金属液体(或过冷液体)中的主要微观结构对最终的凝固路径(晶化或非晶化)起着决定性作用, 何种微观结构将扮演关键性角色一直处在不断的被探索和研究中. 本文采用分子动力学方法模拟研究金属钽(tantalum, Ta)液体在不同压强下的快速凝固过程, 通过原子平均能量、双体分布函数和最大标准团簇分析方法, 对凝固过程中的微观结构演变进行量化分析. 研究结果表明, 相比于低含量的二十面体, 拓扑密堆(topologically close-packed, TCP)团簇在金属Ta液体中扮演着关键角色, 它不仅含量更高, 而且更能对凝固路径起决定性作用. 当压强P∈[0, 8.75] GPa时, 金属Ta液体中的TCP团簇不仅处于能量低且稳定性好的状态, 同时TCP团簇相互连结程度高而不容易被分解, 从而促进金属Ta液体发生非晶转变; 当压强P∈[9.375, 50] GPa时, 金属Ta液体中TCP团簇处于亚稳定状态, 且很多高能量的TCP团簇在液固转变过程中容易转变成其他团簇, 此时体心立方(body-centered cubic, BCC)晶胚容易在TCP团簇堆积稀疏区域形核和长大, 最终金属Ta液体转变成比较完美的BCC晶体.
The main microstructures in metallic liquids (or supercooled liquids) play a decisive role in determining the final solidification pathway (crystallization or amorphization). However, what kind of microstructure plays a critical role is constantly explored and studied by scholars. Some of previous theoretical and experimental studies have suggested that icosahedron (ICO) clusters (or ICO short-range order) in metallic liquids possess lower energy than their corresponding crystals, and high abundance of ICO clusters can increase the nucleation barriers and promote amorphous transformation. Current research results indicate that the content of various clusters (especially ICO clusters) in many metallic liquids is relatively low. Therefore, it is significant to identify which microstructure plays a critical role in metallic liquids. In this work, the rapid solidification processes of tantalum (Ta) metallic liquid under various pressure conditions are investigated by using molecular dynamic (MD) simulation, and the microstructure evolutions in different solidification processes are quantitatively analyzed through the average atomic energy, pair distribution function, and largest standard cluster analysis (LaSCA). The results show that, compared with the cluster with low content of ICO, topologically close-packed (TCP) clusters are not only more abundant but also play a more decisive role in determining the solidification path of Ta metallic liquids. At a pressure P∈[0, 8.75] GPa, the TCP clusters in Ta metallic liquid not only exhibit low energy and a highly stable state, but also are highly interconnected with each other and resist decomposition, thereby promoting the amorphous transformation of the Ta metallic liquid. At pressure P∈[9.375, 50] GPa, the TCP clusters in Ta metallic liquid are in a metastable state, many TCP clusters with high energy state can easily transform into other clusters in the liquid-solid transition process. In this stage, nucleation and growth of the body-centered cubic (BCC) embryo occur mainly in areas where TCP clusters are stacked sparsely, eventually Ta metallic liquid forms a perfect BCC crystal .
