Grain refining is one of the most important issues in the applications of Mg alloys, which directly determines mechanical properties and deformability. Therefore the understanding of grain refining mechanism during solidification will be benefit to develop new grain refiners. Herein refining role was elucidated by the first principles calculations based on adsorption behavior of a Mg atom on the closest-packed planes of grain refiners (Zr (001), Al2Y(311) and Al4C3(102)). Taking into account different sites, the site with the maximum adsorption energy value generally corresponded to the most possible location. The adsorption energy results show that the possible refining turn follows Al4C3(102)>Zr (001)>Al2Y(311). Meanwhile, the structural optimization confirmed that the Mg atom connected with two C atoms on the top of zig-zag plane of Al4C3(102), three Zr atoms at the hcp position on Zr (001), and two Y atoms and one Al atom at the bottom of zig-zag plane of Al2Y(311). The density of states revealed that the variation of d-orbital electrons of Mg atom became apparent during adsorption process. The values of Mulliken charges were 0.898 e in Al4C3(102), 0.410 e in Zr (001) and 0.245 e in Al2Y(311), respectively. This tendency agrees well with the previous experimental results. It indicates the adsorption energy on the closest-packed planes can be regarded as a prerequisite to select new grain refiners for Mg alloys in future.

In this study, we investigated the influence of the interaction between graphene and other materials as a basis for controlling the electronic structure of nanocarbon materials. First-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed on the optimized structure, adsorption energies and electronic states when copper and aluminum atoms were placed on graphene. As a result, we found that copper and aluminum are stable at the bridge and the hollow site, respectively. It was found that the adsorption energy of aluminum atom on graphene is larger than that of copper atom. It is considered that the difference in adsorption energy is caused by the difference in the dominant electron orbitals of the copper atom and the aluminum atom.

Phosphorene, due to its large surface-to-volume ratio and high chemical activity, shows potential application for gas sensing. In order to explore its sensing performance, we have performed the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the perfect and C-doped zigzag phosphorene nanoribbons (C-ZPNRs) with a series of small gas molecules (NH3, NO, NO2, H2, O2, CO, and CO2) adsorbed. The calculated results show that NH3, CO2, O2 gas molecules have relatively larger adsorption energies than other gas molecules, indicating that phosphorene is more sensitive to these gas molecules. For C-ZPNRs configuration, the adsorption energy of NO and NO2 increase and that of other gas molecules decrease. Interestingly, the adsorption energy of hydrogen is −0.229 eV, which may be suitable for hydrogen storage. It is hoped that ZPNRs may be a good sensor for (NH3, CO2 and O2) and C-ZPNRs may be useful for H2 storage.

We report a first-principles calculations to study the effect of a vanadium-carbon (VC) monolayer on the adsorption process of tungsten (W) and carbon (C) atoms onto tungsten-carbide (WC) (0001) surface. The essential configuration for the study is a supercell of hexagonal WC with a (0001) surface. When adding the VC monolayer, we employed the lowest energy configuration by examining various configurations. The total energy of the system is computed as a function of the W or C adatoms? height from the surface. The adsorption of a W and C adatom on a clean WC (0001) surface is compared with that of a W and C adatom on a WC (0001) surface with VC monolayer. The calculations show that the adsorption energy increased for both W and C adatoms in presence of the VC monolayer. Our results provide a fundamental understanding that can explain the experimentally observed phenomena of inhibited grain growth during sintering of WC or WC-Co powders in presence of VC.
