Effect of Excess Electrons on hcp Mg and the Model Clusters for Bulk Metallic Glasses

摘要

We report the effect of excess electrons on hexagonal close-packed Mg and the model clusters explained by an inflation process using density functional theory-based calculations, in order to understand the role of conduction electron concentration in Mg-based bulk metallic glasses. We find the volume expansion and distortion to a higher c/a ratio in the negative charge state.
