Equation of state of aluminum carbide Al4C3

Quasi-hydrostatic compression of aluminum carbide, Al₄C₃ has been studied to 6 GPa at room temperature using energy-dispersive X-ray powder diffraction with synchrotron radiation. A fit of the experimental p-V data to the Birch equation of state yields the values of the bulk modulus, B₀, of 130(5) GPa and the first pressure derivative of the bulk modulus, B′₀, of 4.6(9). The compression is found to be anisotropic, with the a-axis being more compressible than the c-axis.     

Elastic and electronic properties of YNi2B2C under pressure from first principles

The elastic and electronic structure properties of YNi₂B₂C under pressure are investigated by performing the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) correction scheme in the frame of density functional theory (DFT). The pressure dependences of the normalized lattice parameters a/a₀ and c/c₀, the ratio c/a, and the normalized primitive volume V/V₀ of YNi₂B₂C are also obtained. The lattice constants and bulk modulus obtained are in agreement with the available experimental and other theoretical data. We have also studied the pressure dependences of elastic properties. It is found that, as pressure increases, the elastic constants C₁₁, C₃₃, C₆₆, C₁₂, and C₁₃ increase, the variation of elastic constant C₄₄ is not obvious. Moreover, our compressional and shear wave velocities V_L=6.99 km/s and V_S=3.67 km/s as well as the Debye temperature Θ=549.7 K at 0 GPa compare favorably with the available experimental data. The pressure dependences of band structures, energy gap and density of states are also investigated.     

Ab initio investigation of hydrogenation of (BN)12

Ab initio molecular orbital theory was used to examine the hydrogenation of a B₁₂N₁₂ molecule. The 1,2 addition of the 4,6 bond is an energetically favorable adsorption site in one-hydrogen-molecule adsorption. We found that the averaged bind energy of hydrogen molecule is maximized in B₁₂N₁₂H₁₂. The largest energy gaps of B₁₂N₁₂H₁₂ and B₁₂N₁₂H₂₄ suggest they have special stability. Moreover, calculation of the Gibbs free energy of the B₁₂N₁₂ + 12H₂ → B₁₂N₁₂H₂₄ reaction showed that this reaction becomes endothermic above 320 K.     

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy and break junction spectroscopy on iron-oxypnictide superconductor NdFeAs(O0.9F0.1)

Iron-oxypnictide superconductor NdFeAs(O_0.9F_0.1) was studied using both low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and tunnel break junction (BJ) methods. STM topography showed granular and spot structures with a typical size of several nanometers, most probably governed by fluorine atom distribution. The majority of STS conductance, G, versus voltage, V, curves revealed V-shaped structures, whereas some of G(V) dependences possessed coherent gap peaks or kinks at gap energies. At the same time, G(V) dependences obtained by the BJ technique showed clear-cut coherence peaks with peak-to-peak distances V_pp = 4Δ/e ∼ 25 mV at 4.2 K, where Δ is the superconducting energy gap, e > 0 is the elementary charge. This yields Δ(0) = 6–7 meV, so that the ratio 2Δ(0)/k_BT_c is about 3–4, k_B being the Boltzmann constant. This value is consistent with the conventional weak-coupling s-wave Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory.     

High pressure X-ray diffraction and electrical resistance study of the quasi-one-dimensional sulfide InV6S8

The ambient structural details and the results of room temperature high pressure angle dispersive X-ray diffraction and electrical resistance measurements on the quasi-one-dimensional sulfide, InV₆S₈, to a pressure of 25 GPa are reported. The material does not undergo a phase transition in this pressure range, though an anomaly in the c/a ratio has been observed around 10 Gpa. A fit of the Murnaghan equation of state to the V/V₀ versus pressure data, with the value of the derivative of B₀ with respect to pressure, B′₀, fixed at 4 has yielded a value of the bulk modulus, B₀, of 110 GPa. We also present data of the pressure dependence of the lattice constants, a and c, the ratio c/a, and the resistance at room temperature.     

Structural and thermodynamic properties of AlB2 compound

We employ a first-principles plane wave method with the relativistic analytic pseudopotential of Hartwigsen, Goedecker and Hutter (HGH) scheme in the frame of DFT to calculate the equilibrium lattice parameters and the thermodynamic properties of AlB₂ compound with hcp structure. The obtained lattice parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental data and those calculated by others. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, obtained successfully are the dependences of the normalized lattice parameters a/a₀ and c/c₀ on pressure P, the normalized primitive cell volume V/V₀ on pressure P, the variation of the thermal expansion α with pressure P and temperature T, as well as the Debye temperature \Theta_D and the heat capacity C_V on pressure P and temperature T.     

First-principles calculations on the elastic and thermodynamic properties of NbN

<正>The elastic and thermodynamic properties of NbN at high pressures and high temperatures are investigated by the plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory（DFT）.The generalized gradient approximation（GGA） with the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof（PBE） method is used to describe the exchange-correlation energy in the present work.The calculated equilibrium lattice constant a₀,bulk modulus B₀,and the pressure derivative of bulk modulus B₀’ of NbN with rocksalt structure are in good agreement with numerous experimental and theoretical data.The elastic properties over a range of pressures from 0 to 80.4 GPa are obtained.Isotropic wave velocities and anisotropic elasticity of NbN are studied in detail.It is indicated that NbN is highly anisotropic in both longitudinal and shear-wave velocities. According to the quasi-harmonic Debye model,in which the phononic effect is considered,the relations of（V-V₀）/V₀ to the temperature and the pressure,and the relations of the heat capacity C_V and the thermal expansion coefficientαto temperature are discussed in a pressure range from 0 to 80.4 GPa and a temperature range from 0 to 2500 K.At low temperature,C_V is proportional to T³ and tends to the Dulong-Petit limit at higher temperature.We predict that the thermal expansion coefficientαof NbN is about 4.20×10^-6/K at 300 K and 0 GPa.     

Theoretical investigations of structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties for PtN2 under high pressure

We have investigated structural and elastic properties of PtN₂ under high pressures using norm-conserving pseudopotentials within the local density approximation (LDA) in the frame of density-functional theory. Calculated results of PtN₂ are in agreement with experimental and available theoretical values. The a/a₀, V/V₀, ductility/brittleness, elastic constants C_ij, shear modulus C′, bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E, Poisson's ratio σ and anisotropy factor A as a function of applied pressure are presented. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we also study thermodynamic properties of PtN₂. The thermal expansion versus temperature and pressure, thermodynamic parameters X (X=Debye temperature or specific heat) with varying pressure P, and heat capacity of PtN₂ at various pressures and temperatures are estimated.     

High pressure X-ray diffraction study on icosahedral boron arsenide (B12As2)

The high pressure properties of icosahedral boron arsenide (B₁₂As₂) were studied by in situ X-ray diffraction measurements at pressures up to 25.5 GPa at room temperature. B₁₂As₂ retains its rhombohedral structure; no phase transition was observed in the pressure range. The bulk modulus was determined to be 216 GPa with the pressure derivative 2.2. Anisotropy was observed in the compressibility of B₁₂As₂—c-axis was 16.2% more compressible than a-axis. The boron icosahedron plays a dominant role in the compressibility of boron-rich compounds.
