The lattice parameters, the bulk modulus, the heat capacity, the Gruneieen parameter, and the Debye temperature are obtained. The results are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. Moreover, the relationship between V/V0 and pressure, the elastic constants under high pressure are successfully obtained. Especially, the elastic constants of diamond under high pressure are firstly obtained theoretically. At the same time, the variations of the thermal expansion α with pressure P and temperature Tare obtained systematically in the ranges of 0-870 GPa and 0-1600 K.展开更多

The calculated results show that pressure affects the elastic constants of C_(11) more than that of C_(12) and C_(44). Specifically, higher pressure leads to greater bulk modulus(B), shear modulus(G), and elastic modulus(E). We predict B/G and anisotropy factor A based on the calculated elastic constants. The Debye temperature also increases with increasing pressure. Based on the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we examined the thermodynamic properties. These properties include the normalized volume(V/V_0), bulk modulus(B), heat capacity(C_v), thermal expansion coefficient(α), and Debye temperature(■). Finally, the electronic structures associated with the density of states(DOS) and Mulliken population are analyzed.展开更多

For description of the structure, well known Percus-Yevick (PY) hard sphere model is used as a reference system. By applying a variation method the best hard core diameters have been found which correspond to minimum free energy. With this procedure the thermodynamic properties such as entropy and heat of mixing have been computed. The influence of local field correction function viz; Hartree (H), Taylor (T), lehimaru-Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F), and Sarkar et al. (S) is also investigated. The computed results of the excess entropy compares favourably in the case of liquid alloys while the agreement with experiment is poor in the case of heats of mixing. This may be due to the sensitivity of the heats of mixing with the potential parameters and the dielectric function.展开更多

The results show that the total density of states (DOS) of TiB2 is mainly provided by the orbit hybridization of Ti-3d and B-2p states, and the total DOS of TiB is mainly provided by the hybrids bond of Ti-3d and B-2p below the Fermi level and Ti—Ti bond up to the Fermi level. The Ti—B hybrid bond in TiB2 is stronger than that in TiB. Finally, the enthalpy of formation at 0 K, heat capacity and Gibbs free energy of formation at various temperatures were determined. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data.展开更多

The obtained lattice parameters, bulk modulus and elastic constants are in very good agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. The thermodynamic properties of the cubic TiC are predicted by using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The normalized volume V/V 0 , bulk modulus B, thermal expansion , heat capacity C V , Grüneisen parameter and Debye temperature dependence on the pressure and temperature are obtained successfully. At low temperature and low pressure, thermal expansion coefficient increases rapidly with temperature. At high temperature and high pressure, the increasing trend becomes tender. At low temperatures, C V is proportional to T 3 , and C V tends to the Dulong-Petit limit at higher temperatures.展开更多
