Özet
The structural and lattice dynamical properties of the half-Heusler NiYSn (Y=Zr, Hf) compounds, we have been investigated using the ab-initio density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximations. In particularly, some basic physical parameters such as lattice constant, bulk modulus and its first derivatives, elastic constants, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and Poison’s ratio are calculated in the ground state configuration. The calculated elastic constants and the related sound velocities and Debye temperatures are also presented. The computed phonon dispersion curves based on the linear response method are predicted. Some thermo dynamical properties such as free energy, entropy, and heat capacity at constant volume are also estimated and interpreted for the first time.
