In this study, the interfacial atomic bonding and atom-matching structure of Al atoms on the crystal plane of CoCrFeNi HEA were investigated using first-principles calculations. The results showed a strong interface bonding ability of Al atoms and a phase transition with increasing deposited atoms. Additionally, the study revealed the occurrence of electron cloud and charge transfer at the interface.
In this work, the interfacial atomic bonding process and atom-matching structure of Al atoms deposited on the crystal plane of CoCrFeNi HEA were investigated by first-principles calculations. The relevant physical parameters, including crystal structure, lattice constants, chemical bonding, and differential charge distribution, were studied in detail. The results showed that the constructed crystal model of CoCrFeNi HEA has a stable structure, and the binding energy of Al atoms deposited constantly on different crystal planes at different sites is less than -16.21 eV, indicating a strong interface bonding ability. With the increase in deposited atoms, the material is subjected to a phase transition from two-dimensional chemical adsorption of Al atoms in a single layer to three-dimensional chemical binding of the bulk. Furthermore, the electron cloud occurred through the interaction of positive and negative charges at the interface, indicating that the charge has been transferred along with a chemical bond between Al and CoCrFeNi atoms. It can be thought that the interface formed a stable structure and possessed low mismatch stress. This work provides a theoretical basis for designing CoCrFeNi series HEA-reinforced Al matrix composites.
