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 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 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 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 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 crystal structural, mechanical and thermal properties of UXLa1-XS compound with different concentrations (x= 0.00, 0.08 and 0.40) are investigated using modified inter-ionic potential theory (MIPT), which parametrically includes the effect of coulomb screening by the delocalized f-electrons. Our calculated values of phase transition pressure, bulk modulus and volume change are agree well with the theoretical and experimental data. We have also calculated the second order elastic constants and Debye temperature of these three concentrations.

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.

The vibrational spectrum and specific heat of tantalum are calculated on the basis of the lattice dynamical model of Sharma and Joshi. The calculated specific heat and the corresponding equivalent Debye temperature show fair agreement with the experimental data of Clusius and Losa.

Present work is influenced by the requirement of investigation of rare earth intermetallics due to the nonavailability of theoretical details and least information from experimental results. An attempt has been made to analyse the structural, electronic, magnetic and thermal properties of DyNi using full potential linear augmented plane wave method based on density functional theory. DyNi differs from other members of lanthanides nickelates as in ground state it crystallizes in FeB phase rather than orthorhombic CrB structure. The equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus, and pressure derivative of bulk modulus are presented in four polymorphs (FeB, CrB, CsCl and NaCl) of DyNi. At equilibrium the cell volume of DyNi for FeB structure has been calculated as 1098.16 Bohr3 which is comparable well with the experimental value 1074.75 Bohr3. The electronic band structure has been presented for FeB phase. The results for thermal properties, namely, thermal expansion coefficient, Gruneisen parameter, specific heat and Debye temperature at higher pressure and temperatures have been reported. The magnetic moments at equilibrium lattice constants have also been tabulated as the rare earth ions associated with large magnetic moments increase their utility in industrial field for the fabrication of electronic devices due to their magnetocaloric effect used in magnetic refrigeration.
