Abstract
We investigate the electronic, structural, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of X2TiBr6 (X = Li and Na) under pressure using the DFT calculations as implemented in the Quantum Espresso code. Generalized gradient approximation in the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE) form is used in this work. The calculated lattice parameters are 9.864 and 9.959 Å for Li2TiBr6 and Na2TiBr6, respectively. The structure bands of the Li2TiBr6 and Na2TiBr6 compounds indicate energy band gaps of 0.92 and 1.0 eV, respectively. Their value increases with increasing ionic radius from Li to Na. The elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus; Young’s modulus, Pugh’s ratio, and Poisson’s ratio have also been computed. The studied compounds are thermodynamically stable, and their stability decreased with the increase of atomic radius. Pugh’s and Poisson’s ratios that were calculated show that Li2TiBr6 and Na2TiBr6 are ductile compounds. The results also show that the heat capacity at high temperatures of the two compounds was found to be 224 J mol–1 K–1.
