Resumen
Este estudio investiga teóricamente las estructuras de monóxido de silicio (SiO) bajo presión. Revela fases estables de estado de tierra y de alta presión, encontrando que el SiO es metálico a altas presiones pero desproporcionadas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencia de los materiales Ciencia de los materiales.
- Química computacional es la química computacional.
- Física del estado sólido Física del estado sólido
Sus antecedentes:
- El monóxido de silicio (SiO) es anómalo debido a su falta de una fase cristalina en condiciones ambientales.
- Los monóxidos del grupo 14 exhiben diferentes estabilidades y comportamientos de desproporcionamiento.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Explorar teóricamente las estructuras ordenadas del estado fundamental y amorfas del SiO a 1 atmósfera.
- Para investigar las fases cristalinas de SiO bajo altas presiones (hasta 200 GPa).
- Para calcular el calor de formación y la desproporción del SiO cristalino.
Principales métodos:
- Cálculos teóricos del estado de tierra y de las estructuras amorfas a 1 atm.
- Exploración de fase de alta presión hasta 200 GPa.
- Cálculos termodinámicos para el calor de formación y la desproporción.
Principales resultados:
- Se identificaron varias estructuras de estado fundamental competitivas para SiO a 1 atm, con enlaces Si-Si y puentes Si-O-Si.
- El modelo de SiO amorfo no mostró segregación en regiones de Si y SiO2.
- Nuevas estructuras cristalinas evolucionaron a altas presiones, incluidas las redes / tiras triangulares de Si y las regiones similares a la stishovita.
- El SiO cristalino tiene el calor de formación más negativo entre los monóxidos del grupo 14.
- La desproporción de SiO a Si y SiO2 es exotérmica, consistente con la tendencia del grupo 14 de monóxido.
- Se encontró que las fases de SiO a alta presión eran metálicas.
Conclusiones:
- El SiO exhibe estructuras complejas a presiones ambientales y altas, desafiando su estado anómalo.
- A pesar de un calor negativo de formación, el SiO es inestable con respecto a la desproporción en Si y SiO2.
- La metalicidad inducida por presión en las fases de SiO es un hallazgo significativo.

Phase Diagrams
45.6K
A phase diagram combines plots of pressure versus temperature for the liquid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-gas phase-transition equilibria of a substance. These diagrams indicate the physical states that exist under specific conditions of pressure and temperature and also provide the pressure dependence of the phase-transition temperatures (melting points, sublimation points, boiling points). Regions or areas labeled solid, liquid, and gas represent single phases, while lines or curves represent...

Network Covalent Solids
12.9K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Polymer Classification: Crystallinity
3.1K
Unlike ionic or small covalent molecules, polymers do not form crystalline solids due to the diffusion limitations of their long-chain structures. However, polymers contain microscopic crystalline domains separated by amorphous domains.
Crystalline domains are the regions where polymer chains are aligned in an orderly manner and held together in proximity by intermolecular forces. For example, chains in the crystalline domains of polyethylene and nylon are bound together by van der Waals...

Molecular and Ionic Solids
16.4K
Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...

Structures of Solids
17.8K
Solids in which the atoms, ions, or molecules are arranged in a definite repeating pattern are known as crystalline solids. Metals and ionic compounds typically form ordered, crystalline solids. A crystalline solid has a precise melting temperature because each atom or molecule of the same type is held in place with the same forces or energy. Amorphous solids or non-crystalline solids (or, sometimes, glasses) which lack an ordered internal structure and are randomly arranged. Substances that...

Vapor Pressure
30.3K
When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules move randomly about, they will occasionally collide with the surface of the condensed phase, and in some cases, these collisions will result in the molecules re-entering the condensed phase. The change from the gas phase to the liquid is called condensation. When the rate of condensation becomes equal to the rate of vaporization, neither the amount of the liquid nor the amount of the vapor...
