Experimental and first-principles studies on the elastic properties of α-hafnium metal under pressure
Abstract
Compressional and shear wave velocities of the a phase of hafnium have been measured up to 10.4GPa at room temperature using ultrasonic interferometry in a multi-anvil apparatus. A finite strain equation of state analysis yielded Ks0 ¼ 110:4 ð5Þ GPa; G0 ¼ 54:7ð5Þ GPa; K0 s0 ¼ 3:7; andG0 0 ¼ 0:6 for the elastic bulk and shear moduli and their pressure derivatives at ambient conditions.Complementary to the experimental data, the single crystal elastic constants, the elastic anisotropy, and the unit cell axial ratio c/a of a-hafnium at high pressures were investigated by Density Functional Theory (DFT) based first principles calculations. A c/a value of 1.605 is predicted for a-Hf at 40GPa, which is in excellent agreement with previous experimental results. The low-pressure derivative of the shear modulus observed in our experimental data up to 10 GPa was found to originate from the elastic constant C44, which exhibits negligible pressure dependence within the current experimental pressure range. At higher pressures (>10GPa), C44 was predicted to soften and the shear wave velocity S trended to decrease with pressure, which can be interpreted as a precursor to the a-x transition similar to that observed in other group IV elements (titanium and zirconium).more »
