Abstract
En 中文
Nickel titanium, also know as nitinol, is a prototypical shape memory alloy, a property intimately linked to a phase transition in the microstructure, which allows the meso/macroscopic sample shape to be recovered after thermal cycling. Not much is known about the other alloys in this binary system, which prompted our computational investigation of other compositions. In this work, structures are found by probing the potential energy surfaces of NiTi binary systems using a minima hopping method, in combination with ab initio electronic structure calculations. We find stable structures in 34 different stoichiometries and calculate derived physical properties of the low energy phases. From the results of this analysis a new convex hull is formed that is lower in energy than those in the Materials Project and Open Quantum Materials Databases. Two previously unreported phases are discovered for the NiTi2 and Ni5Ti compositions, and two metastable states in NiTi and NiTi2 shows signs of negative linear compression and negative Poisson ratio, respectively.
