There has been significant concern in analyzing the structural stability, structural properties, and pressure-induced structural phase transition of refractory metal carbides, RC (R = Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, and Ta), by using the three-body force potential model calculation modified approach. The more accurate description of the interionic spacing (r0) suggests that the interactions considered in the present computation are capable of correctly predicting the structural properties of these materials. In the preset paper, we have investigated the relative stability of the two competitive phases of metal carbides and discussed the possible phase transitions from its parental NaCl (B1) type phase to its most stable CsCl (B2) type phase in the pressure range 344–572 GPa. The computed interionic spacing (r0) and phase transition pressures (PT) are in reasonable agreement with the other reported data.

The present paper reports the structural stability, pressure-induced phase transition, and thermophysical properties for refractory metal nitrides (viz: TiN, ZrN, HfN, VN, NbN, and TaN) computed using a three-body force potential model. The structural phase transitions from a parental NaCl (B1) type phase to the most stable CsCl (B2) type phase has been observed in the pressure range 162–370 GPa. Study includes the computation of thermophysical properties (U, f, θD, υ0,γ, β, αV/CV), where some of the properties are being reported for the first time on these materials.

The high-pressure structural phase transition of semiconductor PbS has been investigated, using the three body potential (TBP) model. Phase transition pressures are associated with a sudden collapse in volume. The phase transition pressures and related volume collapses obtained from this model show a generally good agreement with available results. Moreover, the elastic properties of PbS are also investigated.

The high pressure induced structural phase transition and elastic properties of three Europium chalcogenides (EuX; X = S, Se, Te) have been studied using a two body potential approach. The calculated compression curves of EuS, EuSe and EuTe obtained so has been compared with recently measured three body potential data. The calculated transition pressures are in good agreement with the experimental data. The phase transition pressure for EuS, EuSe and EuTe going from the NaCl phase to CsCl phase have been observed are 22 GPa, 15 GPa, 10 GPa respectively, close the theoretical and experimental data. We have also calculated bulk modulas and second order elastic constants at high pressure which show partly ionic nature of theses compounds. The B1 (NaCl) phase is found to be higher in energy than the B2 (CsCl) phase and more stable at zero pressure.
