Abstract

High-pressure phase transitions of AlB-type transition-metal diborides (TMB; TM = Zr, Sc, Ti, Nb, and Y) were systematically investigated using first-principles calculations. Upon subjecting to pressure, these TMB compounds underwent universal phase transitions from an AlB-type to a new high-pressure phase tP6 structure. The analysis of the atomistic mechanism suggests that the tP6 phases result from atomic layer folds of the AlB-type parent phases under pressure. Stability studies indicate that the tP6-structured ZrB, ScB, and NbB are stable and may be observed under high pressure and the tP6-structured TiB phase may be recovered at ambient pressure.

摘要

利用第一性原理计算系统地研究了AlB型过渡金属硼化物（TMB；TM = Zr、Sc、Ti、Nb和Y）的高压相变。在施加压力时，这些TMB化合物经历了从AlB型到新的高压相tP6结构的普遍相变。原子机制分析表明，tP6相是由AlB型母相在压力下的原子层折叠产生的。稳定性研究表明，具有tP6结构的ZrB、ScB和NbB是稳定的，可能在高压下被观察到，而具有tP6结构的TiB相可能在常压下恢复。
