Popis: We performed a first-principles calculation to investigate the 85 different Ni3Ti/Al2O3 interfaces. The study shows that the formation of metal-oxygen interfaces and high symmetric interfacial stacking sequences is highly favored both by work of adhesion and interfacial energy. At high temperature and O-poor condition, the metal-metal interfaces show higher thermodynamic stability than metal-oxygen interfaces. The first principles tensile test predicts that the main cause of mechanical failure in Ni3Ti/Al2O3 interface is attributed to the breaking of the Ti-Ni bonds proximity to the interface in the bulk Ni3Ti phase.
