The present study explores the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of the newly synthesized monoclinic Zintl phase BaIn2P2 using a pseudopotential plane-wave method in the framework of density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. The calculated lattice constants and internal coordinates are in very good agreement with the experimental findings. Independent single-crystal elastic constants as well as numerical estimations of the bulk modulus, the shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, Pugh's indicator of brittle/ductile behaviour and the Debye temperature for the corresponding polycrystalline phase were obtained. The elastic anisotropy of BaIn2P2 was investigated using three different indexes. The calculated electronic band structure and the total and site-projected l-decomposed densities of states reveal that this compound is a direct narrow-band-gap semiconductor. Under the influence of hydrostatic pressure, the direct D–D band gap transforms into an indirect B-D band gap at 4.08 GPa, then into a B–Γ band gap at 10.56 GPa. Optical macroscopic constants, namely, the dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity coefficient, absorption coefficient and energy-loss function, for polarized incident radiation along the [100], [010] and [001] directions were investigated.  相似文献

We have performed a first principles study of structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of orthorhombic Sb2S3 and Sb2Se3 compounds using the density functional theory within the local density approximation. The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivatives of these compounds have been obtained. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities, Debye temperature, and hardness have also been estimated in the present work. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valence electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant are calculated. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.  相似文献

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an inorganic compound which is widely used in industry, chemistry, construction, ocean acidification, and biomineralization due to its rich constituent on earth and excellent performance, in which calcium carbonate hydrates are important systems. In Zou et al's work (Science, 2019, 363, 396-400), they found a novel calcium carbonate hemihydrate phase, but the structural stability, optical, and mechanical properties have not been studied. In this work, the stability, electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of novel calcium carbonate hydrates were investigated by using the first-principles calculations using density functional theory. CaCO3·xH2O (x = 1/2, 1 and 6) are determined dynamically stable phases by phonon spectrum, but the Gibbs energy of reaction of CaCO3·1/2H2O is higher than other calcium carbonate hydrates. That is why CaCO3·1/2H2O is hard to synthesize in the experiments. In addition, the optical and mechanical properties of CaCO3·xH2O (x = 1/2, 1 and 6) are expounded in detail. It shows that the CaCO3·1/2H2O has the largest bulk modulus, shear modulus, and Young's modulus with the values 60.51 GPa, 36.56 GPa, and 91.28 GPa. This work will provide guidance for experiments and its applications, such as biomineralization, geology, and industrial processes.  相似文献

Calcium apatites with the general chemical formula (Ca, X)10(PO4, Y)6Z2 represent a mineral family of utmost importance in several fields, for example, bone biology, biomaterials, and mineralogy. However, few works have focused on the mechanical properties of these phases, and in particular, no data are available on the thermomechanical and thermodynamic properties of carbonate-bearing (hydroxyl)apatites. In the present work, the equation of state of type A carbonated apatite (CAp, Ca10(PO4)6CO3, space group P1) was calculated by ab initio quantum mechanical methods within the density functional theory (DFT) framework. Starting from athermal results (at 0 K), the combined effect of temperature and pressure was investigated through the quasiharmonic approximation (QHA). In athermal conditions, the equation of state of the CAp unit cell volume can be described by a third-order Birch-Murnaghan formulation, with parameters V0 = 538.14(5) Å3, K0 = 106.2(7) GPa, and K′ = 4.6(4). The QHA well described the temperature and pressure dependence of the thermodynamics and mechanical properties of the mineral. For instance, the bulk modulus at 0 GPa and ambient temperature (300 K) is K T0 = 102.95 GPa, which is lower than that of stoichiometric apatite by about 6%. The unit cell thermal expansion coefficient between 0 and 600 K was also calculated and reported. The results are in line with the few available experimental data reported in literature on type AB carbonated hydroxylapatite. The reported findings further extend the knowledge of the mechanical and thermal behaviors of this important mineral found in biological environments, results that are useful for biotechnological and other applications of the (C)OHAp phases.  相似文献

