The structural, electronic, magnetic and elastic properties of Mo 2 FeB 2 under high pressure have been investigated with first-principles calculations. Furthermore, the thermal dynamic properties of Mo 2 FeB 2 were also studied with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The volume of Mo 2 FeB 2 decreases with the increase in pressure. Using the analysis of the density of the states, atom population and Mulliken overlap population, it is observed that as the pressure increases, the B–B bonds are strengthened and the B–Mo covalency decreases. Moreover, for all pressures, Mo 2 FeB 2 is detected in the anti-ferromagnetic phase and the magnetic moments decrease with the increase in pressure. The calculated bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and universal anisotropy index all increase with the increase in pressure. From thermal expansion coefficient analysis, it is found that Mo 2 FeB 2 shows good volume invariance under high pressure and temperature. The examination of the dependence of heat capacity on the temperature and pressure shows that heat capacity is more sensitive to temperature than to pressure.

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.

the equilibrium lattice constants, elastic and thermodynamic properties of cubic CdTe are systemically investigated at high temperature using the plane-wave pseudopotential method as well as the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The bulk modulus of CdTe are calculated as a function of temperature up to 1000K, the relationship between bulk modulusBand pressure is also obtained. The results gained from this model will provide overall predictions accurately for the temperature and pressure dependence of various quantities such as the bulk modulus, the heat capacity and the thermal expansion coefficient. More over, the dependences between Debye temperature and temperature are also successfully obtained. Our results are compared with the experimental data and discussed in light of previous works.

Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the pressure and temperature dependences of linear expansion coefficient, bulk modulus, Debye temperature and heat capacity have been investigated. The calculated thermodynamic properties were compared with experimental data and satisfactory agreement is reached.

The hydrostatic behaviour of a cubic dense inorganic–organic framework [DABCOH22+][K(ClO4)3] has been systematically studied via high-pressure synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. Further first principles calculations of full elastic tensors give full mapping of the Young's moduli, shear moduli and Poisson's ratios of this material.

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of Mg2Si, Mg2Sn, CaMgSi and MgSnSr phases in Mg–Sn–Si–Ca(Sr) alloys have been investigated by implementing first-principles calculations. Formation enthalpies and cohesive energies show that MgSnSr has the strongest alloying ability and CaMgSi has the highest structural stability. The bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E, G/B, Poisson ratio [Formula: see text], anisotropy index A[Formula: see text] are estimated after evaluating the elastic constants. The mechanical properties are further analyzed and discussed. Finally, the Gibbs free energy and Debye temperature of these phases are calculated by means of the quasi-harmonic Debye model in temperature ranging from 0 K to 1000 K.
