The paper presents an investigation on crystalline, elastic and electronic structure in addition to the thermodynamic properties for a CeRu 4 P 12 filled skutterudite device by using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital (FP-LMTO) method within the generalized gradient approximations (GGA) in the frame of density functional theory (DFT). For this purpose, the structural properties, such as the equilibrium lattice parameter, bulk modulus and pressure derivatives of the bulk modulus, were computed. By using the total energy variation as a function of strain we have determined the independent elastic constants and their pressure dependence. Additionally, the effect of pressure P and temperature T on the lattice parameters, bulk modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, Debye temperature and the heat capacity for CeRu 4 P 12 compound were investigated taking into consideration the quasi-harmonic Debye model.
In this paper, we report a comprehensive and systematic study for predicting the formability of double halide perovskites. Besides the tolerance factor, several complementary criteria for the formation and lattice distortion have been developed and compared with a throughout multivariate technique based on the principal component analysis (PCA) and the partial least square (PLS) methods. Some empirical equations expressing the relationships between the different ionic radii and the electronegativities and the lattice constants of double halide perovskites have been found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
