چکیده

In this work, density functional theory within the framework of generalized gradient approximation has been used to investigate the structural, elastic, mechanical, and phonon properties of lutetium monopnictides in rock-salt crystal structure. The spin orbit coupling and Hubbard-U corrections are included to correctly predict the essential properties of these compounds. The elastic constants, Young's modulus E, Poisson's ratio v, shear modulus G, anisotropy factor A and Pugh's ratio are computed. We found that all lutetium monopnictides are anisotropic and show brittle character. From the wave velocities along [100], [110] and [111] directions, melting temperature of lutetium monopnictides are predicted. Dynamical stability of these monopnictides has been studied by density functional perturbation theory.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF IONS, IONIC AND SEMICONDUCTING COMPOUNDSElectronic structure calculations for actinide compounds

— In this paper we describe the use of muffin tin orbital techniques, employed in a variety of approximations, to help understand the band structure and bonding in actinide metals and compounds. Simple methods of assessing bandwidfhs and placings, readily accessible to experimentalists, are reviewed for both metals and compounds and their limitations discussed. Examples from the uranium monopni...

Fully relativistic four-component self-consistent field and correlated calculations at the Mo”ller– Plesset second-order perturbation theory level ~MP2! have been performed for the monofluorides and monoand trihydrides of lanthanum, lutetium, actinium, and lawrencium. The calculated spectroscopic constants are in good agreement with available experimental data. The calculated bond lengths have ...

Electronic, magnetic and transport properties of rare-earth monopnictides.

The electronic structures and magnetic properties of many rare-earth monopnictides are reviewed in this article. Possible candidate materials for spintronics devices from the rare-earth monopnictide family, i.e. high polarization (nominally half-metallic) ferromagnets and antiferromagnets, are identified. We attempt to provide a unified picture of the electronic properties of these strongly cor...
