摘要

探究新型磁性Heusler合金对于开发新一代智能传感材料具有重要的意义。本工作采用第一性原理计算对8种新型A2BTi型磁性功能合金,包括3种钴基合金(Co2MnTi、Co2FeTi和Co2NiTi)、3种铁基合金(Fe2MnTi、Fe2CoTi和Fe2NiTi)以及2种镍基合金(Ni2FeTi、Ni2CoTi),在四方晶格畸变过程中的相稳定性演化进行了理论计算,并对其L21相稳定性演变规律及背后机制进行了探讨。研究发现,价电子浓度和磁性是决定A2BTi型合金L21相结构稳定性的关键参数。针对理论计算筛选出的L21相为非最稳定结构的Co2NiTi、Fe2NiTi和Ni2CoTi,分别制备了合金样品并对其晶体结构、相变行为、磁性能、电阻和力学性能进行了实验研究。结果表明,室温下Co2NiTi由有序面心立方L12结构基体相和六方Co3Ti型第二相构成,Fe2NiTi由六方Fe2Ti型基体相和四方FeNi型第二相构成,Ni2CoTi为单一的Ni3Ti型六方结构。Co2NiTi、Fe2NiTi和Ni2CoTi均不存在一阶结构相变,这可能与其L21结构低的晶格稳定性致使其难以被形成有关。Fe2NiTi和Ni2CoTi具有较强的磁性且存在二阶Curie磁性转变。Fe2NiTi具有高的压缩强度(1280 MPa)、中等压缩应变(5%)及较大电阻(120 μΩ·cm),而Co2NiTi和Ni2CoTi具有优异的压缩塑性和较小的电阻,这3种合金不同的功能行为可能与其价电子浓度差异带来的化学键中金属键和共价键组分比例不同有关。

Abstract

Exploring novel magnetic Heusler alloys is of great significance for the development of a new generation of smart sensing materials. The A2BC type magnetic alloy, which comprises transition magnetic metal elements A and B and III-V main group element C (p-block element), has gained significant attention due to its various physical and chemical properties, including semimetallic magnetism, ferromagnetic shape memory effect, multicaloric effect, and superconductive effect. In this study, eight new A2BTi type magnetic functional alloys, including three Co-based alloys (Co2MnTi, Co2FeTi, and Co2NiTi), three Fe-based alloys (Fe2MnTi, Fe2CoTi, and Fe2NiTi), and two Ni-based alloys (Ni2FeTi and Ni2CoTi), were investigated for their phase stability against tetragonal distortion using first-principles calculation. The underlying mechanism for the stability of the L21 phase was discussed. The results show that valence electron concentration and magnetism are the key parameters in determining the structural stability of L21 phase in A2BTi type alloys. Co2NiTi, Fe2NiTi, and Ni2CoTi alloy samples, whose L21 structure is an unstable phase, were prepared, and their crystal structure, phase transformation, magnetic properties, electrical resistance, and mechanical properties were investigated experimentally. The results show that at 298 K, Co2NiTi is composed of an ordered face-centered cubic L12 structured matrix phase and a hexagonal Co3Ti-type second phase, Fe2NiTi is composed of a hexagonal Fe2Ti-type matrix phase and a tetragonal FeNi-type second phase, and Ni2CoTi has a single hexagonal Ni3Ti-type structure. The fact that no compound undergoes a first-order structural phase transition may be due to the weak stabilities of their L21 phases. Fe2NiTi and Ni2CoTi have strong magnetic properties and undergo a second-order Curie magnetic transition during cooling. Fe2NiTi has high compressive strength (1280 MPa), moderate compressive strain (5%), and large resistance (120 μΩ·cm), while Co2NiTi and Ni2CoTi have excellent compressive plasticity and small resistance. This phenomenon may be related to the different proportions of metallic and covalent bonding caused by the difference in valence electron concentration of the three alloys.
