Abstract

Atomistic computer simulations are used to systematically investigate the role of interfacial disorder on the elastic behavior of composition-modulated superlattices of fcc metals, represented by simple Lennard–Jones potentials. The structures, energies, and average elastic properties of four types of superlattices with various degrees of interfacial disorder are computed as a function of the modulation wavelength along [001]. The four superlattice types studied include perfectly coherent, incoherent, and two types derived from these by introducing relative twists about [001] between alternating layers. A 20% lattice-parameter mismatch between the two modulating materials is assumed. Results are compared with our earlier work on unsupported thin films, grain-boundary superlattices, and incoherent superlattices with a 10% lattice-parameter mismatch. The degree of structural disorder at the interfaces is found to correlate well with the magnitude of the elastic anomalies, which cannot be accounted for by anisotropic lattice-parameter changes alone. The grain-boundary superlattices studied earlier are found to provide a good model limit for the elastic behavior of interfacially disordered dissimilar-material superlattices.
