摘要: The interactions between solute atoms and crystalline defects such as vacancies, dislocations, grain boundaries play an essential role in determining physical, chemical mechanical properties of solid-solution alloys. Here we present a universal correlation two electronic factors the solute-defect interaction energies binary alloys body-centered-cubic (bcc) refractory metals (such W Ta) with transition-metal substitutional solutes. One factor is bimodality d-orbital local density states for matrix atom at site, other related to hybridization strength valance sp- d-bands same atom. Remarkably, independent types locations sites, following linear relation particular pair solute-matrix elements. Our findings provide novel quantitative guidance engineer based on structures.
