Electronic properties of the H-, B-and C-doped = 0 interface in Ni based Superalloys are studied by means of the self-consistent fullpotential linearized augmented-plane-wave method under generalized gradient approximation. It is shown that all the three impurities, H, B and C prefer to occupy the Ni-rich octahedral interstitial sites at the = 0 interface. The calculated charge transfer suggests that the effect of H, B and C on the = 0 interface is localized. For the B and C cases, due to the hybridization between the p states of the impurity and the d states of the nearest-neighbor nickel atoms, the effect of both B and C is to strengthen the = 0 interface. In contrast, for the H case, the H-s/Ni-d hybridization results in a strong weakening of interplanar bonding and a slight enhancement of intraplanar Ni-Ni bonding on the interface planes, so that the effect of H is to decrease the cohesive strength of = 0 interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
