Prediction of Pressure-Induced Structural Transition and Mechanical Properties of Mg Y from First-Principles Calculations

Using the particle swarm optimization algorithm on crystal structure prediction,we first predict that Mg Y alloy undergoes a first-order phase transition from Cs Cl phase to P4/NMM phase at about 55 GPa with a small volume collapse of 2.63%.The dynamical stability of P4/NMM phase at 55 GPa is evaluated by the phonon spectrum calculation and the electronic structure is discussed.The elastic constants are calculated,after which the bulk moduli,shear moduli,Young's modui,and Debye temperature are derived.The brittleness/ductile behavior,and anisotropy of two phases under pressure are discussed in details.Our results show that external pressure can change the brittle behavior to ductile at10 GPa for Cs Cl phase and improve the ductility of Mg Y alloy.As pressure increases,the elastic anisotropy in shear of Cs Cl phase decreases,while that of P4/NMM phase remains nearly constant.The elastic anisotropic constructions of the directional dependences of reciprocals of bulk modulus and Young's modulus are also calculated and discussed.     

Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Double Perovskite Ca2CrSbO6

First-principles calculations have been performed for the study of the electronic band structure and ferromagnetic properties of double perovskite Ca2CrSbO6. The density of states, total energy, spin magnetic moment, and charge density were calculated and analyzed in details. It is found that Ca2CrSbO6 has a stable ferromagnetic ground state and the spin magnetic moment per molecule is about 2.99#B. The chromium contributes the most in the total magnetic moments. The results indicate that Ca2CrSbO6 is half-metallic.     

Anomalous Optical and Electronic Properties of CaTiO3 Perovskites

With the help of the first-prlnciples full potential linearized augmented plane wave method, absorption coefficients, reflect/vity, dielectric behavior and electronic properties, including electronic energy bands, density of states and charge density distributions, are studied for the tetragonal and cubic CaTiO3. By considering the thermal expansion effects, an approximate method is proposed for the study of the stability of ground state and a tendency of phase transition, based on the minimum free energy principle. Subsequently, numerical calculations are carried out by using the first-principles perturbation method. We demonstrate that the high-temperature phase is cubic. It is shown that optical spectra in tetragonal phase exhibit single-peak feature and differ from multi-peak character in cubic. We find that strong orbital hybridization results in the co-valent bonds between Ti 3d and O 2p electrons and forms two-type dipoles （Ti-Ol and Ti-02） in tetragonal, while the Ti-O dipoles are identical in cubic. It is argued that crystal structure determines the dipole distributions and leads to some electron states among which the dipole-dipole transit/on forbidden is a key, causing such anomalous optical phenomena with the insulator characteristics. The predicted charge density distribution and the tendency of phase transition from tetragonal to cubic are in good agreement with experimental observations.

BaTi2Bi2O的电子结构与磁性

采用第一性原理方法,对BaTi₂Bi₂O的电子结构和磁性进行计算.非磁性态的计算结果显示:费米能级处的态密度主要来自d_z²,d_x²-y²和d_xy三个轨道,同时费米面也主要有三部分组成,并且将其沿着矢量q₁=(π/a,0,0)和q₂=(0,π/a,0)平移时,第三部分费米面(沿着X-R连线)与第一部分费米面(M-A连线)嵌套明显,计算得出磁化系数χ₀(q)在X点出现峰值,与峰值出现在M点的FeAs基超导体不同.上述磁化率峰值可以诱导产生自旋密度波,使得BaTi₂Bi₂O材料的磁性基态是bi-collinear antiferromagnetism(AF3)与blocked checkerboard antiferromagnetism(AF4)的二度简并态.随着空穴掺杂,χ₀(q)的峰值降低,而电子掺杂则导致峰值变大.当自旋涨落被完全压制时,超导出现,这可以解释为什么超导只出现在空穴掺杂型化合物而非电子掺杂型.

First-principles study of structural,elastic, electronic and optical properties of RDX under pressure

ABSTRACT

The influences of pressure on structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of α-RDX under pressure from 0 to 40?GPa have been investigated by performing first-principles calculations. The obtained structural parameters based on the GGA-PBE+G calculations are consistent with previous experimental values. The results of B/G, C₁₂-C₄₄ and Poisson's ratio show that α-RDX has changed to ductility under pressure between 0 and 5?GPa. The obvious rotation of NO₂ group in the equatorial position appears, especially in the range of pressure from 10 to 15?GPa, which influences the elastic and mechanical properties of α-RDX. Moreover, we find that the electrons of α-RDX become more active under higher pressure by comparing the curves of DOS under different pressure. Furthermore, the anisotropy of optical properties under different pressures has been shown.

Effects of alloying element on stabilities,electronic structures,and mechanical properties of Pd-based superalloys

The thermodynamic stabilities, electronic structures, and mechanical properties of the Pd-based superalloys are studied by first principles calculations. In this work, we discuss the effect of Pd-based superalloys made from Al, Si, Sc, Ti,V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir and Pt, and we also calculate a face centered cubic(fcc)structure 2 × 2 × 2 superalloy including 31 Pd atoms and one alloying element T M(Pd_(31)TM). The mixing energies of these Pd-Based superalloys are negative, indicating that all Pd-based superalloys are thermodynamically stable. The Pd_(31)Mn has the lowest mixing energy with a value of-0.97 eV/atom. The electronic structures of the Pd-based superalloys are also studied, the densities of states, elastic constants and moduli of the mechanical properties of the Pd-based superalloys are determined by the stress-strain method and Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation. It is found that Pd_(31)TM is mechanically stable, and Pd_(31)Tc has the largest C_(11), with a value 279.7 GPa. The Pd_(31)Cr has the highest bulk modulus with a value of299.8 GPa. The Pd_(31)Fe has the largest shear modulus and Young's modulus with the values of 73.8 GPa and 195.2 GPa,respectively. By using the anisotropic index, the anisotropic mechanical properties of the Pd_(31)T M are discussed, and threedimensional(3 D) surface contours and the planar projections on(001) and(110) planes are also investigated by the Young modulus.
