摘要: Nb can improve the resistance of Ni-based Hastelloy N alloy to Te-induced intergranular embrittlement. First-principles calculations are performed to research this mechanism by simulating the Ni(111) surface and the 5(012) grain boundary. The calculated adsorption energy suggests that Te atoms prefer diffusing along the grain boundary to forming the surface-reaction layer with Nb on surface of the Ni alloy. First-principles tensile tests show that the Nb segregation can enhance the cohesion of grain boundary. The strong Nb-Ni bonding can prevent the Te migration into the inside of the alloy. According to the Rice-Wang model, the strengthening/embrittling energies of Nb and Te are calculated, along with their mechanical and chemical components. The chemical bonds and electronic structures are analyzed to uncover the physical origin of the different effects of Te and Nb. Our work sheds lights on the effect of Nb additive on the Te-induced intergranular embrittlement in Hastelloy N alloy on the atomic and electronic level.

摘要: In this paper, we present a theoretical study on excitonic absorption spectra of one-dimensional semiconductor quantum wires. The carrier-carrier scattering is treated by the second Born approximation in the Markovian limit. The absorption spectra of different carrier densities and temperatures are discussed. The excitonic absorption peak position and width show complicated dependence on carrier density and temperature, indicating the importance of carrier-carrier scattering. The behavior can be understood by the cooperative effects of exchange self-energy and Coulomb correlation due to carrier-carrier scattering.
