ABSTRACTAlloying transition metal trialuminides such as Al3Nb with appropriate ternary elements may stabilize the ordered cubic Ll2 structure relative to the DO22 structure. This may enhance the symmetry related contributions to plastic flow, thereby aiding in overcoming the low ductility in the trialuminide systems. The present investigation was directed towards exploring the potential for obtaining new ternary Al3Nb-based intermetallics with the Ll2 structure. The effects of various ternary elements on the phase stability of A13Nb were studied by SEM, XRD, and EPMA. Results of the A13 Nb-X phase relationship studies are presented. Preliminary microhardness results on the ternary DO22 Al3Nb-X phases are also reported. The predictive capabilities of Pettifor's structural stability scheme are evaluated in the light of the present investigation.

The structural stability and magnetic properties of the cubic and tetragonal phases of Mn3Z (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn, Pb) Heusler alloys are studied by using first-principles calculations. It is found that with the increasing of the atomic radius of Z atom, the more stable phase varies from the cubic to the tetragonal structure. With increasing tetragonal distortion, the magnetic moments of Mn (A/C and B) atoms change in a regular way, which can be traced back to the change of the relative distance and the covalent hybridization between the atoms.

The cohesive properties and electronic structures versus the structural stability of transition-metal trialuminides YAl3, ZrAl3, and NbAl3 in their cubic L12, tetragonal DO22, and naturally stable forms (i.e., the DO19 structure for YAl3 and the DO23 structure for ZrAl3) have been investigated using a total energy local-density approach. The variation of structural stability with transition-metal constituent can be simply understood in terms of the bandfilling of the bonding states in the rigid band sense, with the valence electrons gradually filling the bonding states on going from YAl3, ZrAl3 to NbAl3. This leads to a phase transition from the cubic L12 structure (for YAl3) to the tetragonal DO22 structure (for NbAl3). It is argued that this criterion may also apply to explain the variation of the structural stability of other transition-metal compounds (such as transition-metal carbides, nitrides, silicides, etc.) that are dominated by covalent interactions between the transition-metal d and the metalloid p states.
