摘要
Mechanical properties and electronic structure of MgCu2, Mg2 Ca and MgZn2 phases were investigated by means of first principles calculations from CASTEP program based on density functional theory（DFT）. The calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with the experimental and literature values. The calculated heat of formation and cohesive energies showed that MgCu2 has the strongest alloying ability and structural stability. Elastic constants of MgCu2, Mg2 Ca and MgZn2 were calculated, and the bulk moduli, shear moduli, elastic moduli and Poisson ratio were derived. The calculated results show that MgCu2, Mg2 Ca and MgZn2 are all ductile phases. Among the three phases, MgCu2 has the strongest stiffness and the plasticity of MgZn2 phase is the best. Melting points of the three phases were predicted using cohesive energy and elastic constants. Density of states（DOS）, Mulliken population, electron occupation number and charge density difference were discussed. Finally, Debye temperature was calculated and discussed.
通过基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法,对MgCu2,Mg2Ca和MgZn2的力学性能和电子结构进行计算,计算所得晶格参数与实验值和文献值相吻合。合金形成热和结合能的计算结果表明,MgCu2具有最强的合金形成能力和结构稳定性。计算了MgCu2,Mg2Ca和MgZn2的弹性常数,推导了体模量、剪切模量、弹性模量和泊松比。结果表明,MgCu2、Mg2Ca和MgZn2均为延性相,MgCu2的刚度最大,MgZn2的塑性最好。通过对结合能和弹性常数的计算,预测了MgCu2、Mg2Ca和MgZn2的熔点。通过对态密度(DOS)、Mulliken布居数、电子占据数和差分电荷密度的计算,分析了MgCu2、Mg2Ca和MgZn2的结构稳定性和力学性能机制。最后,计算和讨论了3种金属间化合物的Debye温度。
