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 کاملTantalum Carbide and Nitride Diffusion Barriers for Cu Metallisation
The reactions in the Si/TaC/Cu and Si/Ta2N/Cu metallisation systems were investigated by x-ray diffraction, Rutherford backscattering, scanning electron microscope and the transmission electron microscopy. The results were then combined with the assessed ternary SiTa-C, Ta-C-Cu, Si-Ta-N and Ta-N-Cu phase diagrams. It was found that both barriers ultimately failed due to diffusion of Cu through ...
متن کاملFirst principles study of oxygen vacancy defects in tantalum pentoxide
First principles total energy calculations were performed to characterize oxygen vacancy defects in tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5). A simplified version of the crystalline orthorhombic phase of Ta2O5 was used in this study. Results indicate that O vacancies in Ta2O5 can be broadly classified based on their location in the lattice. One type of vacancy that occupies the ‘‘in-plane’’ sites displays de...
