Data on the comprehensive first-principles diffusion study of the aluminum-magnesium system.

ABSTRACT: First-principles calculation of diffusion coefficients between Mg and Al is investigated comprehensively using density functional theory (DFT). The effect of different uncertainty sources arising from first principles calculations has been investigated systematically. These sources include the diffusion model, energetic, entropic and attempt frequency calculations. Variation in self and impurity diffusion coefficients of Mg and Al in stable phases are quantified using different DFT settings and compared with the experiments. Using the optimal DFT settings, diffusion coefficients in metastable phases of Al and Mg are predicted. The dataset refers to "An integrated experimental and computational study of diffusion and atomic mobility of the aluminum-magnesium system" [1].

First-principles study of the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of aluminium-doped magnesium alloys.

Project description:Magnesium-aluminum (Mg-Al) alloys are widely used in aerospace, automobile and medical equipment owing to their advantages of easy casting, high strength-to-mass ratio and good biocompatibility. The structural, mechanical, electronic and thermodynamic properties of MgxAly alloys (x + y = 16, x = 1, 2,…, 15) with varying Al-doping contents were studied using the first-principles method. In this work, the structures of MgxAly alloys were constructed by replacing Mg atoms in a supercell with Al atoms. The lattice parameters of the Al-doped MgxAly alloys decrease with an increasing Al content because of the smaller atomic size of Al than that of Mg. The calculated formation energies show that Mg11Al5, Mg5Al3 and Mg9Al7 have prominent structural stability. The analyses of the mechanical properties reveal that the doping of Al improves the ductility of MgxAly alloys. The elastic moduli increase with an increasing Al content, and Mg9Al7 has a notable ability to resist deformation, while Mg11Al5 and Mg5Al3 have better plasticity. The calculated results of their electronic properties reveal that Mg11Al5, Mg5Al3 and Mg9Al7 are good conductors without magnetism. Furthermore, CDD analyses show that the inner layer charges of Al atoms migrated to the outer layer, and the charges of Mg atoms accumulated significantly in the outer region of Al atoms. The Debye temperature of Mg9Al7 is higher than that of Mg11Al5 and Mg5Al3, indicating that it has better thermodynamic stability. Our findings would be helpful for the design of Mg-Al alloys with excellent mechanical and thermodynamic performances.

A first-principles analysis of the charge transfer in magnesium corrosion.

Project description:Magnesium is the lightest structural engineering material and bears high potential to manufacture automotive components, medical implants and energy storage systems. However, the practical use of untreated magnesium alloys is restricted as they are prone to corrosion. An essential prerequisite for the control or prevention of the degradation process is a deeper understanding of the underlying corrosion mechanisms. Prior investigations of the formation of gaseous hydrogen during the corrosion of magnesium indicated that the predominant mechanism for this process follows the Volmer-Heyrovský rather than the previously assumed Volmer-Tafel pathway. However, the energetic and electronic states of both reaction paths as well as the charge state of dissolved magnesium have not been fully unraveled yet. In this study, density functional theory calculations were employed to determine these parameters for the Volmer, Tafel and Heyrovský steps to gain a comprehensive understanding of the major corrosion mechanisms responsible for the degradation of magnesium.

Data set for diffusion coefficients of alloying elements in dilute Mg alloys from first-principles.

Project description:Diffusion coefficients of alloying elements in Mg are critical for the development of new Mg alloys for lightweight applications. Here we present the data set of the temperature-dependent dilute tracer diffusion coefficients for 47 substitutional alloying elements in hexagonal closed packed (hcp) Mg calculated from first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) by combining transition state theory and an 8-frequency model. Benchmark for the DFT calculations and systematic comparison with experimental diffusion data are also presented. The data set refers to "Diffusion coefficients of alloying elements in dilute Mg alloys: A comprehensive first-principles study" by Zhou et al. [1].

First-Principles Studies on the Atomistic Properties of Metallic Magnesium as Anode Material in Magnesium-Ion Batteries.

