Factors determining the average atomic volumes in intermetallic compounds.

نویسنده

  • L Pauling
چکیده

In formation of an intermetallic compound from the elementary metals there is usually a contraction in volume. Electron transfer leading to the charge states M(+) and M(-) with increase in valence and decrease in volume explains the more than 2-fold range in contraction for different compounds in the same binary system. In a more thorough analysis, the better packing of atoms of different sizes also needs to be considered.

Valence, coordination number, and PAV cells in metallic rare earth compounds

— Polyhedral atomic volumes, Voronoi volumes, generalized coordination numbers, and Pauling's metallic valences are given for 24 intermetallic rare earth compounds. The results clearly indicate that as much as 33 % rare earth isovalent volume contraction can occur upon compound formation while the atomic volumes of aluminum and the transition elements are nearly constant. Earlier discussions of...

Revealing Tendencies in the Electronic Structures of Polar Intermetallic Compounds

The quest for solid-state materials with tailored chemical and physical features stimulates the search for general prescriptions to recognize and forecast their electronic structures providing valuable information about the experimentally determined bulk properties at the atomic scale. Although the concepts first introduced by Zintl and Hume–Rothery help to understand and forecast the bonding m...

Dendrite Growth Kinetics in Undercooled Melts of Intermetallic Compounds

Solidification needs an undercooling to drive the solidification front. If large undercoolings are achieved, metastable solid materials are solidified from the undercooled melt. Containerless processing provides the conditions to achieve large undercoolings since heterogeneous nucleation on container walls is completely avoided. In the present contribution both electromagnetic and electrostatic...

Dislocations interaction induced structural instability in intermetallic Al2Cu

Intermetallic precipitates are widely used to tailor mechanical properties of structural alloys but are often destabilized during plastic deformation. Using atomistic simulations, we elucidate structural instability mechanisms of intermetallic precipitates associated with dislocation motion in a model system of Al2Cu. Interaction of non-coplanar <001> dislocation dipoles during plastic deformat...
