Development of an interatomic potential for phosphorus impurities in α-iron
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the derivation of an interatomic potential for the iron–phosphorus system based primarily on ab initio data. Transferability in this system is extremely problematic, and the potential is intended specifically to address the problem of radiation damage and point defects in iron containing low concentrations of phosphorus atoms. Some preliminary molecular dynamics calculations show that P strongly affects point defect migration. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version)

Effect of Fe segregation on the migration of a non-symmetric 5 tilt grain boundary in Al
We present an analysis, based upon atomistic simulation data, of the effect of Fe impurities on grain boundary migration in Al. The first step is the development of a new interatomic potential for Fe in Al. This potential provides an accurate description of Al–Fe liquid diffraction data and the bulk diffusivity of Fe in Al. We use this potential to determine the physical parameters in the Cahn–...
متن کاملEffects of electrolyte impurities on the current efficiency during aluminium electrolysis
Impurities enter the electrolyte mainly from the consumable carbon anode and aluminium oxide. Important impurity elements are iron, silicon, phosphorus and sulfur. Metallic impurities such as iron and silicon tend to codeposit at the cathode, while dissolved phosphorus and sulfur species also affect the current efficiency for aluminium production. In modern industrial cells more impurities end ...
متن کاملSimulation of the interaction between Fe impurities and point defects in V
We report improved results of atomistic modeling of V-Fe alloys. We introduced an electronic structure embedding approach to improve the description of the point defects in first-principles calculations, by including the semicore electrons in some V atoms those near the interstitial where the semicore levels are broadened but not those further from the point defect. This enables us to combine g...
متن کاملInteratomic potentials for materials with interacting electrons
Evidence for the significant part played by magnetism in the picture of interatomic interactions in iron and iron-based alloys has recently emerged from density functional studies of the structure of radiation induced defects. In this paper we examine the range of validity of the currently available model interatomic potentials for magnetic iron, investigate the effect of electron–electron inte...
متن کاملThe Effect of Flux type and Oxygen Blowing on Simultaneous Removal of Phosphorus and Sulfur from Molten Iron
This research was conducted to study the effect of lime based Flux with the composition of CaO-20%CaF2-8%FeO on simultaneous removal of phosphorus and Sulfur from hot metal. The effects of Na2O and oxygen blowing were also studied. The experiments were performed using an induction furnace and hot metal produced in Isfahan Steel Company in the temperature range 1350-1450 ºC...
