ABSTRACTThe BiCuSeO has been proved to be one of the best oxide-based thermoelectric materials in recent years. Its electric properties have been widely studied, yet the lattice thermal conductivity was only discussed roughly. Our investigation suggests that the anharmonic vibration and the interlayer-interaction plays the crucial role in reducing the intrinsic lattice thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity has been calculated based on quasi-harmonic approximation and detailed contribution have been discussed. The calculated data have good agreement with the experimental data.

We investigated the structural stabilities of the intermetallics and the solid-state phase transformations induced by lattice vibration effects in the Al–Zr system by first-principles calculations. The calculated lattice parameters of all the phases and the phonon dispersion relations for pure Al and Zr are in good agreement with the experimental data. AlZr(oC8), Al4Zr5 (hP18), and Al3Zr5 (tI32) are predicted to be the high-temperature phases. To study the structural stabilities at high temperatures, the thermodynamic properties of the intermetallics are calculated via the linear response approach within the harmonic approximation. Thanks to the calculated enthalpies of formation at high temperatures, Al3Zr5 is predicted to be stabilized above 1163 K with respect to AlZr2 and Al2Zr3, in good agreement with the phase transformation temperature (1273 K) in the experimental phase diagram.

AbstractQuantum molecular dynamic simulations have been employed to study the equation of state (EOS) of fluid helium under shock compressions. The principal Hugoniot is determined from EOS, where corrections from atomic ionization are added onto the calculated data. Our simulation results indicate that principal Hugoniot shows good agreement with gas gun and laser driven experiments, and maximum compression ratio of 5.16 is reached at 106 GPa.
