Theoretical Calculations for Structural, Elastic and Thermodynamic Properties of γTiAl Under High Pressure

We investigate the structural and elastic properties of γ TiAl under high pressures using the norm-conservingpseudopotentials within the local density approximation(LDA)in the frame of density functional theory.The calculatedpressure dependence of the elastic constants is in excellent agreement with the experimental results.The elastic constantsand anisotropy as a function of applied pressure are presented.Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model,we alsoinvestigate the thermodynamic properties of γ TiAl.

Calculated Structure,Elastic and Electronic Properties of Mg_2Pb at High Pressure

The effects of high pressure on structure, elastic and electronic properties of the intermetallic MgzPb were calculated by the first-principles plane wave pseudo-potential method in the scheme of density functional theory （DFT） within the generalized gradient approximation. The elastic constants and Debye temperature obtained at 0 GPa are in good agreement with the available experiment data and other theoretical results. The electronic properties calculated suggest that the electronic density of states （DOS） at the Fermi level decreases under high pressure.

Theoretical study of the elastic properties of titanium nitride

The equilibrium lattice parameter, relative volume V/V0, elastic constants Cij, and bulk modulus of titanium nitride are successfully obtained using the ab initio planewave pseudopotential （PW-PP） method within the framework of density functional theory. The quasi-harmonic Debye model, using a set of total energy vs molar volume obtained with the PW-PP method, is applied to the study of the elastic properties and vibrational effects. We analyze the relationship between the bulk modulus and temperature up to 2000 K and obtain the relationship between bulk modulus B and pressure at different temperatures. It is found that the bulk modulus B increases monotonously with increasing pressure and decreases with increasing temperature. Moreover, the Debye temperature is determined from the non-equilibrium Gibbs functions.

Mechanical and thermodynamic properties of the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases of SiC_2N_4 under high pressure from first principles

First principles calculations are preformed to systematically investigate the electronic structures, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases of Si C2N4 under pressure. The calculated structural parameters and elastic moduli are in good agreement with the available theoretical values at zero pressure. The elastic constants of the two phases under pressure are calculated by stress–strain method. It is found that both phases satisfy the mechanical stability criteria within 60 GPa. With the increase of pressure, the degree of the anisotropy decreases rapidly in the monoclinic phase, whereas it remains almost constant in the orthorhombic phase. Furthermore, using the hybrid density-functional theory, the monoclinic and orthorhombic phases are found to be wide band-gap semiconductors with band gaps of about 2.85 e V and 3.21 e V, respectively. The elastic moduli, ductile or brittle behaviors, compressional and shear wave velocities as well as Debye temperatures as a function of pressure in both phases are also investigated in detail.

点缺陷对B_2-NiAl力学与热学性能影响的第一性原理计算

基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波赝势法,计算了反位缺陷与空位对B2-NiAl力学与热学性能的影响.采用杨氏模量、剪切模量、弹性常数、Cahchy压力、泊松比、Debye温度、比热、热膨胀系数等参数评判反位缺陷与空位对B2-NiAl合金的延性、硬度及热学性能的影响.结果表明:NiAl,VNi均能提高B2-NiAl晶体的硬度而降低其本征延性,AlNi与VAl对晶体力学性能的影响可以忽略不计.点缺陷对晶体比热的影响均集中在Debye温度以下,在此温度范围内,4种点缺陷均能降低晶体的比热,降幅从高到低依次为VNi>NiAl>AlNi>VAl.而当温度高于1000K时,4种点缺陷对晶体比热的影响基本消失而使比热趋于同一数值25J/mol·K.当温度高于600K时,对晶体相对热膨胀系数影响较明显的点缺陷是VAl与NiAl,前者使晶体的相对热膨胀系数提高,而后者使晶体的相对热膨胀系数降低.

Structural,mechanical,thermodynamic and electronic properties of Pt_(3)M(M=Al,Co,Hf,Sc,Y,Zr)compounds under high pressure

In this work,the impacts of pressure on the structural,mechanical,thermodynamic and electronic properties of typical Pt_(3)M(M=Al,Co,Hf,Sc,Y,Zr)compounds were investigated systematically by the firstprinciples density function theory calculations.The calculated lattice parameters,volume and elastic constants of Pt_(3)M compounds are in good agreement with available experimental and calculation values.With the increase in pressure,the lattice parameters and volume of Pt_(3)M compounds decrease,while the elastic constants,bulk modulus,shear modulus and Young’s modulus increase.The variations in Pugh’s ratio and Poisson’s ratio indicate that these Pt_(3)M compounds are mechanically stable and ductile.The mechanical anisotropy of these Pt_(3)M compounds is enhanced by rising pressure.Thermodynamic analysis indicates that sound velocity and Debye temperature increase with the increase in stress.The charge distribution does not change obviously,implying that no phase transition occurs in the range of 0-100 GPa.
