Özet

The structural, mechanical, and phonon properties of NbRuB, TaRuB, and NbOsB compounds with orthorhombic space groups Pmma (No. 51) and Pbam (No. 55) are investigated by using first-principles calculations. The elastic constants and moduli, Debye temperature, Poisson's ration, Pugh's ratio, elastic anisotropy factors, and minimum thermal conductivities have been predicted to understand the mechanical behavior of these ternary compounds. The mechanical anisotropy is discussed via several anisotropy indices and two-dimensional (2D) surface constructions. We observe that all compounds ought to be classified as ductile materials and exhibit elastically anisotropy. Their mechanical and dynamical stability is confirmed via the calculated elastic constants and phonon dispersion curves, respectively. This work should provide a useful guide for designing ternary boride materials that have excellent thermoelectric performance.
