FIRST-PRINCIPLES CALCULATIONS OF STRUCTURE, STABILITY AND THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF fcc-6LiT UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES
We perform first-principles calculations for fcc-6 LiT in order to study its structure, stability and thermodynamic properties under high temperatures and pressures. We find that melting point of 6 LiT (0 GPa) is about 680 K, and rise with the pressures. Reverse equivalent pressure P r and critical pressure P c of different temperatures are predicted from [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], and they are found to increase with temperature. 6 LiT should be stable under the condition of P < 80 GPa and T < 680 K . We also find that pressure and temperature will cause different effect of shear on the {100} and {110} planes. Heat capacity of different pressures increase with temperature and closes to the Dulong–Petit limit at higher temperatures. Debye temperature decreases with temperature, and increases with pressure.
