The simulation model is deformed by uniaxial tension or compression in each of [111], [11-2], and [1-10] directions, respectively, before shifting the lattice to calculate the GSF curve. Simulation results show that the values of unstable stacking fault energy(γusf), stable stacking fault energy(γsf), and unstable twin fault energy(γutf) of the three elements can change with the preloaded tensile or compressive stress in different directions.The ratio of γsf/γusf, which is related to the energy barrier for full dislocation nucleation, and the ratio of γutf/γusf, which is related to the energy barrier for twinning formation are plotted each as a function of the preloading stress. The results of this study reveal that the stress state can change the energy barrier of defect nucleation in the crystal lattice, and thereby can play an important role in the deformation mechanism of nanocrystalline material.展开更多

The L10 ordered structure of FePt is relaxed from a trial fcc structure. The defect formation energies are calculated. The vacancy formation energies of Fe and Pt are 1.89 eV and 2.11 eV respectively. The antisite formation energy of Fe in Pt sublattice is 0.35 eV. The antisite formation energy of Pt in Fe sublattice is 0.09 eV. The tendency of the vacancy formation energy is in agreement with other calculation. The point defect structure types are Pt antisite in rich-Pt side and Fe antisite in rich-Fe side.展开更多

The results show that the coalescence is driven by releasing the atomic energy of the coalesced zone. The deformation, which is induced by substitutional and vacancy diffusion during the coalescence, makes the coalesced cluster disorder. If the summation of the thermal energy and the released atomic energy is large enough to keep the disorder state, the clusters form a metastable liquid droplet; otherwise, the clusters coalesce into a solid cluster when the coalesced cluster reaches the equilibrium state, and the coalesced cluster experiences liquid to solid ordering changes during the coalescence of a solid Au767 with a liquid Ag767 and a liquid Au767 with a liquid Ag767. The centre of figure of the cluster system is shifted during the coalescence process, and higher coalescence temperature causes larger shift degree.展开更多

The results show that the ground electronic state is x^9∑g+. The pair potential data are fitted with a Murrell-Sorbie analytical potential function. The U-U embedded atom method (EAM) interatomic potential is determined based on the generalized gradient approximation calculation within the framework of the density functional theory using Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof exchange-correlation functional at the spin-polarized level. The physical properties, such as the cohesive energy, the lattice constant, the bulk modulus, the shear modulus, the sc/fec relative energy, the hep/fce rela- tive energy, the shear modulus and the monovacaney formation energy are used to evaluate the EAM potential parameters. The U-U pair potential determined by the first principle calculations is in agreement with that defined by the EAM potential parameters. The EAM calculated formation energy of the monovacancy in the fee structure is also found to be in close agreement with DFT calculation.展开更多
