Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First-principles calculations of Ag/MgO(100) and Cu/MgO(100) heterointerfaces were carried out. Empirical interatomic potential functions were constructed based on the obtained first-principles calculation results with respect to the interfacial cleavage and sliding for the coherent interface models of O-atop and Mg-atop. Using the interfacial interatomic potentials, molecular dynamics analyses of crack propagation at metal/oxide interface were performed. It was found that a crack propagates into the metal region near the interface because of the strong covalent interfacial interaction between metal and oxygen atoms and the dislocation emission from the crack tip is suppressed due to the interface, leading to low fracture toughness of the heterointerface than the metal matrix.
