摘要
Large auxetic properties of iron-gallium and iron-aluminum alloys have been investigated with both theoretical and experimental approaches. Tensile tests of single-crystal iron-gallium alloys with compositions of 12%-25% gallium were conducted to determine the composition dependent values of the Poisson's ratio. Systematic density functional calculations revealed a simple correlation between the Poisson's ratio and tetragonal shear modulus. We attribute the auxetic properties of these intermetallic alloys to the drastic reduction in C' with the presence of metalloid atoms in the DO(3)-type structures.