Experimental data on the pressure dependence of unit cell parameters for the gas hydrates of ethane (cubic structure I, pressure range 0–2 GPa), xenon (cubic structure I, pressure range 0–1.5 GPa) and the double hydrate of tetrahydrofuran+xenon (cubic structure II, pressure range 0–3 GPa) are presented. Approximation of the data using the cubic Birch–Murnaghan equation, P=1.5B0[(V0/V)7/3?(V0/V)5/3], gave the following results: for ethane hydrate V0=1781 Å3, B0=11.2 GPa; for xenon hydrate V0=1726 Å3, B0=9.3 GPa; for the double hydrate of tetrahydrofuran+xenon V0=5323 Å3, B0=8.8 GPa. In the last case, the approximation was performed within the pressure range 0–1.5 GPa; it is impossible to describe the results within a broader pressure range using the cubic Birch–Murnaghan equation. At the maximum pressure of the existence of the double hydrate of tetrahydrofuran+xenon (3.1 GPa), the unit cell volume was 86 % of the unit cell volume at zero pressure. Analysis of the experimental data obtained by us and data available from the literature showed that 1) the bulk modulus of gas hydrates with classical polyhedral structures, in most cases, are close to each other and 2) the bulk modulus is mainly determined by the elasticity of the hydrogen‐bonded water framework. Variable filling of the cavities with guest molecules also has a substantial effect on the bulk modulus. On the basis of the obtained results, we concluded that the bulk modulus of gas hydrates with classical polyhedral structures and existing at pressures up to 1.5 GPa was equal to (9±2) GPa. In cases when data on the equations of state for the hydrates were unavailable, the indicated values may be recommended as the most probable ones.  相似文献

High pressure behaviour of disordered pyrochlore CsMgInF6 (Pnma, Z=4) has been studied with powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction to 8.0 and 6.94 GPa, respectively, in diamond anvil cells at room temperature. The material is structurally stable to at least 8.0 GPa with no ordering of the In3+ and Mg2+ cations. The P-V data are fitted by a Birch-Murnaghan equation of state with the zero-pressure bulk modulus B0=33.4(3) GPa and the unit-cell volume at ambient pressure V0=603.2(4) Å3 for the first pressure derivative of the bulk modulus B′=4.00. The major contribution to the bulk compressibility arises from the changes in the coordination sphere around the Cs atoms. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the crystal structure of CsMgInF6 is comparable to the effect of chemical pressure induced by the incorporation of ions of different sizes into the A and B sites in defect AB2+B3+F6 pyrochlores.  相似文献

The novel intermetallic compound WAl2 crystallizes with space group P6422 and lattice parameters a=4.7422(1) Å, c=6.6057(2) Å. The crystal structure was solved from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. WAl2 was found to be the first aluminide that is isotypic with CrSi2. A high-pressure powder X-ray diffraction study showed its stability up to at least 31.5(1) GPa. The bulk modulus was calculated by fitting a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state to the pressure-volume data as K0=168(11) GPa and its pressure derivative K′=7.7(1.0). Partially covalent bonding between W and Al atoms was indicated by means of the electron localization function (ELF) and explains the anisotropic compression behavior. Quantum chemical calculations identify WAl2 as a potential high-temperature phase.  相似文献

High-throughput first-principle calculations are implemented to study the structural, mechanical, and electronic properties of cubic XTiO3 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba, Pb) ceramics under high pressure. The effects of applied pressure on physical parameters, such as elastic constants, bulk modulus, Young's modulus, shear modulus, ductile-brittle transition, elastic anisotropy, Poisson's ratio, and band gap, are investigated. Results indicate that high pressure improves the resistance to bulk, elastic, and shear deformation for XTiO3 ceramics. Pugh's ratios B/G reveal that CaTiO3 and PbTiO3 ceramics are ductile, but SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 ceramics are brittle under the ground state. The brittle-to-ductile transition pressures are 24.26 GPa for SrTiO3 and 43.23 GPa for BaTiO3. Under high pressure, the strong anisotropy promotes the cross-slip process of screw dislocations, and then enhances the plasticity of XTiO3 ceramics. Meanwhile, XTiO3 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba) is intrinsically an indirect-gap ceramic, but PbTiO3 is a direct-gap ceramic. High pressure increases the band gap of XTiO3 (X = Ca, Sr, Ba) ceramic, but decreases that of PbTiO3 ceramic. This work is helpful for designing and applying XTiO3 ceramics under high pressure.  相似文献

The high‐pressure behavior of non‐metal nitrides is of special interest for inorganic and theoretical chemistry as well as materials science, as these compounds feature intriguing elastic properties. The double nitride α‐BP3N6 was investigated by in situ single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (XRD) upon cold compression to a maximum pressure of about 42 GPa, and its isothermal bulk modulus at ambient conditions was determined to be 146(6) GPa. At maximum pressure the sample was laser‐heated, which resulted in the formation of an unprecedented high‐pressure polymorph, β‐BP3N6. Its structure was elucidated by single‐crystal XRD, and can be described as a decoration of a distorted hexagonal close packing of N with B in tetrahedral and P in octahedral voids. Hence, β‐BP3N6 is the first nitride to contain PN6 octahedra, representing the much sought‐after proof of principle for sixfold N‐coordinated P that has been predicted for numerous high‐pressure phases of nitrides.  相似文献

