Introduction At room temperature and ambient pressure, Ti has a hexagonal close-packed structure called the α-phase. The lattice parameters of this structure are a = 2.957 Å and c = 4.685 Å [1] in which the unit cell has two atoms at (1/3, 2/3, 1/4), (2/3, 1/3, 3/4) and the space group number is 194 (P63/mmc) with the c/a ratio of ∼ 1.59 [2]. Experimental results at room temperature indicate that lattice parameters decrease and the c/a ratio increases with pressure [3]. At ambient temperature and high pressure, it changes to the ω-phase [4, 5]. The lattice parameters of this structures are a = 4.598 Å and c = 2.822 Å [1, 6] with three atoms per unit cell at (0, 0, 0), (1/3, 2/3, 1/2), (2/3, 1/3, 1/2) and the space group is P6/mmm with the c/a ratio of ∼ 0.61 [2]. The α → ω transition in Titanium is a representative example of martensitic transformation. Recently, Trinkel et al. have proposed two pathways for this transformation which are called TAO- 1 (“Titanium alpha to omega”) and TAO-2. This mechanism is a direct mechanism in which six- atom transformation proceeds without a meta-stable intermediate phase and has small shuffles and strains [7]. The effect of pressure on lattice parameters was investigated using the Epitaxial Bain Path (EBP) method [8, 9]. In this method, the equilibrium structure is determined by minimized Gibbs free energy. As a hexagonal structure is defined by its lattice parameters, the Gibbs free energy [G ≡ E(a, c) + PV (a, c)] should be minimized with respect to a and c. The EBP method is summarized and explained here. At T = 0 K, the Gibbs free energy was G = E + PV , where P is the pressure, V was the volume per atom and E is the internal energy per atom. At P 6= 0, the lattice parameter of a = a1 was chosen and the value of c was varied until one found the values c = c1 and E = E1 . The energy of E for the lattice parameters c = ci (i = 1, 2, . . . ) with constant a1 was calculated using Wien2k until c1 and E1 values satisfied (∂E/∂c)a = − ( Pa21 sin γ ) /2, where γ is the angle between a and c. When a suitable value of c1 was determined, E1 , V1 and the Gibbs free energy G1 , which is G1 = E1+PV 1 were found at pressure P . This process was repeated for several ai values at the same pressure and Gi was determined. For the equilibrium structure at pressure P , the value giving a minimum GP was chosen. Thus, by choosing different values of P , the lattice parameters a and c, ratio c/a and the volume were determined directly as the functions of pressure. ∗E-mail: jafari@kntu.ac.ir c© M. Jafari, A. Jahandoost, Me. Vaezzadeh, N. Zarifi, 2011 23601-1 http://dx.doi.org/10.5488/CMP.14.23601 http://www.icmp.lviv.ua/journal M. Jafari et al. The energy was calculated using Wien2k Package [10], which employs a self-consistent Full- Potential Linearized Augmented Plane wave plus local orbital (FLAPW+LO) method, under the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with the Perdew-Burke-Emzerh of 96 exchange Corre- lation functional [11]. Moreover, the following parameters were used: Muffin-tin-radius, RMT = 2.3 bohr, Largest vector in the charge-density Fourier expansion, Gmax = 12 bohr−1, K point = 4954, Plane-wave cutoff, RKmax = 9, cutoff energy = −6 Ryd and charge convergence = 1×10−4e (the charge convergence was used in order to optimize parameters in the SCF cycle). Except for K point = 5599 and RMT = 2.247 bohr, other parameters which were related to the effect of pressure on the electronic structure did not change. 2. Results and discussion The effect of pressure on the hexagonal close-packed structure of titanium in the ground state was investigated. The Gibbs free energy (figure 1), ratio of c/a (figure 2), lattice parameters a and c (figure 3) and volume (figure 4) were calculated as functions of pressure. The experimental data were obtained using figure 5 in Errandonea et al. [3] via Gate data software. These results were in good agreement with theoretical [8] and experimental studies [3]. Figure 1.

