description | The volume versus temperature relations for Ni 3 Si and Ni 3 Ge are obtained by using the first principles calculations combined with the quasiharmonic approach. Based on the equilibrium volumes at temperature T, the temperature dependence of the elastic constants, generalized stacking fault energies and generalized planar fault energies of Ni 3 Si and Ni 3 Ge are investigated by first principles calculations. The elastic constants, antiphase boundary energies, complex stacking fault energies, superlattice intrinsic stacking fault energies and twinning energy decrease with increasing temperature. The twinnability of Ni 3 Si and Ni 3 Ge are examined using the twinnability criteria. It is found that their twinnability decrease with increasing temperature. Furthermore, Ni 3 Si has better twinnability than Ni 3 Ge at different temperatures. |
