The virtual crystal approximation (VCA) method based on the Cambridge Sequential Total Energy Package (CASTEP) was used to establish the TiVNbMo refractory high-entropy alloy structure model. The effects of different Ti contents on the elastic and thermodynamic properties of TixVNbMo (x = 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2.00) high entropy alloys were calculated. The lattice constants calculation results of TiVNbMo with equal atomic ratio match well with the experimental values of vacuum arc melting, indicating that the VCA method is suitable for the first-principles calculation of TixVNbMo random solid solution. The EOS equation of state is used to determine the energy and volume of the equilibrium structure of the alloy. The elastic constants of TixVNbMo (x = 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 2.00) high entropy alloys are calculated based on the body-centered cubic structure, and their Young’s modulus anisotropic three-dimensional contour stereograms are drawn. Moreover, the quasi-harmonic Debyeg-Grüneisen model is used to calculate the thermodynamic properties, such as thermal capacity, isothermal body modulus, volumetric thermal expansion coefficient, and Grüneisen parameter with Ti content and temperature.
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.
