Modified embedded-atom method interatomic potentials for the V-X (X= Cr, Fe) binary and CoCrFeNiTiV multinary alloys.

Interatomic potentials based on the second nearest-neighbor modified embedded-atom method (2NN-MEAM) have been developed for Fe-V and Cr-V binary alloys. The structural, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of various stable and metastable phases in Fe-V and Cr-V binary systems were calculated by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation using the developed 2NN-MEAM potentials. A good consistency between the MD-calculated data and the experimental data or first-principles calculations was obtained. The potentials were further employed to predict several chemically complex intermetallic alloys (CCIAs) with stable B2 and L1 2 ordered structures in CoCrFeNiTiV system. Finally, this work pave the way to investigate the atomic scale physical metallurgy of V-containing and chemically complex intermetallic alloys and adjust their composition and microstructure to meet the specific requirements entailed in advanced applications.
