Theoretical Investigations of the Electronic, Elastic, Thermodynamics Properties and the Superconducting Transition Temperature of MNiBN (M = La, Ca)
文摘
The structural, electronic, elastic, and thermodynamic properties and the superconducting transition temperature of MNiBN (M = La, Ca) compounds are investigated by using the first principles within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated lattice constants are found in an agreement with the available experimental data, and the deviations are underestimated by less than 2 %. The calculated elastic constants indicate that both of the MNiBN (M = La, Ca) compounds are mechanically stable. The shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio σ, and the ratio B/G are also calculated. Finally, the Debye temperature (??) and the superconducting transition temperature are obtained.
