Comment on "Hardness of covalent and ionic crystals: first-principle calculations".
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new concept, the strength of bond, and a new form expressing the hardness of covalent and ionic crystals are presented. Hardness is expressed by means of quantities inherently coupled to the atomistic structure of matter, and, therefore, hardness can be determined by first-principles calculations. Good agreement between theory and experiment is observed in the range of 2 orders of magnitude. It is shown that a lower coordination number of atoms results in higher hardness, contrary to common opinion presented in general literature.

First-principles study on the electronic structure of Thiophenbithiol (TBT) on Au(100) surface
First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...

متن کاملHardness estimation of complex oxide materials
Hardness is too complex to be described by first principles. Based on the dielectric chemical bond theory, a semiempirical approach for the evaluation of the hardness of ionic oxide crystals has been proposed. It was applied to predict the hardness of complex crystals such as the optical crystals yttrium aluminum garnet, the LaMgAl11O19 aluminates, and the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7. The ...
متن کاملInsight into the mechanical, thermodynamics and superconductor properties of NbRuB via first-principles calculation
Using the first-principles calculations, the electronic structure, chemical bonding, mechanical, thermodynamics and superconductor properties of NbRuB are investigated. The optimized lattice parameters were in good agreement with the experimental data. The analysis of the density of states and chemical bonding implies that the metallic behavior of NbRuB originates from the Ru and Nb, and the bo...
متن کاملElastic, magnetic and electronic properties of iridium phosphide Ir2P
Cubic (space group: Fmm) iridium phosphide, Ir2P, has been synthesized at high pressure and high temperature. Angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements on Ir2P powder using a diamond-anvil cell at room temperature and high pressures (up to 40.6 GPa) yielded a bulk modulus of B0 = 306(6) GPa and its pressure derivative B0' = 6.4(5). Such a high bulk modulus attributed to the sh...
