Pressure-induced semiconductor–metal phase transition in Mg2Si

In situ electrical resistivity measurement of powdered Mg₂Si has been performed in a diamond anvil cell up to 25.4 GPa. At about 22.2 GPa, Mg₂Si underwent a pressure-induced semiconductor–metal phase transition that took place in the Ni₂In-type structure rather than the anti-fluorite structure predicted theoretically. The other phases (anti-fluorite and anti-cotunnite) belong to the semiconductor phase.     

High-pressure phase transitions of Mg2Ge and Mg2Sn: First-principles calculations

Phase transitions of the anti-fluorite compounds Mg₂Ge and Mg₂Sn under high pressure were investigated using the first-principles plane-wave method within the pseudopotential and generalized gradient approximations. The calculated results show that Mg₂Ge and Mg₂Sn undergo two first-order phase transitions at high pressure and the sequence of the pressure-induced phase transitions is from the anti-fluorite to the anti-cotunnite, and then to the Ni₂In-type structure. The high pressure behaviors of Mg₂Ge and Mg₂Sn are similar to Mg₂Si and the isostructural alkali-metal oxide Li₂O. Moreover, the electronic and optical properties of both the anti-fluorite and the high-pressure phases are presented.     

Phase transition, structural and thermodynamic properties of Mg2Si polymorphs

The plane-wave pseudo-potential method within the framework of first principles is used to investigate the structural and elastic properties of Mg 2 Si in its intermediate pressure(Pnma) and high pressure phases(P 6 3 /mmc).The lattice constants,the band structures.The bulk moduli of the Mg 2 Si polymorphs are presented and discussed.The phase transition from anti-cotunnite to Ni 2 In-type Mg 2 Si is successfully reproduced using a vibrational Debye-like model.The phase boundary can be described as P = 24.02994 + 3.93 × 10 3 T 4.66816 × 10 5 T 2 2.2501 × 10 9 T 3 + 2.33786 × 10 11 T 4.To complete the fundamental characteristics of these polymorphs we have analysed thermodynamic properties,such as thermal expansion and heat capacity,in a pressure range of 0-40 GPa and a temperature range of 0-1300 K.The obtained results tend to support the available experimental data and other theoretical results.Therefore,the present results indicate that the combination of first principles and a vibrational Debye-like model is an efficient scheme to simulate the high temperature behaviours of Mg 2 Si.     

Periodic DFT calculation of the pressure-induced phase transition and thermodynamical properties of magnesium silicide polymorphs

The plane-wave pseudo-potential method within the framework of first-principles is used to investigate the structural and elastic properties of Mg₂Si in its low pressure phase (Fm-3m) and intermediate pressure phase (Pnma). The high-pressure lattice constants, the elastic constants, the elastic moduli and the anisotropy factors of the anti-cotunnite Mg₂Si are presented and discussed. The results show that our system is mechanically stable. The reversible phase transition from anti-fluorite to anti-cotunnite structure is successfully reproduced through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The phase boundary can be described as P=4.06826−6.95×10⁻³T+5.08838×10⁻⁵T²−4.24073×10⁻⁸T³. To complete the fundamental characteristics of these compounds we have analysed the thermodynamic properties such as thermal expansion, bulk modulus, isochoric heat capacity and Debye temperature in a pressure range 0-21 GPa and a temperature range 0-1200 K. The obtained results tend to support the experimental data when available. Therefore, the present results indicate that the combination of first-principles and quasi-harmonic approximations is an efficient scheme to simulate the high-temperature behaviours of semiconductors like Mg₂Si.

Theoretical study on the phase stability,elasticity, hardness and electronic structures of Ni–P compounds

A systematic investigation concerned with phase stability, elastic properties, hardness and relevant electronic structure of Ni–P compounds (Ni₃P, Ni₁₂P₅, Ni₂P, Ni₅P₄, NiP, NiP₂ and NiP₃) was carried out using first principles calculations. The calculated results show that the Ni–P compounds have strong hardness, ranging from 7.80–14.54 GPa. Also, the hardness values gradually increase with the P content. Electronic structure analysis shows that the strong Ni–P and part of P–P hybrid orbitals play important roles in the hardness of these compounds. The calculated elastic constants indicated that the Ni₃P, Ni₁₂P₅ and NiP₂ phases are significantly anisotropic, the NiP and Ni₂P exhibit some anisotropy, while the Ni₅P₄ and NiP₃ show a relatively isotropic character. At last, the properties of these Ni–P compounds including lattice constants, thermodynamic stability, elastic constants C_ij, bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young's modulus E and Poisson's ratio ν have been calculated.     

