The
mechanical, electronic and vibrational properties of Ir-based refractory
superalloys (Ir3Hf and Ir3Nb) in the L12
structure were studied in the framework of ab initio calculations. The
obtained equilibrium lattice constants and bulk modulus were reported and
compared with the existing data. The elastic constants of alloys were determined
using energy strain method. The results were utilised to evaluate mechanical
stability of alloys in the crystal structure of L12. Both alloys were found to be mechanically
stable based on the Pugh’s criteria. Subsequently, electronic band structures
and partial and total densities of states have been obtained for Ir3Hf
and Ir3Nb. The band structures of alloys demonstrated metallic behaviour
whilst the conductivity was mostly governed by Ir 5d states. Moreover, phonon
distribution curves of both alloys were obtained by employing the linear
response technique within the density functional theory. Both alloys are found
to be dynamically stable based on phonon modes evaluation.
