Electronic, magnetic and elastic properties of 蔚-phases Fe3X(X=B, C, N) from density-functional theory calculations
摘要
First principles calculations have been performed for 蔚-phases Fe3X(X=B/C/N) with hexagonal close-packed Fe sublattices. The calculated equilibrium structural parameters of 蔚-Fe3C and 蔚-Fe3N are in agreement with experimental results. The crystal structure of the 蔚-Fe3B is predicted. In the view of the formation energy, the phase stabilities grow up from 蔚-Fe3B, 胃-Fe3N, 蔚-Fe3C, 胃-Fe3C, 胃-Fe3B to 蔚-Fe3N. The bonding nature in 蔚-Fe3X (X=B/C/N) is described as a complex mixture of covalent, ionic and metallic characters. The average magnetic moments (Ms) of the 蔚-Fe3B, 蔚-Fe3C and 蔚-Fe3N are 1.53, 1.61 and 1.66 渭B/atom, respectively. The Ms of Fe are 2.17, 2.23 and 2.25 渭B in 蔚-Fe3B, 蔚-Fe3C and 蔚-Fe3N, respectively. The Ms of B/C/N are 鈭?.39/鈭?.26/鈭?.08 渭B.The Debye temperatures of 蔚-Fe3X (X=B/C/N) are predicted as 427, 565 and 555 K.
