摘要
A new Nb-silicide, -Nb11Si4, identified as a second phase precipitated from a Nb-Si solid solution, was characterized by combining crystallographic analysis with first-principles calculations. The crystal structure was determined as a body-centered orthorhombic system with space group Immm using transmission electron microscope (TEM). Based on the crystallographic relationship between the and Nb phases, [image omitted] // {200}Nb and [image omitted] // < 001 > Nb, eight possible unit cells were proposed, which were optimized by first-principles calculations. By analyzing the experimental and calculated data, we obtained the final unit cell of the phase, which was confirmed by high-resolution TEM images. In addition, density of states and electron density difference of -Nb11Si4 revealed that the structure was in a metastable state at low temperature because not all the bonding states were filled.
