Abstract:Based on its structures of chemical bonds and valence electrons, titanium diboride has special physical and chemical properties. The chemical bonds and valence electrons structure features of TiB2 crystal are studied by self-consistent-field discrete variational Xα method. The relationship between crystalline structure, electrons structure and mechanical, electric properties is discussed. It is shown that the chemical bonds consisting in TiB2 crystal are mixing bond of Ti2+ with B-, σ bond of B- with B- and π bond formed by 2pπ electrons of B-. The conducting band and valence band are mainly formed by the valence electrons locating in Ti3d and B2p orbits. These valence electrons can transmit in TiB2 crystal under electric current through the π bond.
Key words: titanium diboride; valence electron structure; quantum chemistry
