Abstract:
Based on the fundamental thermodynamic principles, the ordering behavior of the ThMn12-type intermetallics YFe10-xSix were studied by using a general four-sublattice model supported with first-principles total-energy calculations. The results of YFe10.2Si1.8 and YFe10Si2 showed that the 2a sublattices were fully occupied by rare earth elements Y, and 8i sublattices were also fully occupied by Fe atoms, while 8f and 8j sublattices were shared by Fe and Si atoms. Meanwhile, the Si atoms prefered to occupy 8f sublattices. The site occupying fractions of all atoms in the YFe10-xSix intermetallics were not affected by the heat treatment (aging) temperature. The predicted results agreed well with the recent experimental results. And we clarified that the YFe10Si2 alloy consisted of the YFe10.2Si1.8 phase with ThMn12-type structure and α-(Fe, Si) solid solution phase rather than single YFe10Si2 phase with ThMn12-type structure.
