Third Order Elastic Constants

First-principles calculations combined with homogeneous deformation methods are used to investigate the second- and third-order elastic constants of YNi2B2C with tetragonal structure. The predicted lattice constants and second-order elastic constants of YNi2B2C agree well with the available data. The effective second-order elastic constants are obtained from the second- and third-order elastic constants for YNi2B2C. Based on the effective second-order elastic constants, Pugh’s modulus ratio, Poisson’s ratio, and Vickers hardness of YNi2B2C under high pressure are further investigated. It is shown that the ductility of YNi2B2C increases with increasing pressure.

Strain Relationship

In this work, the nonlinear elasticity of hexagonal Ti2C monolayer is studied by first-principles calculations. The second-and third-order elastic constants were calculated using nonlinear elasticity theory. The nonlinear stress-strain relationship depending on higher order elastic constants was also revealed. The intrinsic breaking strength and corresponding breaking strain were deduced as 11.9 N/m at the maximum strain 16.6% for Ti2C monolayer.

Core Width

The elastic constants, core width and Peierls stress of partial dislocation in germanium has been investigated based on the first-principles calculations and the improved Peierls−Nabarro model. Our results suggest that the predictions of lattice constant and elastic constants given by LDA are in better agreement with experiment results. While the lattice constant is overestimated at about 2.4% and most elastic constants are underestimated at about 20% by the GGA method. Furthermore, when the applied deformation is larger than 2%, the nonlinear elastic effects should be considered. And with the Lagrangian strains up to 8%, taking into account the third-order terms in the energy expansion is sufficient. Except the original γ—surface generally used before (given by the first-principles calculations directly), the effective γ—surface proposed by Kamimura et al. derived from the original one is also used to study the Peierls stress. The research results show that when the intrinsic−stacking−fault energy (ISFE) is very low relative to the unstable−stacking−fault energy (USFE), the difference between the original γ—surface and the effective γ—surface is inapparent and there is nearly no difference between the results of Peierls stresses calculated from these two kinds of γ—surfaces. As a result, the original γ—surface can be directly used to study the core width and Peierls stress when the ratio of ISFE to the USFE is small. Since the negligence of the discrete effect and the contribution of strain energy to the dislocation energy, the Peierls stress given by the classical Peierls−Nabarro model is about one order of magnitude larger than that given by the improved Peierls−Nabarro model. The result of Peierls stress estimated by the improved Peierls−Nabarro model agrees well with the 2~3 GPa reported in the book of Solid State Physics edited by F. Seitz and D. Turnbull.
