High-pressure study of the aurophilic topological Dirac material AuI
2022
We endeavour to explore the high-pressure study in the aurophilic AuI within the state-of-the-art of first principles. The impediment of expressing precise ground-state features of aurophilic compounds that had afflicted prior theoretical research has been resolved by incorporating van der Waals corrections (vdw). Mechanical and dynamical stability are ensured at ambient using the computed elastic constants and phonon dispersion curves. The dynamical instability is triggered by the application of pressure in AuI, as evidenced by the softening of an acoustic mode (Eu) at ∼7 GPa. Non-adherence of estimated elastic constants to the Born stability criterion at this pressure illustrates the syst…
High-pressure structural, lattice dynamics, and electronic properties of beryllium aluminate studied from first-principles theory
2021
Abstract The present work reports the complete study of structural, vibrational, mechanical, and electronic properties of BeAl2O4 (known as Chrysoberyl) using first-principles computing methods. The calculated ground-state properties agree quite well with previous experiments. The computed phonon dispersion curves do not show imaginary frequencies confirming the dynamical stability. In addition, the calculated elastic constants also ensure the mechanical stability through fulfillment of mechanical stability criteria. Apart from that, the theoretically determined phonon frequencies agree quite well with previous Raman and infrared experiments at ambient conditions. Various thermodynamic prop…
