AbstractFirst-principles calculations were carried out to explore the structural stability, elastic moduli, ductile or brittle behaviour, anisotropy, dynamical stability, and thermodynamic properties of pure Al and CeT2Al20 (T = Ti, V, Cr, Nb, and Ta) intermetallics. The calculated formation enthalpy and phonon frequencies confirm that these intermetallics satisfy the conditions for structural stability. The elastic constants Cij, elastic moduli B, G, and E, and the hardness Hv indicate these intermetallics have higher hardness and the better resistance against deformation than pure Al. The values of Poisson’s ratio (v) and B/G indicate that CeT2Al20 intermetallics are all brittle materials. The anisotropic constants and acoustic velocities confirm that CeT2Al20 intermetallics are all anisotropic, but CeV2Al20, CeNb2Al20, and CeTa2Al20 are nearly isotropic. Importantly, the calculated thermodynamic parameters show that CeT2Al20 intermetallics exhibit better thermodynamic properties than pure Al at high temperature.

AbstractIn recent years the intermetallic ternary RE2MgGe2 (RE = rare earth) compounds attract interest in a variety of technological areas. We therefore investigate in the present work the structural, electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of Nd2MgGe2 and Gd2MgGe2. Spin–orbit coupling is found to play an essential role in realizing the antiferromagnetic ground state observed in experiments. Both materials show metallicity and application of a Debye-Slater model demonstrates low thermal conductivity and little effects of the RE atom on the thermodynamic behavior.
