Abstract

Abstract: The structure and properties of metal/oxide interfaces are key to obtain metal matrix composites with both favorable mechanical and functional properties. However, some extent of differences in structure and properties between metal and oxide are pervasive. In order to obtain metal/oxide interfaces with promising mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, it is necessary to deeply understand interfacial interaction and bonding mechanisms, and to fully utilize the advantages of numerical simulation. This paper reviews recent researches and scientific issues faced in nano/micro-scale numerical simulation of metal/oxide interfaces, as well as microstructure-related microscopic analysis. It highlights interfacial interaction and bonding mechanisms at atomic and electronic levels, along with the effects of defects and physicochemical behaviors on interfacial microstructures and properties. In this way, a reference for obtaining excellent mechanical and functional properties of metal/oxide interfaces, as well as a combination of numerical simulation and microstructure-related microscopic analysis is provided.