The pressure-induced disproportionation reaction phase transition, mechanical, and dynamical properties of LaH2 with fluorite structure under high pressure are investigated by performing first-principles calculations using the projector augmented wave (PAW) method. The phase transition of 2LaH2 → LaH + LaH3 obtained from the usual condition of equal enthalpies occurs at the pressure of 10.38 GPa for Perdew–Wang (PW91) functional and 6.05 GPa for Ceperly–Adler (CA) functional, respectively. The result shows that the PW91 functional calculations agree excellently with the experimental finding of 11 GPa of synchrotron radiation (SR) X-ray diffraction (XRD) of Machida et al. and 10 GPa of their PBE functional theoretical result. Three independent single-crystal elastic constants, polycrystalline bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, elastic anisotropy, Poisson's ratio, the brittle/ductile characteristics and elastic wave velocities over different directions dependences on pressure are also successfully obtained. Especially, the phonon dispersion curves and corresponding phonon density of states of LaH2 under high pressure are determined systematically using a linear-response approach to density functional perturbation theory (DFPT). Our results demonstrate that LaH2 in fluorite phase can be stable energetically up to 10.38 GPa, stabilized mechanically up to 17.98 GPa, and stabilized dynamically up to 29 GPa, so it may remain a metastable phase above 10.38 GPa up to 29 GPa, these calculated results accord with the recent X-Ray diffraction experimental finding and theoretical predictions of Machida et al.  相似文献

The phase transition of TiN from the NaCl structure to the CsCl structure is investigated by the first-principles plane wave pseudopotential density functional theory method, and the thermodynamic properties of the NaCl structures are obtained through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. It is found that the pressures for transition from the NaCl structure to the CsCl structure are 364.1 GPa (for GGA) and 322.2 (for LDA) from equal enthalpies. The calculated ground state properties such as equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivative are in good agreement with experimental and theoretical data of others. Moreover, the dependences of the relative volume V/V 0 on the pressure P, the Debye temperature ?? D , and heat capacity C V on the pressure P and temperature T, as well as the variation of the thermal expansion ?? with temperature and pressure are also successfully obtained.  相似文献

The dense, anhydrous zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), Zn(Im)2 ( 1 ) and LiB(Im)4 ( 2 ), adopt the same zni topology and differ only in terms of the inorganic species present in their structures. Their mechanical properties (specifically the Young’s and bulk moduli, along with the hardness) have been elucidated by using high pressure, synchrotron X‐ray diffraction, density functional calculations and nanoindentation studies. Under hydrostatic pressure, framework 2 undergoes a phase transition at 1.69 GPa, which is somewhat higher than the transition previously reported in 1 . The Young’s modulus (E) and hardness (H) of 1 (E≈8.5, H≈1 GPa) is substantially higher than that of 2 (E≈3, H≈0.1 GPa), whilst its bulk modulus is relatively lower (≈14 GPa cf. ≈16.6 GPa). The heavier, zinc‐containing material was also found to be significantly harder than its light analogue. The differential behaviour of the two materials is discussed in terms of the smaller pore volume of 2 and the greater flexibility of the LiN4 tetrathedron compared with the ZnN4 and BN4 units.  相似文献

Artificial smart materials with switchable multifunctionality are of immense interest owing to their wide application in sensors, displays and memory devices. Lanthanide complexes are promising multifunctional materials integrating optical and magnetic characteristics. However, synergistic manipulation of different physical properties in lanthanide systems is still challenging. Herein we designed and synthesized a mononuclear complex [DyIII(SCN)3(depma)2(4-hpy)2] (1), which incorporates 9-diethylphosphonomethylanthracene (depma) as a photo-active component and 4-hydroxypyridine (4-hpy) as a polar component. This compound shows several unusual features: (a) reversible thermo-responsive phase transition associated with the order–disorder transition of 4-hpy and SCN, which leads to thermochromic behavior and dielectric anomaly; (b) reversible photo-induced dimerization of anthracene groups, which leads to synergistic switching of luminescence, magnetic and dielectric properties. To our knowledge, compound 1 is the first example of lanthanide complexes that show stimuli-triggered synergistic and reversible switching of luminescence, magnetic and dielectric properties.

[DyIII(SCN)3(depma)2(4-hpy)2] (1) shows reversible thermo-induced phase transition associated with thermochromism and dielectric anomaly and photo-induced dimerization with synergistic switching of luminescence, magnetic and dielectric properties.  相似文献

