The structural, mechanical and lattice dynamical properties of Ru2B3 and Os2B3 have been investigated by using a first-principles method based on the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. The single crystal elastic constants are numerically estimated using strain-stress approach. The polycrystalline aggregate elastic parameters are calculated from the single elastic constants via the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximations. Subsequently, the ductility and brittleness are characterized with the estimation from Pugh's rule (B/G) and Cauchy pressure. Additionally, the Debye temperature is calculated from the average elastic wave velocity obtained from bulk and shear moduli. The calculated parameters are consistent with the previous experimental and theoretical data. These borides are both mechanically and dynamically stable in the considered structure.

Using the generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) based on density functional theory, we have reported the structural, mechanical, electronic, and lattice dynamical properties of the intermetallic compounds Pd3X (X = Ti, Zr, Hf) with D0(24) and the L1(2) structures. The elastic constants were predicted using the stress-finite strain technique. We performed numerical estimations of the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio anisotropy factor, G/B ratio, and hardness. Our studies have ...

We have studied structural, elastic, and lattice dynamical properties of the LuB2, LuB4, and LuB12 compounds by using the plane-wave pseudopotential approach to the density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. We have considered three different crystal structures of LuBx: LuB2 (P6/mmm), LuB4 (P4/mbm), and LuB12 (Fm-3m). The most stable structure is found to be tetragonal (P4/mbm) structure. The comparative results on the basic physical parameters such as lattice constants, bulk m...

The anisotropic mechanical properties of Tl4Ag18Te11 compound was investigated elaborately for the first time by using Density Functional Theory calculations with the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package in this work. Tl4Ag18Te11 compound was optimized in the I4mm space group and the formation energy was determined as a negative value that is the indication of the experimental synthesizability of this compound. The optimized crystal structure was employed for the calculations of the elastic constants and the...

Using the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), the structural, elastic, electronic, and vibrational properties of LiAl have been explored within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using the Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP). The results demonstrate that LiAl compound is stable in the NaTl-type structure (B32) at ambient pressure, which is in good agreement with the experimental results and there is a structural phase transition from NaTl-type structure (...
