First-principles calculation on the adhesion strength, fracture mechanism, interfacial bonding of the NiTi (111)//α-Al2O3 (0001) interfaces

NiTi//Al2O3 composites have many advantages such as large elasticity, superior hardness and wear resistance. But there is little information available about the novel adhesion strength, fracture mechanism and interfacial bonding of NiTi//Al2O3 composites at the atomic scale. Therefore, the work of a...
