Universal energy relations and metal/ceramic interfacesKnown general relationships between pertinent variables are applied to investigate metal-ceramic interfaces. The adhesive energy is determined. The electronic exchange-correlation energy is found to be the dominant attractive term in the total energy. Results for the adhesive energy are obtained for junctions of all combinations of the low index surfaces of Al,Na, Mg, and Zn. This leads to a variety of curves, all with a single minimum of separation and equilibrium binding energy. Scaling results for 10 contacts fall closely onto a single curve, a universal energy relation for adhesion. The scaled chemisorption curves fall accurately on the same universal form that was found for adhesion. For the case of cohesion, all-first principle results are scaled and again all scaled curves for a variety of metals fall accurately on the universal form for adhesion and chemisorption. An intimate relationship between the energetics of solids and molecules is inferred.
