The electronic properties and elastic parameters of the superconducting nanolaminate Ti2InC are analyzed using the ab initio full-potential linearized augmented-plane-wave (FLAPW) method with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the local spin density. The equilibrium parameters of the crystal lattice, the band structure, the total and partial densities of states, and the Fermi surface are determined within a unified approach. The independent elastic constants, the bulk modulus, and the shear modulus are calculated, and the elastic parameters are numerically estimated for the first time for polycrystalline Ti2InC.  相似文献

We have investigated the structural, elastic and electronic properties of the anti-perovskite TlNCa3 using ab initio calculations within the generalized gradient approximation and the local density approximation for the exchange–correlation potential. The lattice constant, bulk modulus, elastic constants and their pressure dependence, energy band structures, density of states and charge density distribution are calculated and analyzed in comparison with the available experimental and theoretical data. The bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Lamé’s coefficients, average sound velocity and Debye temperature are numerically estimated for ideal polycrystalline TlNCa3 aggregates in the framework of the Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation. This is the first theoretical prediction of the elastic constants and their related properties for TlNCa3 that requires experimental confirmation.  相似文献

We have studied some structural, thermodynamic, elastic, and electronic properties of pyrite-type SnO2 polymorph by performing ab initio calculations within the LDA approximation. The basic physical properties, in particular lattice constant, bulk modulus, second-order elastic constants (Cij), and the electronic structure, are calculated, and compared with the available experimental data. In order to gain some further information on the mechanical properties, we have also calculated the Young's modulus, Poison's ratio (ν), anisotropy factor (A), sound velocities, and Debye temperature for the same compound.  相似文献

The structural and mechanical properties of LnO (Ln=Sm, Eu, Yb) compounds have been investigated using a modified interionic potential theory, which includes the effect of Coulomb screening. We predicted a structural phase transition from NaCl (B1)- to CsCl (B2)-type structure and elastic properties in LnO compounds at very high pressure. The anomalous properties of these compounds have been correlated in terms of the hybridisation of f-electrons of the rare earth ion with conduction band and strong mixing of f-states of lanthanides with the p-orbital of neighbouring chalcogen ion. For EuO, the calculated transition pressure, bulk modulus and lattice parameter are close to the experimental data. The nature of bonds between the ions is predicted by simulating the ion-ion (Ln-Ln and Ln-O) distances at high pressure. The second order elastic constants along with shear modulus and Young's modulus, elastic anisotropy and Poisson's ratio are also presented for these oxides.  相似文献

A potential superhard o-BC_4 N with Imm2 space group is identified by ab initio evolutionary methodology using CALYPSO code. The structural, electronic and mechanical properties of o-BC_4N are investigated. The elastic calculations indicate that o-BC_4N is mechanically stable. The phonon dispersions imply that this phase is dynamically stable under ambient conditions. The structure of o-BC_4N is more energetically favorable than o-BC_4N above the pressure of 25.1 GPa. Here o-BC_4N is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of about 3.95 eV, and the structure is highly incompressible with a bulk modulus of 396.3 GPa and shear modulus of 456.0 GPa. The mechanical failure mode of o-BC_4N is dominated by the shear type. The calculated peak stress of 58.5 GPa in the(100)[001] shear direction sets an upper bound for its ideal strength. The Vickers hardness of o-BC_4N reaches 78.7 GPa, which is greater than that of t-BC_4N and bc-BC_4N proposed recently, confirming that o-BC_4N is a potential superhard material.  相似文献

We have performed first-principles calculations to investigate the structural, lattice dynamics and thermodynamic properties of the zincblende thallium-V compounds: TlAs, TlP and TlN. The ground-state parameters, such as the lattice constant and the bulk modulus, as well as the electronic structure are calculated using the plane wave pseudopotential approach to density functional theory within the local density approximation. Phonon dispersion spectra are derived from the linear response to density functional theory. The present ab initio results for phonon dispersion are compared and contrasted with the common III–V materials. Thermodynamical properties, calculated using quasiharmonic approximations, are also reported.  相似文献

We have studied structural, thermodynamic, elastic, and electronic properties of cubic IrO2 polymorph via ab initio calculations within the LDA and GGA approximations. Basic physical properties, such as lattice constant, bulk modulus, second-order elastic constants (Cij), and the electronic band structures are calculated, and compared with available experimental values. We have, also, predicted the Young's modulus, Poison's ratio (ν), Anisotropy factor (A), sound velocities, and Debye temperature.  相似文献

