We have investigated the elastic and thermal properties of Sr 1-x Ca x RuO 3(0≤x ≤1) perovskite using a modified rigid ion model (MRIM). The trend of variation of our computed specific heat in the temperature range 1 K ≤ T ≤ 1000 K are in good agreement with corresponding experimental data for almost all the compositions (x). The specific heat found to increase with temperature from 1 K to 300 K, while they decrease with concentration (x) for these perovskite ruthenates. Besides, we have reported the thermal properties, like thermal expansion (α), molecular force constant (f), Reststrahlen frequency (υ), cohesive energy (ϕ), Debye temperature (θD) and Gruneisen parameter (γ).

We have applied the Rigid Ion Model (RIM) to study the cohesive and thermal properties of binary intermetallic BeB 2 and TiB 2. The paper reports the calculated results on cohesive energy (ϕ), compressibility (β), molecular force constant (f), Restrahalen frequency (ν0), Debye temperature (Θ D ) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) for the temperature range 50 K ≤ T ≤ 300 K and the effect of van der Waal interaction on these properties are also shown. Our results on Debye temperature are closer to the experimental data. In addition, we have computed the specific heats for BeB 2 and TiB 2 and compared them with the available experimental data.

We have investigated the elastic and thermal properties for perovskite SrCo1-xScxO3-d, by means of Modified Rigid Ion Model (MRIM). We have also computed the second order Elastic constants (SOECs) and their combinations. Besides we have reported the cohesive energy (f), Debye temperature (θD) and Gruneisen parameter (γ). The variation of specific heat (C) at temperature 15 K≤x≤1000 K is computed for SrCo1-xScxO3-d. The computed properties reproduce well with the available data in literature.

We have investigated the bulk modulus and thermal properties of La1-xSmxCoO3 (0≤x≤0.2) at temperatures 1 K≤T≤300 K probably for the first time by incorporating the effect of lattice distortions using the modified rigid ion model (MRIM). The calculated specific heat, thermal expansion, bulk modulus, and other thermal properties reproduce well with the available experimental data, implying that MRIM represents properly the nature of the pure and doped cobaltate. The specific heats are found to increase with temperature and decrease with concentration (x) for the present. The increase in Debye temperature (θD) indicates an anomalous softening of the lattice specific heat because increase in T3-term in the specific heat occurs with the decrease of concentration (x).

We have investigated the thermal and allied properties of Tb0.5Sr0.5CoO3 for the temperature range 1K≤T≤300K using the Modified Rigid Ion Model (MRIM). The calculated bulk modulus, specific heat, and other thermodynamic properties obtained from MRIM have presented proper interpretation of the experimental data, for Sr ions doped TbCoO3 . In addition, the results on the cohesive energy (φ), Debye temperature (θD) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) are also discussed.

We have investigated the cohesive and thermodynamic properties of ( KBr )1-x( KCN )x using an extended three-body force shell model (ETSM), which has been found to be adequately suitable for the description of orientationally disordered mixed cyanide-halide crystals. The specific heat of ( KBr )1-x( KCN )x for compositions (x=0.53, 0.65, 0.73, 0.84 and 0.93) at temperature 10 K ≤T≤150 K have been computed using the ETSM for the first time. The paper also reports the calculated results on Debye temperature (Θ D ), cohesive energy (Φ), compressibility (β), molecular force constant (f) and Restrahlen frequency (ν0) of ( KBr )1-x( KCN )x. The results on specific heat and some other thermal properties are in good agreement with their available experimental data.

We have systematically investigated the effect of phonons on elastic, thermal and cohesive properties for rare earth gallates RGaO3 (R = La, Ce, Nd, Pr, Sm, Gd) by means of a Rigid Ion Model after modifying its framework to incorporate the van der Waals interactions. Besides that, we have calculated the temperature dependence of the specific heat for the present orthogallates. The results on bulk modulus, Debye temperature and specific heat reproduce well with the available experimental data.

We have investigated the elastic, cohesive and thermal properties of (Lu, Sc) VO 3 and Sc 1-x Lu x VO 3(0.6 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) perovskites by means of a modified rigid ion model (MRIM). The variation of specific heat is determined following the temperature driven structural phase transitions. Also, the effect of lattice distortions on the elastic and thermal properties of the present pure and doped vanadates has been studied by an atomistic approach. The calculated bulk modulus (BT), reststrahlen frequency (ν0), cohesive energy (ϕ), Debye temperature (θD) and Gruneisen parameter (γ) reproduce well with the corresponding experimental data. The specific heat results can further be improved by including the magnetic ordering contributions to the specific heat.

The vibration spectrum of the nickel lattice has been calculated using the simple de Launay method with values for the effective force constants determined from published experimental data for the elastic constants. The density-of-states curve reproduces the same general features found by Birgeneau et al. (1964) using a fourth-neighbor model. The Debye temperature at 0 °K is found to be 474 °K in good agreement with the experimental value of 468 °K, and the calculated variation of the Debye temperature with temperature agrees quite well with that deduced from measurements of the specific heat.

Using a new Hamiltonian of interaction we have calculated the cohesive energy in three-dimensional structures. We have found the news dependences of this energy on the distance between the atoms. The obtained results are in a good agreement with experimental data in ionic, covalent and noble gases crystals. The coupling constant γ between the interacting field and the atoms is somewhat smaller than unity in ionic crystals and is some larger than unity in covalent and noble gases crystals. The formulae found by us are general and may be applied, also, to the other types of interactions, for example, gravitational interactions.

Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG, Y3Al5O12) and its varieties have applications in thermographic phosphors, lasing mediums, and thermal barriers. In this work, thermal properties of crystalline YAG where aluminum atoms are substituted with gallium atoms (Y3(Al1−xGax)5O12) are explored with molecular dynamics simulations. For YAG at 300K, the simulations gave values close to experimental values for constant-pressure specific heat, thermal expansion, and bulk thermal conductivity. For various values of x, the simulations predicted no change in thermal expansion, an increase in specific heat, and a decrease in thermal conductivity for x = 50%. Furthermore, the simulations predicted a decrease in thermal conductivity with decreasing system size.
