摘要
The energetics of defects in B4+xC boron carbide and beta-boron are studied through first-principles calculations, the supercell phonon approach and the Debye-Gruneisen model. It is found that suitable sublattice models for beta-boron and B4+xC are B-101(B,C)(4) and B-11(B,C) (B,C,Va) (B,Va) (B,C,Va), respectively. The thermodynamic properties of B4+xC, beta-boron, liquid and graphite are modeled using the CALPHAD approach based on the thermochemical data from first-principles calculations and experimental phase equilibrium data in the literature. The concentrations of various defects are then predicted as a function of carbon composition and temperature. (C) 2012 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