The structural, elastic, electronic, and optical properties of cubic spinel MgIn2S4 and CdIn2S4 compounds have been calculated using a full relativistic version of the full-potential linearized-augmented plane wave with the mixed basis FP/APW+lo method. The exchange and correlation potential is treated by the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA). Moreover, the Engel-Vosko GGA formalism is also applied to optimize the corresponding potential for band structure calculations. The ground state properties, including the lattice constants, the internal parameter, the bulk modulus, and the pressure derivative of the bulk modulus are in reasonable agreement with the available data. Using the total energy-strain technique, we have determined the full set of first-order elastic constants Cij and their pressure dependence, which have not been calculated or measured yet. The shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio are calculated for polycrystalline XIn2S4 aggregates. The Debye temperature is estimated from the average sound velocity. Electronic band structures show a direct band gap (Г-Г) for MgIn2S4 and an indirect band gap (K-Г) for CdIn2S4. The calculated band gaps with EVGGA show a significant improvement over the GGA. The optical constants, including the dielectric function ε(ω), the refractive index n(ω), the reflectivity R(ω), and the energy loss function L(ω) were calculated for radiation up to 30 eV.  相似文献

The phase transition of NaH from NaCl- to CsCl-type structure is investigated by an ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method with the norm-conserving pseudopotential scheme in the frame of the generalized gradient approximation correction; the isothermal bulk modulus and its first and second pressure derivatives of the NaCl- and CsCl-type structures under high pressure and temperature are obtained through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The phase transition obtained from the usual condition of equal enthalpies occurs at the pressure of 32 GPa, which is consistent with the experimental and other calculated values. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the phononic effects are considered, the dependences of cell volume V and lattice constant a on temperature T at zero pressure, the isothermal bulk modulus B0 and its pressure derivatives B0′and B0″ on pressure P along isotherms 0, 300, and 600 K, are also successfully obtained.  相似文献

Structural, mechanical, elastic, and dielectric properties of the AMgF3 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) compounds were investigated using classical atomistic simulation. A new set of interatomic potentials was developed for these compounds. Lattice parameters and interatomic distances have shown to accurately reproduce all structures, with very close agreement to the experimental data. In all cases, the relative error is below 0.5%. Effect of hydrostatic pressure in the structural, mechanical, elastic, and dielectric properties of these materials were studied from 0 up to 50 GPa. Compounds behavior and stability under pressure were analyzed. KMgF3 and RbMgF3 changed from brittle to ductile at approximately 2 GPa. These calculations play an important role in understanding the properties of the AMgF3 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) compounds under pressure, and open up a new opportunity to study defects in this class of materials. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Within density functional theory with regard to the dispersion interaction the crystal structure parameters of hydrogen azide are determined. The pressure effect on its structural and electronic properties is studied in the range of 0-10 GPa. By means of the Vinet equation of state the bulk modulus of compression is found to be 9.26 GPa. It is shown that with an increase in the pressure molecules approach each other in molecular layers and this is accompanied by an increase in the total electron density contours, which means the principal possibility for polymerization. The external pressure of 10 GPa leads to the broadening of the upper valence energy bands and a decrease in the band gap from 6.14 eV to 5.51 eV.  相似文献

The complex density functional theory (DFT) calculations of structural, electronic, linear and nonlinear optical properties for the defect chalcopyrite CdAl2Se4 compound have been reported using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method as implemented in the WIEN2k code. We employed the Wu and Cohen generalized gradient approximation (GGA-WC), which is based on exchange-correlation energy optimization to calculate the total energy. Also we have used the Engel-Vosko GGA formalism, which optimizes the corresponding potential for band structure, density of states and the spectral features of the linear and nonlinear optical properties. This compound has a wide direct energy band gap of about 2.927 eV with both the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum located at the center of the Brillouin zone. The ground state quantities such as lattice parameters (a, c, x, y and z), bulk modulus B and its pressure derivative B′ are evaluated. We have calculated the frequency-dependent complex ε(ω), its zero-frequency limit ε1(0), refractive index n(ω), birefringence Δn(ω), the reflectivity R(ω) and electron energy loss function L(ω). Calculations are reported for the frequency-dependent complex second-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities. We find opposite signs of the contributions of the 2ω and 1ω inter/intra-band to the imaginary part for the dominant component through the wide optical frequency range.  相似文献

The structural, electronic, elastic and thermal properties of YX (X = Cd, In, Au, Hg and Tl) intermetallic compounds crystallizing in B2-type structure have been studied using first principles density functional theory within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange correlation potential. Amongst all the YX compounds, YIn is stable in distorted tetragonal (P4/mmm) CuAu-type structure at ambient pressure with very small energy difference of 0.00681 Ry. but it undergoes to CsCl-type (B2 phase) structure at 23.3 GPa. Rest of the compounds are stable in B2 structure at ambient condition. The values of elastic moduli as a function of pressure are also reported. The ductility of these compounds has been analyzed using the Pugh rule. Our calculated results indicate that YTl is the most ductile amongst all the B2-YX compounds. YAu is the hardest and less compressible compound due to the largest bulk modulus. The elastic properties such as Young's modulus (E), Poisson's ratio (σ) and anisotropic ratio (A) are also predicted. The anisotropic factor is found to be unity for YHg which shows that this compound is isotropic.  相似文献
