The lattice parameters, five independent elastic constants, equations of state (EOS), Debye temperature, and bulk modulus of MgB2 are obtained. Meanwhile, the dependence of the bulk modulus B, the lattice parameters a and c, and the unit cell volume V on the applied pressure are presented. It is demonstrated that the method introduced here can well reproduce the experimental results with a reasonable accuracy.展开更多

The transition pressure varies non-linearly with temperature, and the pressure of the mechanical instability increases linearly with increasing temperature. It is shown that the B1 structure SrS is a most elastically anisotropic minerat any pressure. The Debye temperature, the heat capacity, thermal expansion and Gruneisen parameter over a wide range of pressures and temperatures are also obtained.展开更多

The calculated pressure dependence of the normalized volume is in excellent agreement with the experimental results. At the same time the elastic constants and acoustic anisotropy as a function of applied pressure are presented. Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we also investigate the thermodynamic properties of MgB2.展开更多
