Popis: | We applied first-principles calculations to study the relationship between structure and properties (e.g. the thermal conductivity and the elastic stiffness) of the rare-earth pyrochlores with the general formula RE2Hf2O7, where RE is La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm and Sm. The lattice parameters of these pyrochlores increase with the RE radii increasing in the order from Sm to La. RE2Hf2O7 with RE = Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm and Sm have similar mechanical and thermal properties. However, for mechanical and thermal properties, La2Hf2O7 is lower than other pyrochlores. Thermal conductivities of these materials are in the range of 1.38–1.62 W m−1 K−1 which are all lower than the thermal conductivity of yttria stabilized zirconia. Therefore, rare earth hafnate pyrochlores are predicted to promising candidates as thermal barrier coatings. |