The pressure dependence of atomic volume. In order to make a comparison between the results of this study and those of the refer- ences [3], only three points of the pressure (0, 4 and 7 Gpa) were chosen which was due to the limitation of the experimental results in which the experimental points were only considered up to 14.5 GPa. These comparisons are tabu- lated in tables 1 to 3 and shown in figures 5 and 6. As shown in the aforementioned figures, based on the expectations, the lattice param- eters decreased and c/a ratio increased with pressure. In the present study at T = 0 K and P = 0 GPa, α-phase had the c/a ratio of 1.586 which was in good agreement with the experimental 1.584 [3] and theoretical results 1.611 [8], 1.584 [12] or 1.583 [13] smaller than the ideal value of 1.633 for an hcp crystal. Furthermore, the experimental results showed that the c/a ratio for α-Ti gradually increased from 1.584 at atmospheric pressure to 1.622 at 14.5 GPa [3]. Table 1.

These results confirm the possibility of coexistence of both structures in the pressure range of 2–9 GPa and even more. In fact, the coexistence of these phases has been also reported by experiments within the temperature range from room temperature to around 923 K [14] and by the theory of reconstructive phase transitions [15].

Moreover, the electrical conductivity can be expressed as σ = e2τFv 2 F n(εF)/3 [16, 17], where vF is velocity at the Fermi energy and τF is the relaxation time, but n(εF) has a greater effect than the latter two parameters. Figure 7 shows 1/n(εF) as a function of pressure. Because ρ ∝ 1/n(εF), figure 7 can be taken as a measure of the effect of pressure on electrical resistivity. According to Matthiessen’s rule, total elec- trical resistivity ρ, due to electron scattering by different factors is given by sum of these factors ρ = ρTh + ρD + ρI , where ρTh is thermal resis- tivity, ρD and ρI are resistivity due to defects and impurities, respectively. The other factor that can scatter electrons is electron-electron (e-e) interaction, which is negligible. At high temperature, the effects of impurities and de- fects are negligible; thus, ρ ≈ ρTh ; at low temperature, ρTh is less than ρD+ρI , so ρ ≈ ρD+ρI . At T = 0 K, ions were frozen in fixed positions and electrons do not scatter with phonon (ρTh = 0). In the present study, pure titanium was investigated. It is chemically and thermodynamically im- possible to avoid impurities and defects, so the resistivity at T = 0 is not zero (ρ = ρD + ρI 6= 0 where ρ = ρr is called residual resistance). Figure 7 shows that at T = 0 K an increase in pressure causes an increase in electrical resistivity, which contradicts the results of P.S. Balog, who investigated the phenomenon at 50–700◦C, where ρ was due to electron-phonon interaction. A pressure increase (at constant temperature) leads to a decrease in inter-atomic spacing and atomic vibrational amplitude, causing a decrease in electrical resistivity [18]. However, in the present study, the investigation was carried out at T = 0 K and electrical resistivity increased with pressure. According to table 4, an increase in pressure leads to an increase in the number of electrons per volume. Furthermore, according to table 5, an increase in pressure leads to a decrease in the density of state, thus causing an increase in the electrical resistivity. According to table 6, an increase in pressure leads to an increase in the width of the valence band. In the formation of molecules, several atoms are arranged beside each other, so atomic orbitals are split and several molecular orbitals are created while the number of orbitals is proportional to the number of atoms. However, if the inter-atomic space is small, atomic orbital splitting is larger. According to the calculations and figure 2, a pressure increase causes a decrease in the lattice constant and inter-atomic space, thus increasing the orbital splitting and width of the valence band.

Conclusion The aim of the present study was to investigate the pressure effect on lattice parameters of hcp structure in titanium. The obtained results showed that the c/a ratio of hcp was nearly constant. However, it is believed that both structures can coexist in the pressure range studied. The alpha phase was the most stable phase at ambient conditions and its transformation to the omega phase in the pressure range of 2–9 GPa. Moreover, theoretical and experimental results confirmed the possibility of coexistence of both structures within the pressure range of 2–9 GPa and even more. Furthermore, effects of pressure on parameters depending on the electronic structure, such as conductivity, resistivity, the Fermi energy and n(εF) in the ground state were also investigated up to 30 GPa using density functional theory. Moreover, an increase in pressure leads to a decrease in the density of state, thus causing an increase in the electrical resistivity. 23601-6 Effect of pressure on the electronic structure of hcp Titanium References 1.