The ideal shear strength of transition metal carbides and nitrides is calculated with the use of the ab initio pseudopotential density functional method. The microscopic mechanism that limits the ideal strength is studied using full atomic and structural relaxation and the results of electronic structure calculations. It is shown that plasticity in perfect crystals can be triggered by electronic instabilities at finite strains. Our study explicitly demonstrates that the ideal strength in these materials is limited by the elastic instability which is in turn initiated by electronic instabilities. The potential application of alloy hardening due to the onset of instabilities at different strains is also discussed.  相似文献

The structural, electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties of Pt, Pd, Rh, Ir, Os metals and their alloys Pt Pd X(X= Ir, Os and Rh) are studied systematically using ab initio density functional theory. The groundstate properties such as lattice constant and bulk modulus are calculated to find the equilibrium atomic position for stable alloys. The electronic band structure and density of states are calculated to study the electronic behavior of metals on making their alloys. The electronic properties substantiate the metallic behavior for all studied materials. The firstprinciples density functional perturbation theory as implemented in quasi-harmonic approximation is used for the calculations of thermal properties.We have calculated the thermal properties such as the Debye temperature, vibrational energy, entropy and constant-volume specific heat. The calculated properties are compared with the previously reported experimental and theoretical data for metals and are found to be in good agreement. Calculated results for alloys could not be compared because there is no data available in the literature with such alloy composition.  相似文献

Using the first principles calculations based on density functional theory, the crystal structure, elastic anisotropy, and electronic properties of carbon, silicon and their alloys(C_(12)Si_4, C_8Si_8, and C_4Si_(12)) in a monoclinic structure(C2/m) are investigated. The calculated results such as lattice parameters, elastic constants, bulk modulus,and shear modulus of C_(16) and Si_(16) in C2/m structure are in good accord with previous work. The elastic constants show that C_(16), Si_(16), and their alloys in C2/m structure are mechanically stable. The calculated results of universal anisotropy index, compression and shear anisotropy percent factors indicate that C-Si alloys present elastic anisotropy,and C_8Si_8 shows a greater anisotropy. The Poisson's ratio and the B/G value show that C_8Si_8 is ductile material and other four C-Si alloys are brittle materials. In addition, Debye temperature and average sound velocity are predicted utilizing elastic modulus and density of C-Si alloys. The band structure and the partial density of states imply that C_(16) and Si_(16) are indirect band gap semiconductors, while C_(12)Si_4, C_8Si_8, and C_4Si_(12) are semi-metallic alloys.  相似文献

First-principles molecular dynamics calculations of the structural, elastic, vibrational and electronic properties of amorphous Al(2)O(3), in a system consisting of a supercell of 80 atoms, are reported. A detailed analysis of the interatomic correlations allows us to conclude that the short-range order is mainly composed of AlO(4) tetrahedra, but, in contrast with previous results, also an important number of AlO(6) octahedra and AlO(5) units are present. The vibrational density of states presents two frequency bands, related to bond-bending and bond-stretching modes. It also shows other recognizable features present in similar amorphous oxides. We also present the calculation of elastic properties (bulk modulus and shear modulus). The calculated electronic structure of the material, including total and partial electronic density of states, charge distribution, electron localization function and the ionicity for each species, gives evidence of correlation between the ionicity and the coordination for each Al atom.  相似文献

First principles calculations of structural, electronic, elastic, and phonon properties of the intermetallic compounds FeSi and CoSi in the B2 (CsCl) structure are presented, using the pseudopotential plane-wave approach based on density functional theory, within the local density approximation. The optimized lattice constants, independent elastic constants, bulk modulus, and first-order pressure derivative of the bulk modulus are reported for the B2 structure and compared with earlier experimental and theoretical calculations. A linear-response approach to density functional theory is used to derive the phonon dispersion curves, and the vibrational partial and total density of states. Atomic displacement patterns for FeSi at the Γ, X, and R symmetry points are presented. The calculated zone-center optical phonon mode for FeSi is in good agreement with experimental and theoretical data.  相似文献

We report a detailed ab initio study of the structural, electronic, and volume dependent elastic and lattice dynamical properties of Sr(Ni0.5Si0.5)2. The calculations have been carried out within the local density functional approximation using norm-conserving pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis. The phonon dispersion curves along the high-symmetry directions and phonon frequencies with their Grüneisen parameters at the Brillouin zone center are computed by using density functional perturbation theory while the elastic constants are calculated in metric-tensor formulation. The band structure, and partial densities of states and Fermi surface topology are also discussed.  相似文献