Project description:Rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs) are a promising alternative to commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). They are safer to handle, environmentally more friendly, and provide a five-time higher volumetric capacity (3832 mAh cm-3 ) than commercialized LIBs. However, the formation of a passivation layer on metallic Mg electrodes is still a major challenge towards their commercialization. Using density functional theory (DFT), the atomistic properties of metallic magnesium, mainly well-selected self-diffusion processes on perfect and imperfect Mg surfaces were investigated to better understand the initial surface growth phenomena. Subsequently, rate constants and activation temperatures of crucial diffusion processes on Mg(0001) and Mg(10 1‾ 1) were determined, providing preliminary insights into the surface kinetics of metallic Mg electrodes. The obtained DFT results provide a data set for parametrizing a force field for metallic Mg or performing kinetic Monte-Carlo simulations.

First-principles calculations, experimental study, and thermodynamic modeling of the Al-Co-Cr system.

Project description:The phase relations and thermodynamic properties of the condensed Al-Co-Cr ternary alloy system are investigated using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) and phase-equilibria experiments that led to X-ray diffraction (XRD) and electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) measurements. A thermodynamic description is developed by means of the calculations of phase diagrams (CALPHAD) method using experimental and computational data from the present work and the literature. Emphasis is placed on modeling the bcc-A2, B2, fcc-γ, and tetragonal-σ phases in the temperature range of 1173 to 1623 K. Liquid, bcc-A2 and fcc-γ phases are modeled using substitutional solution descriptions. First-principles special quasirandom structures (SQS) calculations predict a large bcc-A2 (disordered)/B2 (ordered) miscibility gap, in agreement with experiments. A partitioning model is then used for the A2/B2 phase to effectively describe the order-disorder transitions. The critically assessed thermodynamic description describes all phase equilibria data well. A2/B2 transitions are also shown to agree well with previous experimental findings.

Gene expression profiling in soybean under aluminum stress: mechanisms of magnesium amelioration of aluminum toxicity

Project description:Gene expression profiling in soybean under aluminum stress: mechanisms of magnesium amelioration of aluminum toxicity at gene expression level. Micro-molar concentrations of magnesium in culture solution has been shown to ameliorate Al toxicity in soybean and other leguminous species. Different theories have been proposed to explain the chemical mechanisms of how the two ions interact to neutralize the toxic effect of aluminum in the plant root system. To understand the molecular mechanisms of the phenomenon at the gene expression level in soybean, we undertook a comparative transcriptome analysis in Al-tolerant and Al-sensitive genotypes treated with aluminum alone or aluminum plus magnesium using DNA microarrays. The results revealed magnesium enhances Al-tolerance level in the Al-tolerant genotype by down-regulating genes commonly induced in response to Al toxicity. We hypothesized that the magnesium-mediated alleviation of Al toxicity in the Al-tolerant genotype emanates from reduction in energy expenditure of gene expression induced in response to Al stress. Conversely, magnesium appears to ameliorate Al toxicity in the sensitive genotype by dual mechanisms of increasing the expression level of several genes involved in Al-tolerance and decreasing the expression level of most genes.

Ultrasonic Processing of Aluminum?Magnesium Alloys.

Project description:This study evaluated the effect of UltraSonic Treatment (UST) on a range of Al?Mg alloys. Previous research was carried out on single magnesium compositions. However, the amount and type of the alloy addition are known to affect the grain size even under UST, and the aim of this study was to determine whether or not alloy composition plays a similar role in the case of Al?Mg alloys. By testing binary Al?Mg alloys cast under regular casting conditions and under the presence of an ultrasonic field, it was found that while the addition of Mg solute is important, the amount of solute has little effect when UST is applied. It was observed that the grain size was barely affected by extra solute additions in this condition. This is due to the application of UST during solidification, which resulted in a dramatic reduction in the size of the nucleation free zone thus promoting many more successful nucleation events. Acoustic streaming is proposed as the main cause of this reduction in grain size.

First-principles study of interface doping in ferroelectric junctions.

Project description:Effect of atomic monolayer insertion on the performance of ferroelectric tunneling junction is investigated in SrRuO3/BaTiO3/SrRuO3 heterostrucutures. Based on first-principles calculations, the atomic displacement, orbital occupancy, and ferroelectric polarization are studied. It is found that the ferroelectricity is enhanced when a (AlO2)(-) monolayer is inserted between the electrode SRO and the barrier BTO, where the relatively high mobility of doped holes effectively screen ferroelectric polarization. On the other hand, for the case of (LaO)(+) inserted layer, the doped electrons resides at the both sides of middle ferroelectric barrier, making the ferroelectricity unfavorable. Our findings provide an alternative avenue to improve the performance of ferroelectric tunneling junctions.
