Abstract

The structural, electronic, mechanical and
dynamic properties of Rh₃Sc compound in the L1₂ phase
have been investigated. The calculated lattice constants, bulk modulus and
elastic constants for this compound are in good agreement with the available
theoretical and experimental data. The elastic constants (C₁₁,
C₁₂ and C₄₄) in L1₂ phase for
Rh₃Sc compound are calculated using the energy-strain method. These
calculated elastic constants satisfy the mechanical stability criterion of Rh₃Sc
is predicted. The electronic structure and phonon frequency curves of Rh₃Sc
are obtained and analyzed. The high-frequency region of Rh₃Sc is
mainly due to the vibrations of Sc atoms. The specific heat capacity at
constant volume and different temperature is calculated, and this aspect is
discussed using quasi-harmonic approximation.

Rh3Sc bileşiğinin dinamik, mekanik ve termal özelliklerinin ab-initio çalışması

Abstract

Rh3Sc bileşiğinin L1₂ fazındaki yapısal,
elektronik, mekanik ve dinamik özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Bu bileşik için
hesaplanan örgü sabitleri, Bulk modülü ve elastik sabitler mevcut teorik ve
deneysel verilerle iyi bir şekilde uyumludur. L1₂ fazda incelenen Rh₃Sc
bileşiğinin elastik sabitleri (C₁₁, C₁₂ ve C₄₄)
enerji-strain metodu kullanılarak hesaplandı. Rh3Sc’nin hesaplanan elastik
sabitleri mekanik kararlılık şartlarını karşılamaktadır. Rh₃Sc'nin
elektronik yapısı ve fonon özellikleri hesaplanmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Rh₃Sc'nin
yüksek frekans bölgesi, esas olarak Sc atomlarının titreşimlerinden
kaynaklanmaktadır. Farklı sıcaklık ve sabit hacimde ısı sığası quasi-harmonik
yaklaşım kullanılarak hesaplandı ve bu çerçevede tartışıldı.