The elastic, electronic and thermodynamic properties of fluoro-perovskite KZnF3 have been calculated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. The exchange-correlation potential is treated with the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE). Also, we have used the Engel and Vosko GGA formalism (GGA-EV) to improve the electronic band structure calculations. The calculated structural properties are in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical data. The elastic constants C ij are calculated using the total energy variation with strain technique. The shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and the Lamé coefficients for polycrystalline KZnF3 aggregates are estimated in the framework of the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximations. The ductility behavior of this compound is interpreted via the calculated elastic constants C ij . Electronic and bonding properties are discussed from the calculations of band structure, density of states and electron charge density. The thermodynamic properties are predicted through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account. The variation of bulk modulus, lattice constant, heat capacities and the Debye temperature with pressure and temperature are successfully obtained.  相似文献

The phonon vibrational frequencies, electronic and elastic properties of SrFCl, one of the members of the alkaline-earth fluorohalide family crystallizing with the PbFCl-type structure, have been investigated, for the first time, at the ab initio level, by using the periodic CRYSTAL program. Both Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional theory (DFT) Hamiltonians have been used, with the latter in its local density, gradient-corrected (PW91), and hybrid (B3LYP) versions. The structural and elastic properties are in good agreement with experiment, with the exception of those calculated within the local density approximation, which were found to be systematically under-estimated (distances) or over-estimated (elastic properties). As regards the phonon frequencies, B3LYP and PW91 provide excellent results, the mean absolute difference with respect to the experimental Raman data being 4.1% and 3.6%, respectively.  相似文献

Employing the ab initio total energy method based on the density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation, we have systematically investigated the theoretical mechanical properties of copper (Cu). The theoretical tensile strengths are calculated to be 25.3 GPa, 5.9 GPa, and 37.6 GPa for the fcc Cu single crystal in the [001], [110], and [111] directions, respectively. Among the three directions, the [110] direction is the weakest one due to the occurrence of structure transition at the lower strain and the weakest interaction of atoms between the (110) planes, while the [111] direction is the strongest direction because of the strongest interaction of atoms between the (111) planes. In terms of the elastic constants of Cu single crystal, we also estimate some mechanical quantities of polycrystalline Cu, including bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E p , and Poisson’s ratio ν.  相似文献

We have performed accurate ab initio total energy calculations using the full-potential linear augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method with the local density approximation for the exchange–correlation potential to investigate the systematic trends for structural and elastic properties of the cubic LaFe4A12 skutterudites’ family depending on the type of A pnicogen atom (A stands for P, As and Sb). The calculated equilibrium lattice constants and internal free parameters are in good agreement with the experimental results. For the first time, the numerical estimates of the independent elastic constants and their pressure dependence are performed using the total energy variation as function of strain technique. Isotropic elastic parameters and related properties, namely bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Lamé’s coefficients, average sound velocity and Debye temperature, are estimated in the framework of the Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation for ideal polycrystalline LaFe4A12 aggregates.  相似文献

Spin polarized ab initio calculations have been carried out to study the structural, electronic, elastic and thermal properties of RHg (R = Ce, Pr, Eu and Gd) intermetallic compounds in B2 structure. The calculations have been performed by using both generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local spin density approximation (LSDA). The calculated value of lattice constant (a 0) for these compounds with GGA is in better agreement with the experimental data than those with LSDA. Bulk modulus (B), first-order pressure derivative of bulk modulus and magnetic moment (μ B ) are also presented. The energy band structure and electron density of states show the occupancy of 4f states for light as well as heavy rare earth atom. The elastic constants are predicted from which all the related mechanical properties like Poisson’s ratio (σ), Young’s modulus (E), shear modulus (G H ) and anisotropy factor (A) are calculated. The ductility or brittleness of these compounds is predicted from Pugh’s rule (B/G H ) and Cauchy pressure (C 12 ? C 44). The Debye temperature (θ D ) is estimated from the average sound velocity, which have not been calculated and measured yet.  相似文献

Using the first-principles calculations based on spin density functional theory(DFT), we investigate the structure,elastic properties, and electronic structure of Pnnm-CrB4. It is found that Pnnm-CrB_4 is thermodynamically and mechanically stable. The calculated elastic properties such as the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio indicate that CrB_4 is an incompressible material. Vicker's hardness of Pnnm-CrB_4 is estimated to be 26.3 GPa, which is in good agreement with the experimental values. The analysis of the investigated electronic properties shows that PnnmCrB_4 has the metallic character and there exist strong B–B and Cr–B bonds in the compound, which are further confirmed by Bader's quantum theory of atoms in molecules(QTAIM). Thermodynamic properties are also investigated.  相似文献
