Elastic constants and anisotropy of RuB2 under pressure

The structural, elastic constants and anisotropy of RuB2 under pressure are investigated by first-principles calcula-tions based on the plane wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within the local density approximation (LDA) as well as the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for exchange and correlation. The results accord well with the available experimental and other theoretical data. The elastic constants, elastic anisotropy, and Debye temperature Θ as a function of pressure are presented. It is concluded that RuB2 is brittle in nature at low pressure, whereas it becomes ductile at higher pressures. An analysis for the calculated elastic constant has been made to reveal the mechanical stability of RuB2 up to 100 GPa.     

Theoretical investigations of the physical properties of tetragonal CaSiO3 perovskite

The first principles study of the physical properties of tetragonal CaSiO₃ perovskite is reported using the pseudopotential plane wave method within the local density approximation. The calculated equilibrium volume is in good agreement with the available experimental data. A complete elastic tensor of the tetragonal CaSiO₃ perovskite is determined in the wide pressure range. The geologically important quantities: sound velocity, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and crystal anisotropy, are derived from the calculated data. A systematic decrease of crystal’s anisotropy with pressure is noticed except symmetry plane (001). Finally, by using a quasiharmonic Debye model, the Debye temperature, the heat capacity, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the Grüneisen parameter are also obtained in the present work.

FP-LMTO calculations of the structural,elastic, thermodynamic,and electronic properties of the ideal-cubic perovskite BiGaO3

Using the first-principles full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method within the local density approximation, we have studied the structural, elastic, thermodynamic, and electronic properties of the ideal-cubic perovskite BiGaO₃. It is found that this compound has an indirect band gap. The valence band maximum (VBM) is located at Γ-point, whereas the conduction band minimum (CBM) is located at X-point. The pressure and volume dependences of the energy band gaps have been calculated. The elastic constants at equilibrium are also determined. We derived the bulk and shear moduli, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. The thermodynamic properties are predicted through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account. The variation of the bulk modulus, heat capacities, and Debye temperature with pressure and temperature are successfully obtained.

From the ratio G/B, we conclude that LaTiO₃ is ductile at 0 GPa and becomes more ductile at high pressure. In addition, the anisotropy factors for every symmetry plane and axis as well as linear bulk modulus at diverse pressures have been obtained.     

Pseudo-potential investigations of structural, elastic and thermal properties of tungsten disilicide

The plane-wave pseudopotential method using the generalized gradient approximation within the density functional theory is used to investigate the structure and bulk modulus of WSi 2.The quasi-harmonic Debye model,using a set of total energy versus cell volume obtained with the plane-wave pseudopotential method,is applied to the study of the elastic properties and vibrational effects.We have analysed the bulk modulus of WSi 2 up to 1600 K.The major trend shows that the WSi 2 crystal becomes more compressible when the temperature rises and the increase of compressibility leads to the decrease of Debye temperature.The predicted temperature and pressure effects on the thermal expansion,heat capacity and Debye temperatures are determined from the non-equilibrium Gibbs functions and compared with the data available.     

First-principles calculation of elastic and thermodynamic properties of Ni2MnGa Heusler alloy

The equilibrium lattice parameter, heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient and bulk modulus of Ni 2 MnGa Heusler alloy are successfully obtained using the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential (PW-PP) method as well as the quasi-harmonic Debye model. We analyse the relationship between bulk modulus B and temperature T up to 800 K and obtain the relationship between bulk modulus B and pressure at different temperatures. It is found that the bulk modulus B increases monotonically with increasing pressure and decreases with increasing temperature. The pressure dependence of heat capacity C v and thermal expansion α at various temperatures are also analysed. Finally, the Debye temperature of Ni 2 MnGa is determined from the non-equilibrium Gibbs function. Our calculated results are in excellent agreement with the experimental data.
