Face Centered

A tight-binding Ni–Hf potential is constructed by fitting some of the ground-state properties, such as the cohesive energy, lattice constants, and the elastic constants of some Ni–Hf alloys. The constructed potential is verified to be realistic by reproducing some static and dynamic properties of the system, such as the melting points and thermal expansion coefficients for the pure Ni and Hf as well as some of the equilibrium compounds, through molecular dynamics simulation. Applying the constructed potential, molecular dynamics simulations are performed to compare the relative stability of the face-centered-cubic (fcc)/hexagonal close-packed (hcp) solid solutions to their disordered counterparts as a function of solute concentration. It is found that the solid solutions become unstable and transform into the disordered states spontaneously, when the solute concentrations exceed the two critical solid solubilities, i.e., 25 at.% Ni for hcp Hf-rich solid solution and 18 at.% Hf for fcc Ni-based solid solution, respectively. This allows us to determine that the glass-forming ability/range of the Ni–Hf system is within 25–82 at.% Ni. Interestingly, simulations also reveal for the first time, that two mixed regions exist in which an amorphous phase coexists with a crystalline phase, and at about 18 at.% Ni, the hcp lattice turns into a new metastable phase identified to be face-centered orthorhombic structure.

Employing the n-body potentials of the Ni–Zr and Ni–Ti systems, we performed molecular dynamics simulation to study the relative stability of the terminal solid solutions versus the corresponding amorphous states as a function of solute concentrations. The terminal solid solutions transformed into amorphous states spontaneously when the solute concentrations were beyond the maximum allowable values; i.e., the critical solubilities were determined to be 14 at.% Zr in Ni and 25 at.% Ni in Zr for Ni–Zr system and 38 at.% Ti in Ni and 15 at.% Ni in Ti for the Ni–Ti system. The physical implication of the critical concentrations, as well as their correlation with the glass-forming abilities of the Ni–Zr and Ni–Ti systems, is discussed.
