        AbstractPressure- and temperature-dependent mechanical, elastic, and thermodynamical properties of rock salt to CsCl structures in semiconducting SrX (X = O, S, Se, and Te) chalcogenides are presented based on model interatomic interaction potential with emphasis on charge transfer interactions, covalency effect, and zero point energy effects apart from long-range Coulomb, short-range overlap repulsion extended and van der Waals interactions. The developed potential with non-central forces validates the Cauchy discrepancy among elastic constants. The volume collapse (VP/V0) in terms of compressions in SrX at higher pressure indicates the mechanical stiffening of lattice. The expansion of SrX lattice is inferred from steep increase in VT/V0 and is attributed to thermal softening of SrX lattice. We also present the results for the temperature-dependent behaviors of hardness, heat capacity, and thermal expansion coefficient. From the Pugh’s ratio (ϕ = BT/GH), the Poisson’s ratio (ν) and the Cauchy’s pressure (C12–C44), we classify SrO as ductile but SrS, SrSe, and SrTe are brittle material. To our knowledge these are the first quantitative theoretical prediction of the pressure and temperature dependence of mechanical stiffening, thermally softening, and brittle nature of SrX (X = O, S, Se, and Te) and still await experimental confirmations. تفاصيل المقالة

        2 - Ab-initio Investigation of Mechanical Properties of MX2(M=Zr, Hf; X=S, Se, Te) Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Nano Tubes (TMDNTs)

        Miniaturization of bulk crystals in any direction down to nanometer dimensions leads to the emergence of quantum confinement phenomenon, which is technologically favorable. Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs) are important mechanical materials that have a layered structure. In addition, ach layer consists of three atomic layers. TMD Nano Tubes (TMDNTs) can be created by rolling such a layer. This study investigates structural, mechanical, and bonding properties of TMDNTs. In particular, two important quantities, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio, are calculated for 6 zigzag MX2 (M=Zr, Hf; X=S, Se, Te) nanotubes and the results are compared with those of other known nanotubes. The computed value of Young’s modulus is greater than that of blue Phosphorus and, in some cases, higher than those of WS2 nanotubes (which are experimentally synthesized). Given the increase in the bond length between M and X atoms, the ratio of Young’s modulus to Poisson’s increases as the atomic number X is reduced. However, there is no significant difference in the aforementioned quantity for ZrX2 and HfX2 nanotubes due to the close bond lengths of Zr-X and Hf-X. The band gap confirms this finding. A Mulliken charge analysis was conducted to investigate the amount of charge transfer between M and X atoms to observe the strength of bond lengths. تفاصيل المقالة
