Influence of high pressure on the structure, hardness and brittle-to-ductile transition of NbSi2 ceramics

D. L. Pu et al.

Summary: This study applies first-principles calculations to investigate the impact of pressure on the properties of NbSi2. It is found that increasing pressure results in higher hardness and elastic modulus of NbSi2, as well as induces a transition from brittleness to ductility in different phases. The enhancement of mechanical properties is attributed to the increased electronic hybridization between Nb and Si under pressure, demonstrated by chemical bonding interactions.

Y. Pan et al.

Summary: Cr-Si binary silicides are promising advanced functional materials widely used in semiconductors, thermoelectric, and high temperature industries. Structural, mechanical, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of Cr-Si silicides were studied using first-principles. A novel Cr2Si orthorhombic structure was predicted and different silicides showed varying properties, with Cr3Si having larger moduli but Cr2Si exhibiting better ductility and plasticity. These findings provide insight into the comprehensive properties of Cr-Si silicides and guide future improvements in their performance.

Insight into the Mechanical Properties and Fracture Behavior of Pt3Al Coating by Experiment and Theoretical Simulation

Yong Pan

Summary: The polycrystalline Pt3Al coating prepared by the arc-melting method exhibits lamellar cleavage fracture with a measured fracture strength of 449.5 MPa. The theoretical investigation and MD simulation show that the cleavage fracture of Pt3Al is attributed to atomic cluster and thermal activation, respectively. This indicates a close correlation between experimental and theoretical results in understanding the fracture mechanism of Pt3Al.

Influence of Group III and IV Elements on the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction of MoS2 Disulfide

Shuang Chen et al.

Summary: The application of MoS2 as an electrocatalyst is limited by its intrinsic semiconductor behavior and the number of active sites, but doping and interlayer regulation are effective strategies to improve its properties. First-principles method study shows that interlayer doping strengthens interaction between MoS2 layers, promotes metallic behavior, and improves catalytic hydrogen evolution effect. Particularly, hydrogenated C-doped MoS2 exhibits the best catalytic hydrogen evolution effect due to weakened interaction between Mo and S caused by weak local hybridization of C-2p at the Fermi level.

First-principles investigation of structural stability, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of Pt3Zr5 compounds

Yong Pan et al.

Summary: Pt3Zr5 has four thermodynamically stable structures, with the hexagonal phase being the most stable. The tetragonal structure exhibits stronger bulk deformation resistance, while the hexagonal structure shows higher elastic stiffness and shear deformation resistance. The high mechanical properties of Pt3Zr5 are attributed to the strong cohesive force between the Pt and Zr layers.
