Effects of carbon vacancies on the structures, mechanical properties, and chemical bonding of zirconium carbides: a first-principles study

Abstract: Interstitial carbides are able to maintain structural stability even with a high concentration of carbon vacancies. This feature provides them with tunable properties through the design of carbon vacancies, and thus making it important to reveal how carbon vacancies affect their properties. In the present study, using first-principles, we have calculated the properties of a number of stable and metastable zirconium carbides ZrC1-x (x = 0 and 1/n, n = 2-8) which were predicted by the evolutionary algorithm USPE… Show more

“…Moreover, it is likely that VC 1−x compounds become to be ductile materials when x is higher than 1/3, suggesting that high content of missing carbon may lead to brittle-to-ductile transformation of VC 1−x compounds. This viewpoint is same to that reported recently [44]. is an indicator of the degree of directionality of covalent bond.…”

“…The evolutionary algorithm for structure prediction, as implemented in the USPEX code [36,37], has succeed in predicting many hereto unknown carbides [38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Using the USPEX code, we firstly performed variable-composition structure searches with up to 33 atoms in a unit cell for the V-C system at zero temperature and zero pressure.…”

“…Структурная вакансия представляет собой узел кристал-лической решетки, не занятый атомом. Соединения со структурными вакансиями в настоящее время актив-но исследуются в связи с уникальностью их физико-химических свойств [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. В зависимости от количества и способа размещения вакансий по узлам базисной кристаллической структуры возможно образование мно-жества разнообразных фаз и модификаций [1].…”
