First-principles study on electronic structure and elastic properties of Ti2SC

We have performed first-principles study on electronic structure and elastic properties of Ti₂SC. The absence of band gap at the Fermi level and the finite value of the density of states at the Fermi energy reveal the metallic behavior of this compound. The five independent elastic constants were derived and the bulk modulus, Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio were determined. The high bulk modulus and hardness was found to be originated from the strong Ti 3d-S 2p hybridization. Such strong MA bonding is unusual in the MAX phases studied so far. Ti₂SC is elastically stable and exhibits highly elastic isotropy.     

First-principles study of structural,elastic, electronic and thermodynamic properties of topological insulator Bi2Se3 under pressure

The structural, elastic, electronic and thermodynamic properties of the rhombohedral topological insulator Bi₂Se₃ are investigated by the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with the Wu–Cohen (WC) exchange-correlation functional. The calculated lattice constants agree well with the available experimental and other theoretical data. Our GGA calculations indicate that Bi₂Se₃ is a 3D topological insulator with a band gap of 0.287 eV, which are well consistent with the experimental value of 0.3 eV. The pressure dependence of the elastic constants C_ij, bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E, and Poisson’s ratio σ of Bi₂Se₃ are also obtained successfully. The bulk modulus obtained from elastic constants is 53.5 GPa, which agrees well with the experimental value of 53 GPa. We also investigate the shear sound velocity V_S, longitudinal sound velocity V_L, and Debye temperature Θ_E from our elastic constants, as well as the thermodynamic properties from quasi-harmonic Debye model. We obtain that the heat capacity C_v and the thermal expansion coefficient α at 0 GPa and 300 K are 120.78 J mol^?1 K^?1 and 4.70 × 10^?5 K^?1, respectively.     

First-principles study on structural,electronic and ferroelectric properties of Bi2VO5.5 compound

A first-principles investigation of the origin of ferroelectricity in the Aurivillius compound Bi₂VO_5.5 is presented. Calculations with the density functional theory, in conjunction with the modern theory of polarization, allowed us to study the structural, electronic, and polar properties of two configurations built with oxygen vacancies, causing a charge imbalance and a subsequent displacement of the ions, generating two maximum polarizations, one of 14.75 μC/cm² and one of 4.31 μC/cm² along [011] direction. Electron localization function schemes were used to identify the asymmetry of charges in (001), (010) and (100) planes. The results obtained in this study establish that the origin of ferroelectricity is due to the displacement of the ions caused by oxygen vacancies and the asymmetric distribution of the isolated pair of Bi ions. On the other hand, the bandgap calculations and the results of P_s establish that Bi₂VO_5.5 is a candidate ferro-photovoltaic material.     

First-principles study of elastic and electronic properties of layered ternary nitride SrZrN2 under pressure

The structural, elastic, and electronic properties of SrZrN₂ under pressure up to 100?GPa have been carried out with first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. The calculated lattice parameters at 0?GPa and 0?K by using the GGA-PW91-ultrasoft method are in good agreement with the available experimental data and other previous theoretical calculations. The pressure dependence of the elastic constants and the elastic-dependent properties of SrZrN₂, such as bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E, Debye temperature Θ, shear and longitudinal wave velocity V_S and V_L, are also successfully obtained. It is found that all elastic constants increase monotonically with pressure. When the pressure increases up to 140?GPa, the obtained elastic constants do not satisfy the mechanical stability criteria and a phase transition might has occurred. Moreover, the anisotropy of the directional-dependent Young's modulus and the linear compressibility under different pressures are analysed for the first time. Finally, the pressure dependence of the total and partial densities of states and the bonding property of SrZrN₂ are also investigated.

First-principles study on the structure,elastic and electronic properties of hexagonal HfPtAl under pressure

We have investigated the structure, elastic and electronic properties in hexagonal HfPtAl by a first-principles ultrasoft pseudopotential of the plane wave within the density functional theory (DFT) plus the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in the scheme of Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE). All properties are calculated as a function of external pressure. The results of structural parameters have a good agreement with reported experiments and can predict the properties under pressure well. The hexagonal HfPtAl is mechanically stable and behaves in a ductile manner. The TDOS is occupied by Pt-d, Hf-d and Al-p.     

First-principles study of structural stability, electronic and elastic properties of ZrC compounds

We theoretically study the possible pressure-induced structural phase transition, electronic and elastic properties of ZrC by using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), in the presence and absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC). The calculations indicate that there exists a phase transition from the NaCl-type (B1) structure to CsCl-type (B2) structure at the transition pressure of 313.2 GPa (without SOC) and 303.5 GPa (with SOC). The detailed structural changes during the phase transition were analyzed. The band structure shows that B1-ZrC is metallic. A pseudogap appears around the Fermi level of the total density of states (DOS) of the B1 phase of ZrC, which may contribute to its structural stability.     

First-principles study of structural, electronic and elastic properties of single crystal CuZr

Investigations into the structural, electronic and elastic properties of intermetallic CuZr compound had been conducted by the plane-wave pseudopotential method. The calculated lattice constant was consistent well with the experimental value. The absence of band gap and finite value of the density of states (DOS) at the Fermi level reveal the metallic behavior of CuZr crystal, and Zr 4d states give rise to the electrical conductivity. The calculated elastic constants for single crystal CuZr at zero pressure obey the cubic mechanical stability condition, which indicates that the cubic CuZr crystal is mechanical stable at zero pressure. By analyzing the ratio between the bulk and shear moduli, we conclude that CuZr crystal is ductile in nature. The present theoretical investigations might give prediction to polycrystalline CuZr system.     

First-principles study of structural,electronic,elastic,and thermal properties of Imm2-BC

Using the first-principles method, we predict an orthorhombic boron–carbon binary structure with sp~ace group Imm2.This structure is verified to be dynamically and mechanically stable, and possesses a cavity of 27.5 ~2 that makes it a potential molecular sieve material. The C sp~2 and sp~3 hybridized bonding in Imm2 BC is an important factor for its structural stability. The energy band calculations reveal that Imm2 BC is a semiconductor with a band gap of 1.3 eV and has a promising application in the electro-optic field. The lattice thermal conductivity along the crystal [100] direction at room temperature is 186 W·m~(-1)·K~(-1), that is about 5 times higher than those along the [010] and [001] directions, which stems from the different group velocity along the crystal direction. Moreover, the acoustic-optical coupling is important for heat transp~ort in Imm2 BC, and the contribution of optical phonons to lattice thermal conductivity in the [100], [010], and [001]directions is 49%, 59%, and 61%, resp~ectively. This study gives a fundamental understanding of the structural, electronic,elastic, and heat transp~ort properties in Imm2 BC, further enriching the family of boron–carbon binary compounds.
