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 modulus, bond distances, elastic constants, shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poison's ratio are reported. Also, we have predicted that LuB4 and LuB12 compounds are potential superhard materials. Furthermore, the phonon dispersion curves and corresponding phonon density of states (DOS) are computed for considered phases. Our structural and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and other theoretical data. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Structural, electronic and mechanical properties of W1-xTcxB2 alloys Sürücü, Gökhan; Colakoglu, K.; Deligoz, E.; ÇİFTCİ, YASEMİN (2013-10-01) A detailed theoretical study of the structural, elastic and electronic properties of W1-xTcxB2 (x=0.1 similar to 0.9) alloys is carried out by using the plane-wave pseudopotential approach to the density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The most stable structure is found as W0.9Tc0.1B2 due to the lowest formation energy value and Band filling theory. Furthermore, the band structural and density of states (DOS) are computed for each composition x (0.1 similar to 0.9). Th...
Anisotropic elastic and vibrational properties of Ru2B3 and Os2B3: a first-principles investigation Ozisik, Haci; Deligoz, Engin; Sürücü, Gökhan; Ozisik, Havva Bogaz (2016-07-01) 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 character...
Structural properties of Alumnum nitride compound Mohammad, R.; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2014-10-01) Structural properties of Alumnum nitride in wurtzite, zinc-blende and rock-salt phases have been investigated by Full Potential-Linearized Augmented Plane Waves method based on Density Functional Theory within Local Density Approximation and seven Generalized Gradient schemes. It is found that, Alumnum nitride in wurtzite phase is the stable ground state structure and makes a transition to rock-salt phase at a low transition pressure (11.54 GPa). According to present total energy calculations, zinc-blende p...
Structural phase transition, electronic, elastic, and vibrational properties of LiAl intermetallic compound: insights from first-principles calculations Mogulkoc, Y.; ÇİFTCİ, YASEMİN; Sürücü, Gökhan (2017-08-01) 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 (...
Electronic, mechanical and lattice dynamical properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co) compounds CANDAN, ABDULLAH; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN; Gencer, Ayşenur (IOP Publishing, 2019-12-01) In this study, the physical such as structural, electronic, anisotropic elastic and lattice dynamic properties of YXB4 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe and Co) compounds have been investigated. The electronic properties including band structure and corresponding partial density of states for YXB4 have been calculated. YFeB4 and YCoB4 compounds are found to have metallic behavior while YCrB4 and YMnB4 have semiconductor behavior. Also, the compounds are found to be as non-magnetic materials. The calculated elastic constants ...
