First principle calculation of structure and stability of α-Fe/V4C3 interface in vanadium microalloyed steel

In order to investigate the interface stability of α-Fe/V4C3, the interface structure of three different atomic stacking sequences (Fe-on-C, Fe-on-V and Bridge) of (100)α-Fe/(100)V4C3 were optimized by using the first-principles calculations with pseudo potential plane wave method. The structural st...

description In order to investigate the interface stability of α-Fe/V4C3, the interface structure of three different atomic stacking sequences (Fe-on-C, Fe-on-V and Bridge) of (100)α-Fe/(100)V4C3 were optimized by using the first-principles calculations with pseudo potential plane wave method. The structural stability of α-Fe/V4C3 was measured by the work done of separation for the three configurations. The calculated interfacial separation work of the three configurations is 4.29, 1.43 eV and 2.70 eV, respectively, which larger interfacial separation work indicating stronger interface stability.Therefore, V4C3 precipitated in α-Fe mainly exists in the Fe-on-C configuration, and its interface stability is the strongest. The electronic structure properties of α-Fe/V4C3 were studied by calculating the density of states, differential charge density and electron localization function. The results show that in the Fe-on-C structure configurations, there is a charge-depleted zone for Fe atoms at the interface, and the lost charge transfer to the interface. Due to the strong electronegativity of C atoms, strong mixed ions/covalent bonds are formed at the interface, and the bond and interaction between Fe and C atoms are significantly stronger than that between Fe atoms and V atoms. Meanwhile, according to the total density of states and projected density of states, it is found that the Fe-d orbital and the C-p orbital hybridize in the -4.5 eV to -2.5 eV region, promoting the formation of the Fe—C covalent bond.
