ABSTRACTWe present a first principles thermodynamic study of O ad-atom and vacancy formation on the AO- and BO2-terminated (001) surfaces of the PbTiO3 (PTO) and LaMnO3 (LMO) cubic perovskites. Our results show that, owing to the highly energetically unfavorable nature of O vacancy formation on these surfaces, O vacancies appear only at high temperatures and practically irrelevant low pressures on the (T, p) surface phase diagram. In contrast, effortless formation of O ad-atoms on the surfaces is encountered at practically achievable pressures and temperatures. Above room temperature and close to atmospheric pressures, we predict clean PbO and TiO2-terminated (001) PTO surfaces as the stable surface phases while partially or fully O ad-atom covered surfaces are found to be more stable for LMO. These results are consistent with the observation that LMO is far more active towards oxidation catalysis than PTO.

AbstractThermal vacancy formation correlated with atomic ordering was modelled in B2-ordering A-B binary intermetallics. Ising Hamiltonian was implemented with a specific thermodynamic formalism for thermal vacancy formation based on the phase equilibria in a lattice gas composed of atoms and vacancies. Extensive calculations within the Bragg-Williams approximation [1] were followed by Semi-Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (SGCMC) simulations. It has been demonstrated that for the atomic pair-interaction energies favouring vacancy formation on A-atom sublattice, equilibrium concentrations of vacancies and antisite defects result mutually proportional in well defined temperature ranges. The effect observed both in stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric (both A-rich and B-rich) binary alloys was interpreted as a tendency for triple defect formation. In B-rich alloys vacancy concentration did not extrapolate to zero at 0 K, which indicated the formation of constitutional vacancies. Energetic conditions for the occurrence of the effects were analysed in detail. The modelled temperature dependence of vacancy concentration in the B2-ordering A-B binaries with triple defects will be included in the Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations of chemical ordering kinetics in these systems with reference to the experimental results obtained for NiAl [2].

ABSTRACTFor the understanding of the properties of the technically important intermetallic compounds as transition metal aluminides and silicides the understanding of atomic defect properties is pivotal. From recent positron lifetime studies high or low values for the effective vacancy formation enthalpy were found for close-packed or for more open-structured bcc type compounds, respectively, which can be well understood theoretically. In B2-FeAl the vacancy migration enthalpy could be additionally derived at high temperatures from vacancy equilibration processes. It is shown here by a study on B2-FeAl in comparison to the positron annihilation experiments that the thermal formation and migration of defects can be specifically investigated by time-dependent length-change experiments at high temperatures by the defect equilibration behavior after temperature changes. With the present data on vacancy formation and migration the wide variation of the transition-metal self-diffusivities in intermetallic compounds can be understood.
