Abstract

Structural, elastic anisotropy, dynamical, and thermodynamic properties of U{sub 2}Ti have been studied by employing density functional theory and density functional perturbative theory. The optimized lattice parameters a, c, unit volume V, bulk modulus B, and bond lengths d{sub U-U}, d{sub U-Ti} of U{sub 2}Ti are in favorable agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical values. The elastic constants under pressure were obtained using “energy-strain” method. The polycrystalline modulus, Poisson's ratio, brittle/ductile characteristics, Debye temperature and the integration of elastic wave velocities over different directions, and hardness under pressure are also evaluated successfully. The anisotropy of the directional bulk modulus and the Young's modulus is systematically predicted for the first time. It turns out that U{sub 2}Ti should be stabilized mechanically up to 100 GPa, this compound just possesses slightly elastic anisotropy at zero pressure; however, the anisotropy becomes more and more significant with the increasing pressure. In particular, the phonon dispersion curves and phonon density of state under pressure are reported for the first time. The Raman and infrared-active phonon modes at Γ point are further assigned. Our results indicate that U{sub 2}Ti is also stable dynamically up to 100 GPa. Additionally, within the calculated phonon density of states,more »« less

First-principles investigation of thermodynamic, elastic and electronic properties of Al{sub 3}V and Al{sub 3}Nb intermetallics under pressures

Journal Article Chen, Zhe; Zhang, Peng; Chen, Dong; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The thermodynamic, elastic, and electronic properties of D0{sub 22}-type Al{sub 3}V and Al{sub 3}Nb intermetallics were studied using the first-principle method. The results showed the pressure has profound effects on the structural, mechanical and electronic properties in both Al{sub 3}V and Al{sub 3}Nb. Thermodynamically, the formation enthalpies for Al{sub 3}V and Al{sub 3}Nb were derived, which agreed well with available experimental and theoretical values. Comparably, Al{sub 3}Nb was a more stable phase with the more negative H{sub f} than Al{sub 3}V. Mechanically, the calculated elastic constants showed linearly increasing tendencies, and satisfied the Born's criteria from 0–20 GPa, indicating the mechanicallymore »« less

Journal Article Chen, Y.; Deng, C.; Han, X.; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The electronic, elastic and dynamic properties of LiMgN under pressures have been studied using the plane wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory within the local density approximation (LDA). The calculated lattice constants, bulk modulus and band gap values of the α phase LiMgN at normal conditions are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical results. Our GW corrected band gap values 3.190 eV (Γ–Γ) and 3.033 eV (Γ–X) are closer to the experimental data 3.20 eV.

Journal Article Khelfaoui, Friha; Ameri, Mohammed; Bensaid, Djillali; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

Structural, elastic, thermodynamic, electronic, and magnetic properties of the full-Heusler compound Ag{sub 2}CeAl were determined using generalized gradient approximation with exchange-correlation functional GGA (PBEsol) with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) correction. The elastic modulus and their pressure dependence are calculated. From the elastic parameter behavior, it is inferred that this compound is elastically stable and ductile in nature. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the phononic effect is considered the effect of pressure P (0 to 50) and temperature T (0 to 1000) on the lattice constant, the elastic parameters, bulk modulus B, heat capacity and thermal expansion α, internal energymore »« less
