Abstract
The atomic and electronic structure of the interfaces between metals with body-centered cubic (bcc) and face-centered cubic (fcc) structures and zirconium dioxide is studied systematically using the ab initio methods of the electron density functional theory (DFT). It is shown that high adhesion properties can be attained at the nonstoichiometric polar Me(001)/ZrO2(001) interface with bcc metals from the middle of the 4d–5d periods (Mo, Ta, W, and Nb). Charge transfer from the metal to the oxide substrate ensures the strong ionic chemical bond on the metal-ceramic interfaces. The structural and electronic factors responsible for lowering of adhesion at differently oriented interfaces are analyzed. It is shown that a decrease of adhesion at the (110) nonpolar stoichiometric interface is due to an increase in the interfacial spacing as well as a decrease in the number of metal-oxygen bonds. The effect of doping with oxides (CaO, MgO, and Y2O3) stabilizing zirconium dioxide at low temperatures on the adhesion energy at the Me(001)/ZrO2(001) interface is analyzed.
