Ab initio calculations based on the density functional theory within generalized-gradient (GGA) apraximation have been performed to carry out the structural, electronic, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of CaX (X=In, ...

We present an ab initio study of the structural, electronic and thermodynamic properties of TIX(X=P,As). The plane-wave pseudopotential approach to the density-functional theory within the LDA and GGA approximations ...

Structural and mechanical properties of several rare-earth diborides were systematically investigated by first principles calculations. Specifically, we studied XB2, where X = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Lu in the ...
