摘要: 摘要:本文主要研究了反萤石结构镁化硅材料的平衡结构特征和高温下的热学性质和力学性质。采用密度泛函理论框架下的超软赝势和广义梯度近似计算了Mg2Si的晶胞常数、原胞体积、能带结构和弹性常数等基础性质,该材料在高温下的体积也在本文中给出。计算获得的弹性常数与实验值是相符的。接着,我们采用晶格动力学方法研究了Mg2Si晶体的声子能带,我们发现Mg2Si这种半导体材料的声子能带的光学支和声学支发生了交叠。采用同样的方法还计算得到了0—1300K温度范围和0—7.48GPa压强范围内的部分热学性质,其中性质包括了Debye特征温度。我们的计算结果与已有的实验值和前人的理论研究结果是一致的。

Abstract: The structural and thermoelasticity of antifluorite magnesium silicide at high temperatures were studied by using the plane-wave pseudo-potential method in the framework of density functional theory. The bulk ground-state quantities such as lattice constants, cell volumes, band structures and elastic constants were calculated. It showed that the elastic constants of Mg2Si were well consistent with the experimental data under ambient conditions. The crystal cell volume and bulk modulus of Mg2Si as functions of applied temperature were also presented. The lattice dynamics was applied to determine the phonon dispersion curves. To complete the fundamental characterisation of this crystal, the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), isochoric heat capacities and Debye temperature of Mg2Si in the whole temperature range from 0 K to 1300 K and pressure range from 0 GPa to 7.48 GPa were investigated. The results were in favourable agreement with the previous theoretical calculations and the existing experimental data.
