The physical properties of new MAX phase Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb): A DFT investigation
摘要
In this work, the effect of pressure on structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb) predicted by first-principles calculation. Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb) has elastic anisotropy at 0 ~ 40GPa. Thermodynamic properties at different pressure and temperature are investigated by full quasi-harmonic approximation (full QHA). The Debye temperature of Zr3XC2 is more sensitive to pressure change than temperature change. The optical calculation shows the plasma frequency of Zr3XC2(X=Cd, Sb) is 35.13eV and 35.38eV.
