摘要: The microscopic structures and the bonding properties of Y-doped and undoped (01\bar {1}8)/[04\bar {4}1]/180° (∑37) grain boundaries in alumina are investigated by using \textit{ab initio} method. The formation energy of grain boundary and the segregation energy of Y to grain boundary are acquired. Electronic structures, potential distributions, bond orders and effective charges of Y-doped and undoped ∑37 GB systems are calculated. Our results reveal that the higher strength Y--O bond than Al--O bond is ascribed to the hybridization of Y(4p, 3d) with O(2s). Meanwhile, dopant Y also causes a change in potential distribution in the grain boundary region, thereby further affecting the transport property of ceramic alumina.

Abstract: The microscopic structures and the bonding properties of Y-doped and undoped (01$\bar {1}$8)/[04$\bar {4}$1]/180$^\circ$ ($\Sigma $37) grain boundaries in alumina are investigated by using ab initio method. The formation energy of grain boundary and the segregation energy of Y to grain boundary are acquired. Electronic structures, potential distributions, bond orders and effective charges of Y-doped and undoped $\Sigma $37 GB systems are calculated. Our results reveal that the higher strength Y--O bond than Al--O bond is ascribed to the hybridization of Y(4p, 3d) with O(2s). Meanwhile, dopant Y also causes a change in potential distribution in the grain boundary region, thereby further affecting the transport property of ceramic alumina.
