The Moment

By the moment method established previously on the basis of the statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic properties of a strongly anharmonic face-centered and body-centered cubic crystal with point defect are considered. The thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp, the isothermal and adiabatic compressibility, etc. are calculated. Our calculated results of the thermal expansion coefficient, the specific heat Cv and Cp… of W, Nb, Au and Ag metals at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values. The anharmonic effects in extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in the single-shell model are considered. We have obtained a new formula for anharmonic contribution to the mean square relative displacement. The anharmonicity is proportional to the temperature and enters the phase change of EXAFS. Our calculated results of Debye–Waller factor and phase change in EXAFS of Cu at various temperatures agrees well with the measured values.

AbstractFirst-principles calculations are performed to investigate lattice parameters, elastic constants and 3D directional Young’s modulus E of nickel silicides (i.e., β-Ni_3Si, δ-Ni_2Si, θ-Ni_2Si, ε-NiSi, and θ-Ni_2Si), and thermodynamic properties, such as the Debye temperature, heat capacity, volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, at finite temperature are also explored in combination with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The calculated results are in a good agreement with available experimental and theoretical values. The five compounds demonstrate elastic anisotropy. The dependence on the direction of stiffness is the greatest for δ-Ni_2Si and θ-Ni_2Si, when the stress is applied, while that for β-Ni_3Si is minimal. The bulk modulus B reduces with increasing temperature, implying that the resistance to volume deformation will weaken with temperature, and the capacity gradually descend for the compound sequence of β-Ni_3Si > δ-Ni_2Si > θ-Ni_2Si > ε-NiSi > θ-Ni_2Si. The temperature dependence of the Debye temperature ΘD is related to the change of lattice parameters, and ΘD gradually decreases for the compound sequence of ε-NiSi > β-Ni_3Si > δ-Ni_2Si > θ-Ni_2Si > θ-Ni_2Si. The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient αV, isochoric heat capacity and isobaric heat capacity C _ p of nickel silicides are proportional to T ^3 at low temperature, subsequently, αV and C _ p show modest linear change at high temperature, whereas C _v obeys the Dulong-Petit limit. In addition, β-Ni_3Si has the largest capability to store or release heat at high temperature. From the perspective of solid state physics, the thermodynamic properties at finite temperature can be used to guide further experimental works and design of novel nickel–silicon alloys.
