Abstract
The site preference of Fe in Cr 23− x Fe x C 6 is investigated based on the interatomic potentials obtained by the lattice inversion method. The calculated results show that Fe atoms preferentially substitute for Cr at 4a sites first and then 8c sites. The structural parameters of Cr 23− x Fe x C 6 with content x are calculated and the results are consistent with experimental results. The calculated cohesive energies indicate that the increase in x value is accompanied by the decrease in the stability of Cr 23− x Fe x C 6. The thermodynamic properties of Cr 23C 6, such as the phonon density of states and vibrational entropy, as well as the bulk modulus of Cr 23− x Fe x C 6 are evaluated. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental results. This work provides a simple and promising method for studying the properties of carbides with complex structures.
