Structural stabilities and thermal properties of η′-Mg2Zn5-xAl2+x and η-MgZn2 phase in Al–Zn–Mg alloy: first-principles calculation and quasi-harmonic Debye approximation

The structural stabilities and thermal properties of η′ and η phase at high temperature and pressure were investigated via first principles calculations combined with quasi-harmonic Debye approximation (QHA). The calculated results illustrate η′ possess high formation enthalpy with lower structural...
