Unconventional non-uniform local lattice distortion in dilute Ti-Mo solid solution
Source abstract
Abstract
The substitutional solute atom induced local lattice distortion (LLD) in dilute metal solid solution was believed to be uniform that may even be modeled by using soap bubble raft. Contrary to this conventional picture, we report in this manuscript that the Mo induced LLD in dilute Ti-Mo solid solution is highly non-uniform as evidenced by our first principles calculations. The non-uniform LLD is ascribed to the Jahn-Teller splitting of the degenerated d states of Mo atom. We propose that the substitutional solid solutions with non-uniform LLD should satisfy two conditions. With which, the solid-solutions suffering from non-uniform LLD are predicted. The non-uniform LLD is expected to result in non-spherical stress field around the solute atom, and, therefore, challenges the application of classical solid solution hardening model to this kind of solid solutions.

19. Manuscript in preparation. We have performed the phonon dispersion calculations for the hcp Ti based solid solutions with 3d metal element solutes and the hcp Zr/Hf-Mo solid solutions. The calculations demonstrated that the high symmetry lattice site is dynamically unstable for Cr, Mn, Fe, Co to occupy in hcp Ti as well as for Mo in hcp Zr and Hf whereas it is stable for V, Ni, Cu, and Zn in hcp Ti. The instability of the high symmetry occupation of the solutes indicates that the off-center position is preferred for the corresponding solutes, which should result in non-uniform local lattice distortion. 2020.
