Abstract
⺠We calculated Al/AlB2 system to clarify heterogeneous nucleation potential of AlB2. ⺠The outmost layer of AlB2 particles prefers metal to metalloid atom termination. ⺠Al atoms continue the natural stacking sequence of bulk AlB2 across interface. ⺠The interfacial energy of Al/AlB2 is much larger than that of Al(s)/Al(l). ⺠Poor nucleation potency of AlB2 is elucidated from thermodynamic considerations.
