Abstract

In this paper we have theoretically predicted some important thermo elastic properties of nanomaterials such as isothermal bulk modulus at different compressions, pressure derivative of isothermal bulk modulus and Gruneisen Parameter by using three different equation of states (I) Birch-Murnaghan (III) EOS, (II) Brennan-Stacey EOS and (III) Vinet-Rydberg EOS for 3C-SiC, Zr0.1Ti0.9O2, ε-Fe, Rb3C60 nanomaterials. The result shows that Gruneisen parameter decreases as compression increases. Also, the first pressure derivative of isothermal bulk modulus decreases as compression increases.

Keywords: Equation of States (EOSs), Nanomaterial, High-Pressure, Bulk Modulus, Gruneisen parameter

Introduction

High pressure research on nanomaterials are getting more attention between theoretical as well as experimental researchers, as at sufficiently high pressure a lot of structural effects happen inside nanomaterials viz. pressure ionization, change in electronic properties of nanomaterials etc. This can lead nanomaterials to change their physical, chemical and optical properties. Pressure is also connected with the Volume compression ratio (V/V0), bulk modulus (KT) and coefficient of volume expansion. Due to high thermal expansion, high chemical durability, strength and transparency of nanomaterials, it has also attracted attention in different commercial areas. The equation of state is a most useful tool to find the effect of pressure or compression over nanomaterials which leads to knowing the effect on thermoplastic properties such as volume compression, bulk modulus and effect of pressure on nanomaterials. The physical properties of nanomaterials depend on its structure and interatomic distances. if pressure is applied to the nanomaterials, due to pressure nanomaterial shows various effects, such as modification of interactions between the nano-object and pressure transmitting medium, transformations of non-constitutive elements and transformation of the interactions between the nanoobjects [1].

The gruneisen parameter (γ) is also directly related with EOSs at different pressure or compression. This theoretical approach is much useful for nanomaterials at different compressions for which no experimental data is available so for. Theoretical researchers have developed different EOSs for these purposes. In present work, we have used three different isothermal equation of states based on interatomic potential model viz. Birch- Murnaghan equation of state, Brennan-Stacey equation of state and Vinet-Rydberg equation of state to calculate the thermoelastic properties of 3C-SiC (Cubic Silicon- Carbide), Zr0.1Ti0.9O2 (Zr-doped nano anatase), ε-Fe (Epsilon iron) and Rb3C60 (Rubidium-doped C60) at high pressure [2].

Case Presentation

We have used three different equations of states, derived from lattice potential theory:

Equation

Where K0 and K0’ are isothermal bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative at zero pressure and

Equation

V is the volume at Pressure (P) and V0 is the volume at zero pressure. Equation (1) is based on Finite strain theory called Birch- Murnaghan (III order) EOS. Equation (2) based on thermodynamic Formulation for the Gruneisen parameter called Brennan-Stacey EOS. Equation (3) is the Vinet-Rydberg EOS and it is based on universal relationship between binding energy and interatomic separation for solids [3,4].

Form the equations (1), (2) and (3) we can obtain the expression for isothermal bulk modulus at Pressure (P):

Equation

Using equations (4), (5) and (6) we can obtain the expression for K'T= (∂KT⁄∂P) the first derivative of isothermal bulk modulus at pressure P given as

Equation

Thus equation (1), (4) and (7) represents the Birch-Murnaghan (III) EOS, equation (2), (5) and (8) represents Brennan-Stacey EOS and equation (3), (6) and (9) represents Vinet-Rydberg EOS respectively.

Grüneisen parameter (γ):

Results and Discussion

In this work we have describe three different isothermal equation of states viz. Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, Brennan-Stacey equation of state and Vinet-Rydberg equation of state for calculating pressure, isothermal bulk modulus, first pressure derivative of isothermal bulk modulus and Grüneisen parameter at different compressions the value of Pressure (P) are calculated by using equation (1-3). The input value of K0 and K’0 are shown in Table 1. Further using the value are P in equation (4-6) We find value of KT further substituting the values are P and KT calculated by using equation (1-6) in equation (7-9) we find the values of K’T further substituting the values of P, KT and K’T obtain from equation (1-9) in equation (10) we obtain the value of Gruneisen parameter. The graphs are plotted between the calculated values of P at different compressions by using Birch-Murnaghan EOS, Brennan-Stacey EOS and Vinet-Rydberg EOS are shown in Figures 1-4. Further the graph plotted between V/V0 and KT are shown in Figures 5-8 the graph plotted between V/V0 and K’T are shown in Figures 9-12 and also the graph plotted between V/V0 and γ are shown in Figures. Equation (1), (4) and (7) represent the Birch-Murnaghan 3rd order EOS’s. Equation (2), (5) and (8) represent the Brennan-Stacy EOS’s and Equation (3), (6) and (9) represent the Vinet-Rydberg EOS’s and equation (10) represent the Gruneisen parameter respectively [5-8].
