STRUCTURE, BONDING, AND ADHESION OF MATERIALS INTERFACES WITH DENSITY FUNCTIONAL THEORY: Cr/Fe, SiC/Fe, MoSi2/Ni
نویسندگان
چکیده
SiC/Fe and MoSi2/Ni interfaces are investigated using first principles calculations in order to determine the structure of the interfaces and calculate ideal adhesion energies. As a baseline for comparison, calculations were also performed on the Cr/Fe interface, which shows strong adhesion, even stronger than the intrinsic adhesion of Fe. Both ceramic/metal interfaces show good adhesion. Evidence of Si-Fe and Si-Ni covalent bonding is seen at the respective interfaces.

Prediction of strong adhesion at the MoSi2/Fe interface
We report a spin-polarized periodic density functional theory investigation of the atomic structure, bonding, and ideal work of adhesion of the MoSi2/Fe interface, in order to explore the potential of MoSi2 as a protective coating for steel. We find that MoSi2 strongly adheres to Fe, with an ideal work of adhesion of 3.85 J/m for two low-index, low-strain interfaces. This value will be a lower ...
متن کاملStructure, magnetism, and adhesion at Cr/Fe interfaces from density functional theory
Properties of the Cr(100)/Fe(100) and Cr(110)/Fe(110) interfaces are investigated with spin-polarized density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (DFT-GGA) for electron exchange and correlation. Contrary to earlier predictions for a monolayer of Cr on bulk Fe, we find intermixing of Cr and Fe at the interface of thick films to be endothermic; hence here we focus on c...

We report a pseudopotential-based density functional theory (DFT) investigation of the interface between ZrC and bcc Fe. ZrC is a potential candidate for a protective coating for ferritic steels because of its favorable physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Here we predict the atomic structure, bonding, and ideal work of adhesion ðW ideal ad Þ of the interface formed between the most s...
متن کاملExploiting Covalency to Enhance Metal–Oxide and Oxide–Oxide Adhesion at Heterogeneous Interfaces
We employ first-principles density functional calculations to explore atomic-level interactions and predict the ideal work of adhesion at the SiO2/nickel and ZrO2/SiO2 interfaces. We find that chemical bonding at the interface serves to strengthen significantly interfaces formed with SiO2, which exhibits significant covalent bonding character, relative to those formed using more ionic oxides, s...
متن کاملAdhesion, stability, and bonding at metal/metal-carbide interfaces: Al/WC
We examine the relative stability and adhesion of the polar Al(1 1 1)/WC(0 0 0 1) interface using density functional theory. Relaxed atomic geometries and the ideal work of adhesion were calculated for six different interfacial structures, taking into account both Wand C-terminations of the carbide. The interfacial electronic structure was analyzed to determine the nature of metal/carbide bondi...
