In this paper, the structural stability, adhesion and chemical bonding of the TiO2 (110)/TiAl (111) interface are investigated by the first-principles calculations. We predict the maximum adhesion energy of 1.91J/m2 of the TiO2/TiAl interface. We also calculated the Nb doped interface, and found that the doped Nb atom prefers to replace the Ti atom at the second layer of TiAl slab. The atomic geometry and density of states are analyzed. The results show that the effect of doped Nb is localized and insignificant on the TiO2 (110)/TiAl(111) interface.

AbstractFirst-principles calculations were carried out to explore the structural stability, elastic moduli, ductile or brittle behaviour, anisotropy, dynamical stability, and thermodynamic properties of pure Al and CeT2Al20 (T = Ti, V, Cr, Nb, and Ta) intermetallics. The calculated formation enthalpy and phonon frequencies confirm that these intermetallics satisfy the conditions for structural stability. The elastic constants Cij, elastic moduli B, G, and E, and the hardness Hv indicate these intermetallics have higher hardness and the better resistance against deformation than pure Al. The values of Poisson’s ratio (v) and B/G indicate that CeT2Al20 intermetallics are all brittle materials. The anisotropic constants and acoustic velocities confirm that CeT2Al20 intermetallics are all anisotropic, but CeV2Al20, CeNb2Al20, and CeTa2Al20 are nearly isotropic. Importantly, the calculated thermodynamic parameters show that CeT2Al20 intermetallics exhibit better thermodynamic properties than pure Al at high temperature.

We propose lead-free potassium iodide perovskite solid solutions KBI3 with B-site mixing between Ge/Sn and Mg as potential candidates for photocatalysts based on systematic first-principles calculations.
