The coarse-grained phase morphologies of the iron-rich region of FeSi alloys at 1,050 K were investigated using first-principles phase field and special quasirandom structure methods, without relying on any experimental or empirical information. The results show that a solid-solution-like homogeneous phase is most stable for Si concentrations less than 25 at%, with the appearance of a random pattern consisting of B2 Fe-4-xSix and D0(3) Fe3Si phases at around 12.5 at% Si at lower temperatures. It is conjectured that this random pattern is the origin of the zero magnetostriction and low magnetic anisotropy observed at 6.5 wt% Si. On the other hand, for Si concentrations slightly larger than 25 at%, FeSi alloys prefer two-phase coexistence of the D0(3) Fe3Si phase and the B2 FeSi phase. These findings are in good agreement with available experimental evidence.
Coarse grained phase morphologies of iron-rich region of FeSi alloys at 1 050 K are investigated by using first-principles phase field and special quasirandom structure methods without relying on any experimental or empirical information. From the free energy comparison, we find that, for the Si concentration less than 25 at%, a solid-solution-like homogeneous phase is most stable, although a random pattern in nm scale consisting of B2 Fe-4-xSix and D0(3) Fe3Si phases may appear at 12.5 at% Si at somewhat lower temperatures. We make a conjecture that, around 12.5 at% Si, such a random pattern in nm scale is the origin of the zero magnetostriction and low magnetic anisotropy. This solves a long-standing problem of the experimentally observed zero magnetostriction at 6.5 wt% Si. On the other hand, for the Si concentration slightly larger than 25 at%, FeSi alloys prefer two-phase coexistence of the D0(3) Fe3Si phase and the B2 FeSi phase. All these findings are in good accordance with the available experimental evidence.
