Stability of FeVO4-II under Pressure: A First-Principles Study

First Principles Study of Tetracene under Pressure

First-principles study of CaFe2As2 under pressure

We perform first-principles calculations on CaFe2As2 under hydrostatic pressure. Our total-energy calculations show that though the striped antiferromagnetic (AFM) orthorhombic (OR) phase is favored at P = 0, a nonmagnetic collapsed tetragonal (cT) phase with diminished c parameter is favored for P > 0.36 GPa, in agreement with experiments. Rather than a mechanical instability, this is an entha...

First Principles Study on Structure Stability and Mechanical Properties of YNi2B2C and LuNi2B2C under Pressure

The pressure effects on the lattice parameters and elastic constants of the tetragonal RNi2B2C (R=Y, Lu) are investigated by means of the first principles. The predicted lattice constants and elastic constants of YNi2B2C and LuNi2B2C at 0 GPa agree well with the available data. By the elastic stability criteria under isotropic pressure, it is predicted that YNi2B2C and LuNi2B2C with tetragonal ...

A first-principles study of the vibrational properties of crystalline tetracene under pressure.

We present a comprehensive study of the hydrostatic pressure dependence of the vibrational properties of tetracene using periodic density-functional theory (DFT) within the local density approximation (LDA). Despite the lack of van der Waals dispersion forces in LDA we find good agreement with experiment and are able to assess the suitability of this approach for simulating conjugated organic m...
