. By ways of geometric optimization and total energy comparison of its ambient pressure β phase (P21/n), diopside phase (C2/c), ilmenite phase (R$ \overline 3 $ ), orthorhombic (Pnma) and cubic (Pm3m) perovskite phases, the structural phase transformation sequence and phase transformation pressures were obtained: P21/n→C2/c (2 GPa)→R$ \overline 3 $ (20 GPa)→Pnma (50 GPa), with the unit-cell volume changes of 7.1%, 11.5% and 9.0%, respectively. The phonon dispersion curves of Pm3m-NaPO3 show remarkable and similar imaginary frequencies at R and M points, while the orthorhombic perovskite structure shows real frequencies throughout the whole Brillouin zone reflecting its dynamic stability. The pressure dependence of lattice constants, P―O bond lengths, P―O―P bond angles and$V_{{\mathrm{NaO}}_{12}} $ /$V_{{\mathrm{PO}}_6} $ polyhedron volume ratio of Pnma-NaPO3 shows that the PO6 octahedron is regular in the whole calculated pressure range, and the compressibility of NaO12 polyhedron is greater than that of PO6 octahedron. The electronic structure calculation shows that the 3p and 3s orbitals of P are strongly mixed with 2p orbitals of O in the PO6 octahedron of Pnma-NaPO3, and the P―O bond exhibits strong covalency, which plays a key role in stabilizing the orthorhombic perovskite structure. -
