摘要
The influence of Ni on the bcc-Fe/ε-Cu interface was investigated by means of first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT). To identify the most preferred energetic site for Ni atom, the atom model of ε-Cu precipitation in bcc-Fe was built, the segregation energies of Ni atom at different sites of bcc-Fe/ε-Cu interface was calculated, and the effect of Ni on the interfacial binding was discussed as well. From the calculations based on Rice-Wang model, it could be found that Ni atom induced enhancement effect on the interface when in the lowest segregation energy state. And the work of adhesion of the interface with Ni segregation was 286.7 mJ·m-2, higher than the Ni free one that was 279.8 mJ·m-2, which indicated that Ni segregation made the interface system more stable. The result of the calculated electronic structure showed that when Ni segregated at the bcc-Fe/ε-Cu interface, the electrons around Ni increased, and the orientation of electron clouds between Ni and its neighboring atoms was enhanced; at the meantime, the density of atoms (DOS) of Cu and Fe atom near the Ni atom moved to the bond state somewhat, which made the interface more stable. © Editorial Office of Chinese Journal of Rare Metals.
