摘要
Our computational and experimental results reveal the inherent driving force of cubic Cr-TM-N (TM = Mo, W) solid solutions for nitrogen deficiency, expressed chemically as Cr1-xTMxN1-0.5x. Their computationally predicted large positive mixing enthalpies indicate a high driving force for isostructural decomposition into B1-structured CrN and gamma-TM2N. The calculations further predict an improved ductility with increasing TM-content and significant anisotropy of elastic constants and Young's modulus in the entire compositional range. The experiinentally measured lattice parameters, nitrogen content in Cr-Mo-N, and elastic properties of Cr1-xTMxN1-0.5x corroborated our theoretical predictions. Our combined theoretical and experimental study provides new understanding and insights into these complex material systems. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
