First-principles calculations and thermodynamic modeling of the Yb-Ni binary system

Journal Article Hu, Yong-Jie ; Wang, Yi ; Firdosy, Samad A. ; ... - Calphad

A complete thermodynamic description of the Yb-Ni binary system is developed by means of the CALculation ofPHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) method in combination with first-principles calculations based on density func-tional theory (DFT) and available experimental data in the literature. Finite temperature thermodynamicproperties of the Yb-Ni intermetallic compounds are predicted using the quasi-harmonic approach, where first-principles phonon calculations are performed to calculate the lattice vibrational entropy. The associate solutionmodel is used to describe the complex thermodynamic behavior of the liquid phase. The calculated phase dia-gram agrees well the experimental phase equilibrium data in the literature. By the coupling of CALPHADmodeling with first-principlesmore »« less

Solution-based thermodynamic modeling of the Ni-Al-Mo system using first-principles calculations

Journal Article Zhou, S H ; Wang, Y ; Chen, L -Q ; ... - Calphad

A solution-based thermodynamic description of the ternary Ni–Al–Mo system is developed here, incorporating first-principles calculations and reported modeling of the binary Ni–Al, Ni–Mo and Al–Mo systems. To search for the configurations with the lowest energies of the N phase, the Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT) was employed and combined with VASP. The liquid, bcc and γ-fcc phases are modeled as random atomic solutions, and the γ'-Ni3Al phase is modeled by describing the ordering within the fcc structure using two sublattices, summarized as (Al,Mo,Ni)0.75(Al,Mo,Ni)0.25. Thus, γ-fcc and γ'-Ni3Al are modeled with a single Gibbs free energy function with appropriate treatment ofmore »« less

First-principles calculations of lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties for Yb₁₄MnSb₁₁

Journal Article Wang, Yi ; Hu, Yong-Jie ; Firdosy, Samad A. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Systematic first-principles calculations were performed to study the lattice dynamics of Yb₁₄MnSb₁₁ and hence to obtain a wide range of its thermodynamic properties at high temperatures. Here, the calculated results were analyzed in terms of the lattice contribution and the electronic contribution, together with a comparison with a collection of experimental thermochemical data. At 0 K, the electronic density of states showed the typical feature of a p-type semiconductor—a small amount of unoccupied electronic states exclusively made of the major spin by a range of ~0.6 eV above the Fermi energy. It showed that the Mn atom had a ferromagneticmore »« less

Thermodynamic modeling of the La-Te system aided by first-principles calculations

Journal Article Hu, Yong-Jie ; Paz Soldan Palma, Jorge ; Wang, Yi ; ... - Calphad

A complete thermodynamic description of the La-Te binary system is developed by means of CALculation of PHAse Diagram (CALPHAD) method in combination with available experimental data in the literature and the present first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The intermetallic phases with homogeneity ranges, La3-xTe4 and LaTe2-x, are modeled using a two-sublattice (La,Va)3(Te)4 model and a three-sublattice (La)1(Te)1(Te,Va)1 model based on their structure features, respectively. The intermetallic phases, LaTe and LaTe3, are treated as stoichiometric compounds. The thermodynamic properties of the intermetallic compounds and their corresponding end members at finite temperatures are predicted using first-principles quasi-harmonic approach.

Thermodynamic Assessment of the Ag-Se System Aided by First-Principles Calculations

Journal Article Li, Zhi ; Shang, Shun-Li ; Shen, Jianyun ; ... - Journal of Phase Equilibria and Diffusion

The substitution of Ag for Cu in CuIn_xGa_1-xSe₂-based photovoltaic absorber layers can be used to adjust the bandgap energy to better optimize the overall cell efficiency. Based on available thermochemical, equilibrium, and structural data, the Ag-Se system has been assessed and modeled. Given the order-disorder structure transition Ag₂Se, the 2- and 3-sublattice models were used to represent the low- and high-temperature phases of the intermetallic compound respectively. Density functional theory based first-principles calculations were used to calculate the Gibbs energy of formation of the end-member compounds. A set of modeling parameters was obtained by the CALculation of PHAse Diagram approachmore »« less
