First-Principles Calculations of the Structural, Elastic, and Electronic Properties of Mo2FeB2 Alloyed with V and Mn Under Pressure
摘要
This study investigates the structural, electronic, elastic, magnetic, and thermodynamics properties of Mo2FeB2 and Mo2(Fe,X)B2(X = V, Mn) under pressure. Compared to pure Mo2FeB2, the doped systems (X = V, Mn) exhibit enhanced thermodynamic stability. Mechanically, V-doped Mo2FeB2 demonstrates superior hardness and wear resistance, with pressure strengthening B–B and Fe–B covalent bonds. Electronic structure analysis confirms its metallic nature, with V doping reducing hybridization near the Fermi level. Magnetic moments decrease under pressure, while thermodynamic properties reveal excellent volumetric stability below 600 K and minimal pressure dependence of the thermal expansion coefficient. The Debye temperature is sensitive to the doping element, whereas the heat capacity remains largely unaffected by either doping or pressure.
