摘 要: 基于第一性原理方法,研究温度、原子化学配比、Al 活度、O活度和杂质偏聚对内氧化Cu/Al2O3界面的影响作用。计算得到的界面相图及相应能量学结果表明:界面平衡相结构随制备气氛的变化而变化;富O相界面的结合强度最高,富Al相界面的结合强度其次,它们均约3倍于理想化学配比相界面的结合强度;杂质S对界面的危害性明显,对富Al相和理想配比相界面具有强烈的偏聚能力,且严重削弱界面强度(约可达65%),并降低氧化铝颗粒尺寸的稳定性,但S不能向富O 相界面偏聚;相较于S,另一种杂质P向富Al相和理想配比相界面的偏聚能力不强,偏聚后对界面的危害性也较S弱。但P能向富O相界面偏聚,使界面强度严重降低。

Abstract:Based on the first-principles study, the effects of temperature, interfacial stoichiometry, Al activity, O activity and impurity segregation on the internally oxidized Cu/Al2O3 interface were studied. The calculated interfacial phase diagrams and corresponding energetics suggest that, the equilibrium interface structure varies with the ambient; the O-rich type interface, followed by the Al-rich type, has significantly stronger adhesion than its stoichiometric counterpart. Impurity S strongly segregates to Al-rich and stoichiometric type interfaces, degrades the adhesion (up to about 65%) and also reduces the size stability of alumina particles in Cu, while the O-rich interface is immunized from S segregation. P, as another common impurity in Cu, has a limited capability to segregate to the Al-rich and the stoichiometric interfaces, but it can segregate to the O-rich interface and reduce the adhesion seriously.