Structural, electronic, elastic and thermal properties of Mg2Si

First-principles calculations of the lattice parameter, electron density maps, density of states and elastic constants of Mg₂Si are reported. The lattice parameter is found to differ by less than 0.8% from the experimental data. Calculations of density of states and electron density maps are also performed to describe the orbital mixing and the nature of chemical bonding. Our results indicate that the bonding interactions in the Mg₂Si crystal are more covalent than ionic. The quasi-harmonic Debye model, by means of total energy versus volume calculations obtained with the plane-wave pseudopotential method, is applied to study the elastic, thermal and vibrational effects. The variations of bulk modulus, Grüneisen parameter, Debye temperature, heat capacity C_v, C_p and entropy with pressure P up to 7 GPa in the temperature interval 0-1300 K have been systemically investigated. Significant differences in properties are observed at high pressure and high temperature. When T<1300 K, the calculated entropy and heat capacity agree reasonably with available experimental data. Therefore, the present results indicate that the combination of first-principles and quasi-harmonic Debye model is an efficient approach to simulate the behavior of Mg₂Si.     

First-Principles Study of Structural Stabilities, Electronic and Optical Properties of SrF2 under High Pressure

An investigation of structural stabilities, electronic and optical properties of SrF2 under high pressure is conducted using a first-principles calculation based on density functional theory （DFT） with the plane wave basis set as implemented in the CASTEP code. Our results predict that the second high-pressure phase of SrF2 is of a Ni2In- type structure, and demonstrate that the sequence of the pressure-induced phase transition of SrF2 is the fluorite structure （Fm3m） to the PbC12-type structure （Pnma）, and to the Ni2In-type phase （P63/mmc）. The first and second phase transition pressures are 5. 77 and 45.58 GPa, respectively. The energy gap increases initially with pressure in the Fm3m, and begins to decrease in the Pnma phases at 30 GPa. The band gap overlap metallization does not occur up to 210 GPa. The pressure effect on the optical properties is discussed.     

First-principles investigations on structural,elastic, electronic properties and Debye temperature of orthorhombic Ni3Ta under pressure

The structural, elastic, electronic properties and Debye temperature of Ni₃Ta under different pressures are investigated using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. Our calculated equilibrium lattice parameters at 0 GPa well agree with the experimental and previous theoretical results. The calculated negative formation enthalpies and elastic constants both indicate that Ni₃Ta is stable under different pressures. The bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio ν are calculated by the Voigt–Reuss–Hill method. The bigger ratio of B/G indicates Ni₃Ta is ductile and the pressure can improve the ductility of Ni₃Ta. In addition, the results of density of states and the charge density difference show that the stability of Ni₃Ta is improved by the increasing pressure. The Debye temperature Θ _D calculated from elastic modulus increases along with the pressure.     

Theoretical study of the structural, elastic, electronic and thermal properties of the MAX phase Nb2SiC

Structural, elastic, electronic and thermal properties of the MAX phase Nb₂SiC are studied by means of a pseudo-potential plane-wave method based on the density functional theory. The optimized zero pressure geometrical parameters are in good agreement with the available theoretical data. The effect of high pressure, up to 40 GPa, on the lattice constants shows that the contractions along the c-axis were higher than those along the a-axis. The elastic constants C_ij and elastic wave velocities are calculated for monocrystal Nb₂SiC. Numerical estimations of the bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, average sound velocity and Debye temperature for ideal polycrystalline Nb₂SiC aggregates are performed in the framework of the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximation. The band structure shows that Nb₂SiC is an electrical conductor. The analysis of the atomic site projected densities and the charge density distribution shows that the bonding is of covalent-ionic nature with the presence of metallic character. The density of states at Fermi level is dictated by the niobium d states; Si element has a little effect. Thermal effects on some macroscopic properties of Nb₂SiC are predicted using the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account. The variations of the primitive cell volume, volume expansion coefficient, bulk modulus, heat capacity and Debye temperature with pressure and temperature in the ranges of 0-40 GPa and 0-2000 K are obtained successfully.
