Thermodynamic properties of MgO under high pressure from first-principles calculations

The equations of state (EOS) and other thermodynamic properties of the rocksalt (RS) structure MgO are investigated by ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method. The obtained results are consistent with the experimental data and those calculated by others. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the phononic effects are considered, the dependences of relative volume V/V₀ on pressure P, cell volume V on temperature T, and Debye temperature Θ and specific heat C_V on pressure P are successfully obtained. The variation of the thermal expansion with temperature and pressure is investigated, which shows the temperature has hardly any effect on the thermal expansion at higher pressure.

Structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of cubic Zn3N2 under high pressure from first-principles calculations

The structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of cubic Zn₃N₂ under hydrostatic pressure up to 80 GPa are investigated using the local density approximation method with pseudopotentials of the ab initio norm-conserving full separable Troullier-Martin scheme in the frame of density functional theory. The structural parameters obtained at ambient pressure are in agreement with experimental data and other theoretical results. The change of bond lengths of two different types of Zn-N bond with pressure suggests that the tetrahedral Zn-N bond is slightly less compressible than the octahedral bond. By fitting the calculated band gap, the first and second order pressure coefficients for the direct band gap ofthe Zn₃N₂ were determined to be 1.18×10⁻² eV/GPa and −2.4×10⁻⁴ eV/(GPa)², respectively. Based on the Mulliken population analysis, Zn₃N₂ was found to have a higher covalent character with increasing pressure. As temperature increases, heat capacity, enthalpy, product of temperature and entropy increase, whereas the Debye temperature and free energy decrease. The present study leads to a better understanding of how Zn₃N₂ materials respond to compression.     

Structural,elastic and thermodynamic properties under pressure and temperature effects of MgIn2S4 and CdIn2S4

A density functional-based method is used to investigate the structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the cubic spinel semiconductors MgIn₂S₄ and CdIn₂S₄ at different pressures and temperatures. Computed ground structural parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental data. Single-crystal elastic parameters are calculated for pressure up to 10 GPa and temperature up to 1200 K. The obtained elastic constants values satisfy the requirement of mechanical stability, indicating that MgIn₂S₄ and CdIn₂S₄ compounds could be stable in the investigated pressure range. Isotropic elastic parameters for ideal polycrystalline MgIn₂S₄ and CdIn₂S₄ aggregates are computed in the framework of the Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation. Pressure and thermal effects on some macroscopic properties such as lattice constant, volume expansion coefficient and heat capacities are predicted using the quasi-harmonic Debye model in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account.

Structural and thermodynamic properties of WB at high pressure and high temperature

The structure parameters and electronic structures of tungsten boride (WB) have been investigated by using the density functional theory (DFT). Our calculating results display the bulk modulus of WB are 352±2 GPa (K′₀=4.29) and 322±3 GPa (K′₀=4.21) by LDA and GGA methods, respectively. We have analyzed the probable reason of the discrepancy from the bulk modulus between theoretical and experimental results. The compression behavior of the unit cell axes is anisotropic, with the c-axis being more compressible than the a-axis. By analyzing the bond lengths information, it also demonstrated that WB has a lower compressibility at high pressure. From the partial densities of states (PDOS) of WB, we found that the Fermi lever is mostly contributed by the d states of W atom and p states of B atom and that the contributions from the s, p states of W atom and s states of B atom are small. Moreover, using the Gibbs 2 program, the thermodynamic properties of WB are obtained in a wide temperature range at high pressure for the first time in this work.

Pressure-dependent mechanical and thermodynamic properties of newly discovered cubic Na2He

Recently for the first time, a stable compound of He and Na (Na₂He) is predicted at high pressure. We explore the pressure-dependent elastic, mechanical and thermodynamic properties of this newly discovered Na₂He by using ab initio technique. The calculation presents good accordance between the theoretical and experimental lattice parameters. Though the most stable structure of Na₂He is found at 300?GPa, present study ensures the mechanical stability of this compound up to 500?GPa. The study of Cauchy pressure, Pugh's ratio, and Poisson's ratio implies the ductile manner of Na₂He up to 500?GPa. According to the value of Poisson's ratio the bonding force exists in Na₂He is central. The study of Zener anisotropy factor indicates that Na₂He is an anisotropic material but near at 300?GPa approximately isotropic nature of Na₂He is revealed. The study of the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus and Vickers hardness implies that the hardness of Na₂He can be improved by applying external pressure. However, the Debye temperature, melting temperature and minimum thermal conductivity of Na₂He are also calculated and discussed at different pressures.
