We report a first principles calculation of pressure-induced structural phase transition properties of uranium chalcogenides (UX; X=S, Se and Te). The total energies as a function of volume are obtained by means of self-consistent tight binding linear muffin orbital method (TB-LMTO) by performing spin and non-spin polarized calculations to determine the magnetic and structural stabilities. From the present study, we predict a magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetic (FM) to non-magnetic (NM) state around 67.7 and 10.2 GPa for US and USe, respectively. The pressure-induced magnetic transitions are found second-order in nature. We have also predicted structural phase transition from FM-NaCl-type (B1phase) structure to NM-CsCl-type (B2phase) structure at around 77.5, 23.5 for US and USe, respectively, while UTe undergoes from FM-B1to FM-B2phase around 12.0 GPa.

AbstractPressure-induced structural aspects of NaCl-type (B1) to CsCl-type (B2) structure in MgX [X = S, Se, Te] semiconductors are presented. An effective interionic interaction potential (EIOP) with long range Coulomb, van der Waals (vdW) interaction and the short-range repulsive interaction upto second-neighbor ions within the Hafemeister and Flygare approach is developed. Particular attention is devoted to evaluate the vdW coefficients following the variational method, as both the cation and the anion are polarizable. Our result on vast volume discontinuity in pressure volume phase diagram identifies the structural phase transition from B1 to B2 structure. The estimated value of the phase transition pressure (Pt) is consistent with results previously published. The variations of elastic constants with pressure follow a systematic trend identical to that observed in others compounds of NaCl type structure family.
