Ab-initio melting curve and principal Hugoniot of tantalum
We report first principles calculations of the melting curve and principal Hugoniot (P − V curve) of body centered cubic (bcc) tantalum in the pressure range 0-300 GPa. A description of lattice dynamics and thermal properties of bcc Ta using finite temperature density functional theory (DFT) is presented. The approach works within the projector augmented wave (PAW) implementation of DFT and exp...
متن کاملEquation of state of solid, liquid and gaseous tantalum from first principles
We present ab initio calculations of the phase diagram and the equation of state of Ta in a wide range of volumes and temperatures, with volumes from 9 to 180 Å/atom, temperature as high as 20 000 K, and pressure up to 7 Mbars. The calculations are based on first principles, in combination with techniques of molecular dynamics, thermodynamic integration, and statistical modeling. Multiple phase...
متن کاملChemistry Modification of High Oxygen-carbon Powder by Plasma Melting: Follow up to Complete the Story
State-of-the-art melting of tantalum and tantalum alloys has relied on electron beam (EB) or vacuum arc remelting (VAR) for commercial ingot production. Plasma arc melting (PAM) provides an alternative for melting tantalum that contains very high levels of interstitials where other melting techniques can not be applied. Previous work in this area centered on plasma arc melt quality and final in...
متن کاملFirst principles force field for metallic tantalum
We develop a many-body force field (FF) for tantalum based on extensive ab initio quantum mechanical (QM) calculations and illustrate its application with molecular dynamics (MD). As input data to the FF we use ab initio methods (LAPW-GGA) to calculate: (i) the zero temperature equation of state (EOS) of Ta for bcc, fcc, and hcp crystal structures for pressures up to ∼500 GPa, and (ii) elastic ...
متن کاملMelting curve of face-centered-cubic nickel from first-principles calculations
The melting curve of Ni up to 100 GPa has been calculated using first-principles methods based on density functional theory (DFT). We used two complementary approaches: (i) coexistence simulations with a reference system and then free-energy corrections between DFT and the reference system, and (ii) direct DFT coexistence using simulation cells including 1000 atoms. The calculated zero pressure...
