Abstract
In this work, the effect of pressure on structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb) predicted by first-principles calculation. Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb) has elastic anisotropy at 0 ~ 40GPa. Thermodynamic properties at different pressure and temperature are investigated by full quasi-harmonic approximation (full QHA). The Debye temperature of Zr3XC2 is more sensitive to pressure change than temperature change. The optical calculation shows the plasma frequency of Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb) is 35.13eV and 35.38eV.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Materials Science publishes reviews, full-length papers, and short Communications recording original research results on, or techniques for studying the relationship between structure, properties, and uses of materials. The subjects are seen from international and interdisciplinary perspectives covering areas including metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, electrical materials, composite materials, fibers, nanostructured materials, nanocomposites, and biological and biomedical materials. The Journal of Materials Science is now firmly established as the leading source of primary communication for scientists investigating the structure and properties of all engineering materials.
