The stuctural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of B2-NiAl and L12-Ni3Al intermetallic compounds are systemically investigated. Using a first principle pseudopotential plane-wave method, several basic mechanical parameters of B2-NiAl and L12-Ni3Al crystals, such as the equilibrium volume, the bulk modulus, the elastic constants, the Zener anisotropy factor, the Poisson’s ratio, the Young’s modulus and isotropic shear modulus are firstly calculated. And then the temperature dependence of the equilibrium volume, the bulk modulus, the thermal expansion coefficient, the heat capacity, the Debye temperature and the Grüneisen parameter are further evaluated in the framework of a quasi-harmonic Debye model. Finally, a special attention is paied on the mutual influence of pressure and temperature on mechenical and thermodynanic properties of B2-NiAl and L12-Ni3Al intermetallic compounds in the range of 0-20 GPa and 0-1000 K.

AbstractFirst principle calculations were performed to investigate the structural, mechanical, electronic properties, and thermodynamic properties of three binary Mg–B compounds under pressure, by using the first principle method. The results implied that the structural parameters and the mechanical properties of the Mg–B compounds without pressure are well matched with the obtainable theoretically simulated values and experimental data. The obtained pressure–volume and energy–volume revealed that the three Mg–B compounds were mechanically stable, and the volume variation decreases with an increase in the boron content. The shear and volume deformation resistance indicated that the elastic constant Cij and bulk modulus B increased when the pressure increased up to 40 GPa, and that MgB7 had the strongest capacity to resist shear and volume deformation at zero pressure, which indicated the highest hardness. Meanwhile, MgB4 exhibited a ductility transformation behaviour at 30 GPa, and MgB2 and MgB7 displayed a brittle nature under all the considered pressure conditions. The anisotropy of the three Mg–B compounds under pressure were arranged as follows: MgB4 > MgB2 > MgB7. Moreover, the total density of states varied slightly and decreased with an increase in the pressure. The Debye temperature ΘD of the Mg–B compounds gradually increased with an increase in the pressure and the boron content. The temperature and pressure dependence of the heat capacity and the thermal expansion coefficient α were both obtained on the basis of Debye model under increased pressure from 0 to 40 GPa and increased temperatures. This paper brings a convenient understanding of the magnesium–boron alloys.

Abstract Gold-rich rare earth intermetallic compounds (viz. Ce2Au2Cd and CeAu4Cd2) show unusual magnetic and physical properties, and they have extensive applications in electronic and mechanical industries due to their good electronic and thermal behavior with high mechanical strength. In the present research article, to take full advantage of technological importance of these materials, we have investigated the structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of Ce2Au2Cd and CeAu4Cd2 ternary intermetallic compounds using density functional theory (DFT). The electronic band structure and density of state calculations show that Ce-f orbital electrons provide metallic character to both the compounds with strong hybridization of Au-p and Cd-p orbitals at the Fermi level. The effect of temperature has been studied on the various thermodynamic parameters using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. Thermodynamic properties show that CeAu4Cd2 compound has larger mechanical resistance (or high mechanical strength or hardness) and smaller randomness compared to Ce2Au2Cd with respect to temperature.

The bulk modulus [Formula: see text], shear modulus [Formula: see text] and Young’s modulus [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] increase with the increasing external pressure. It is noted that [Formula: see text] of investigated compound has the largest [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The results of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have the same change trend, but [Formula: see text] presents an irregular change for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The density of states for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are investigated at 0, 30 and 50 GPa. In addition, the thermodynamic properties as a function of temperature at different pressure are also studied.

AbstractThe paper presents an investigation on crystalline, elastic and electronic structure in addition to the thermodynamic properties for a CeRu4P12 filled skutterudite device by using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method within the generalized gradient approximations (GGA) in the frame of density functional theory (DFT). For this purpose, the structural properties, such as the equilibrium lattice parameter, bulk modulus and pressure derivatives of the bulk modulus, were computed. By using the total energy variation as a function of strain we have determined the independent elastic constants and their pressure dependence. Additionally, the effect of pressure P and temperature T on the lattice parameters, bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, Debye temperature and the heat capacity for CeRu4P12 compound were investigated taking into consideration the quasi-harmonic Debye model.

The structure, elastic constants and electron state density of ZrMo2 in [Formula: see text]15 phase are investigated by pseudopotential plane-wave method based on density functional theory (DFT). The thermodynamic properties are studied with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The calculated results are in good agreement with the previous experimental results and theoretical simulations. The calculated phonon spectra and elastic constants show that [Formula: see text]15 phase of ZrMo2 is mechanically stable. Through the analysis of [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] value and Poisson’s ratio, [Formula: see text]15 phase of ZrMo2 shows ductility at 0–150 GPa, and it increases with the increment of pressure. We further explore the mechanism of the metallic properties by analyzing the electronic density of states. In addition, Debye temperature, thermal expansion coefficient and heat capacity as a function of pressure and temperature is discussed, respectively.

The phase transition of zinc sulfide (ZnS) from Zinc-blende (ZB) to a rocksalt (RS) structure and the elastic, thermodynamic properties of the two structures under high temperature and pressure are investigated by first-principles study based on the pseudo-potential plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) combined with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The lattice constant [Formula: see text], bulk modulus [Formula: see text] and the pressure derivative of bulk modulus [Formula: see text]’ of the two structures are calculated. The results are in good agreement with experimental results and the other theoretical data. From the energy–volume curve, enthalpy equal principle and mechanical stability criterion, the transition pressures from the ZB to the RS structure are 16.83, 16.96 and 16.61 GPa, respectively. The three results and the experimental values 14.7–18.1, 16 GPa are very close to each other. Then the elastic properties are also calculated under the pressure ranging from 0 to 30 GPa. Finally, through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the thermodynamic properties dependence of temperature and pressure in the ranges between 0–1600 K and 0–30 GPa are obtained successfully.
