The elastic constants and phonon dispersion of metallic C[Formula: see text] are calculated by first-principles calculations. The results show that the metallic C[Formula: see text] is mechanically and dynamically stable under high pressure. The variations of G/B ratio, Poisson’s ratio, elastic anisotropy, acoustic velocity and Debye temperature at the pressure range from 0 GPa to 100 GPa are analyzed. The results reveal that by adjusting the pressures the elastic anisotropy and thermodynamic properties could be improved for better applicability.

The structural stability, thermodynamic, elastic, and electronic properties of cerium (Ce)- lanthanum (La) alloys were investigated for different Ce/La ratios under pressure by first-principles calculations using on-the-fly (OTF) pseudopotential and general gradient approximation (GGA). The ground-state properties of lanthanum and cerium obtained by minimizing the total energy agree favourably with other work.We derived the elastic constants, bulk modulus, and shear modulus of the La-Ce alloys for different Ce/La ratios. Using the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the thermodynamic properties of the La-Ce alloys including the thermal expansion coefficient α and heat capacity Cv are successfully obtained in the temperature range from 0 K to 1000 K. Furthermore, the electronic properties such as density of states and charge densities were also studied.

An investigation on electronic, elastic and thermodynamic properties of VN under high pressure has been conducted using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the plane wave basis set as implemented in the CASTEP code. At elevated pressures VN is predicted to undergo a structural phase transition from the relatively open NaCl-type structure into the denser CsCl-type atomic arrangement. The predicted transition pressure is 189 GPa. The elastic constants, Debye temperature as a function of pressure and temperature of VN are presented.
