Abstract:We investigate the thermodynamic properties of superhard w-BC2N by using ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within local density approximation (LDA). Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of w-BC2N. The variation of the thermal expansion, the heat capacity and the Gruneisen parameter γ with pressure P and temperature T, and many other thermodynamic parameters of w-BC2N are obtained systematically.
