First-Principles Investigations on Structure Transformation, Elastic and Thermodynamic Properties of TiN under High Pressure
-
摘要: 利用基于密度泛函的第一性原理,计算了高压下TiN的结构转变、弹性和热力学性质。计算结果表明:在压力作用下,TiN经历了从NaCl型结构到CsCl型结构的转变,转变压力为348 GPa;TiN的弹性系数随着压力的增加呈线性增加规律。此外,还给出了德拜温度和热容量这两个重要热力学量与温度和(或)压力的依赖关系。Abstract: An investigation on the structure transformation, elastic and thermodynamic properties of TiN under high pressure is conducted using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the plane wave basis set. At elevated pressures TiN is predicted to undergo a structural phase transition from a relatively open NaCl-type (B1) structure into a denser CsCl-type (B2) structure. The predicted transition pressure is 348 GPa. The elastic constants, Debye temperature, and heat capacity each as a function of pressure and/or temperature of TiN are presented.
