چکیده

Modeling structural and mechanical properties of intermetallic compounds and alloys requires detailed knowledge of their interatomic interactions. The first two papers of this series @Phys. Rev. B 56, 7905 ~1997!; 58, 8967 ~1998!# derived first-principles interatomic potentials for transition-metal ~TM! aluminides using generalized pseudopotential theory ~GPT!. Those papers focused on binary alloys of aluminum with first-row transition metals and assessed the ability of GPT potentials to reproduce and elucidate the alloy phase diagrams of Al-Co and Al-Ni. This paper addresses the phase diagrams of the binary alloy Al-Cu and the ternary systems Al-Co-Cu and Al-Co-Ni, using GPT pair potentials calculated in the limit of vanishing transition-metal concentration. Despite this highly simplifying approximation, we find rough agreement with the known lowtemperature phase diagrams, up to 50% total TM concentration provided the Co fraction is below 25%. Full composition-dependent potentials and many-body interactions would be required to correct deficiencies at higher Co concentration. Outside this troublesome region, the experimentally determined stable and metastable phases all lie on or near the convex hull of a scatter plot of energy versus composition. We verify, qualitatively, reported solubility ranges extending binary alloys into the ternary diagram in both Al-Co-Cu and Al-Co-Ni. Finally, we reproduce previously conjectured transition-metal positions in the decagonal quasicrystal phase.

An interatomic potential study of the properties of gallium nitride

A set of interatomic pair potentials were derived for gallium nitride within the shellmodel approach. It was shown that the potential set successfully reproduces the properties of the fourfold-coordinated wurtzite and zinc-blende structures as well as the sixfold-coordinated rocksalt structure. The high-pressure phase transition from wurtzite to rock-salt structure is correctly described yieldi...

On the basis of ab initio density-functional calculations we have analyzed the character of the interatomic bonding in the intermetallic compounds Al3sV,Tid with the D022 and L12 structures. In all structures we found an enhanced charge density along the AlsV,Tid bonds, a characteristic feature of covalent bonding. The bonds in Al3V with the D022 structure are more saturated and stronger than t...
