摘要
Ab initio molecular dynamics calculations have been carried out to search for the ground state structure of Fe_(n)Ti_(13-n)clusters and measure the thermal expansion of Fe_(n)Ti_(13-n).The volume of Fe_(n)Ti_(13-n)clusters during thermal expansion is jointly determined by anharmonic interaction and magneto-volume effect.It has been found that Fe_(6)Ti_(7),Fe_9Ti_(4),Fe_(11)Ti_(2),and Fe_(13)clusters can exhibit the remarkable magneto-volume effect with abnormal volume behaviors and magnetic moment behaviors during thermal expansion.A prerequisite for the magneto-volume effect of Fe_(n)Ti_(13-n)clusters during thermal expansion has been revealed and the magnitude of the magneto-volume is also approximately determined.Furthermore,the magneto-volume behaviors of Fe_(n)Ti_(13-n)clusters are qualitatively characterized by the energy contour map.Our results shed light on the mechanism of the magneto-volume effect in Fe_(n)Ti_(13-n)clusters during thermal expansion,which can guide the design of nanomaterials with zero expansion or even controllable expansion properties.
