چکیده
Abstract— In the present paper, we have investigated the high-pressure structural phase transition of cerium monopnictide. The three-body potential model has been used to study the structural properties of this compound. Phase transition pressures are associated with a sudden collapse in volume. The phase transition pressures and associated volume collapses obtained from present potential model show a generally good agreement with available experimental data than others.

Structural transition and volume compression of CeBi up to 20 GPa
2014 The compression curve of CeBi up to 20 GPa was measured at room temperature by x-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell. Below 13 GPa, CeBi maintains its cubic structure of the NaCl-type with a bulk modulus B0 = 49.6 GPa, smaller than that reported for LaBi (B0 = 55 GPa). This anomalous lowering is attributed to a continuous increase of the cerium valence. At P = 13 GPa, CeBi undergoes a ...
متن کاملHIGH PRESSURE BEHAVIOR OF KCl: STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES
The high pressure behavior of the structural and electronic properties of KC1 is studied with use of the density functional pseudopotential method within local-density approximation. Atzero pressure, the rocksalt phase is found to be lower in energy than CsCl structure. However, we predict a phase transition into CsCI structure at a pressure of about 1.5 GPa. The calculated ground state pro...

Given the many applications of half-metals in the spintronics devices, we investigated the half-metallic properties of the KP compound in rock-salt (RS) and cesium chloride (CsCl) structural phases by using density functional theory. The results indicated that the KP compound as the half-metal in the RS structure, in contrast to the CsCl structure, due to the small lattice constant and failure ...

Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy is an accurate method for determination of electric charge distribution around quadrupolar nuclei. Using ab initio computational methods, it is possible to calculate the Nuclear Quadrupole Coupling Constants (NQCCs) with high accuracy and obtain the useful structural information by using these parameters. Sodium Borohydride, NaBH4, is a metal hydr...
