Abstract

The heterogeneous nucleation interface between Y2O3 and NbN was investigated by first principles method in this paper. The different low index interfaces mismatch degrees of Y2O3//NbN were calculated. Then, the interface models of Y2O3//NbN were constructed, and their interface properties were analyzed. The results show that the mismatch degree of Y2O3(111)//NbN(110) interface is the smallest, which is 7.61%. It reveals the effectiveness of Y2O3 as the heterogeneous nucleation nucleus of NbN is medium. Four interface models of Y2O3(111)//NbN(110) interface are constructed, namely Y-NbNⅠ, Y-NbNII, O-NbNⅠ and O-NbNII interfaces. Among them, the adhesive work of O-NbNII interface is the largest, which is 6.26J/m2, and its interface energy is the smallest, which is -3.08J/m2. The O-NbNII interface mainly involves the binding of N-Y, Nb-O ionic bonds, and N-O covalent bonds. Therefore, Y2O3 can serve as the heterogeneous nucleation nucleus of NbN, and the O-NbNII interface is the most stable one.
