AbstractFirst-principles total-energy calculations of the elastic constants, shear fault energies, and cleavage energies of TiAl are presented. We find a large elastic shear anisotropy along the [011] direction, and high APB energies due to the strong cohesion between Ti and Al layers. Shear faults of SISF, SESF, and twin boundary are predicted to be prevalent due to their low energies. The anomalous temperature dependence of flow stress is explained by the cross-slip pinning and fault dragging mechanisms. The intrinsic brittleness of TiAl is discussed in terms of the low mobility of 1/2[110] dislocations.

Abstract The anomalous temperature dependence of NQR frequencies which is often observed in crystals in which there is reorientational motion of ions or molecules is considered. Two theories of the phenomena, the jump rotation theory and the pseudo-spin theory, are described, and their successes and failures are discussed. The importance of considering other properties such as pressure dependence of NQR, heat capacity, and elastic constants is emphasized, and it is shown that neither theory is entirely satisfactory at present.

AbstractHigh-pressure third-order elastic constants of materials have rarely been investigated experimentally and theoretically to date, so the predictive ability of the method of the volume-conserving, homogeneous deformations based on the first-principles total-energy calculations is tested for the first time in this work. Using this approach, the high-pressure third-order elastic constants ${C_{111}}-3{C_{112}}+2{C_{123}}$, ${C_{111}}/2+3{C_{112}}+{C_{123}}$, ${C_{144}}-{C_{155}}$, and C456 of the MgO single crystal are obtained successfully. Meanwhile, the reliability of this method is also verified by comparing the calculated structural properties and high-pressure second-order elastic constants of the MgO single crystal with the available experimental results and other theoretical predications. Results not only indicate the accuracy of our calculations but also reveal the feasibility of the present theoretical method. It is hoped that the present theoretical method and predictions on the high-pressure third-order elastic constants of the MgO single crystal would serve as a valuable guidance or reference for further related investigations.

AbstractThe elastic constants of the L12-type ordered nickel-based intermetallics Ni3X (X = Mn, Al, Ga, Si, Ge), have been calculated by means of ab initio total-energy electronic structurecalculations based on the full-potential linear-muffin-tin-orbital (FLMTO) method. Theorigins in the electronic structure of the variation of the elastic constants, bulk and shearmoduli are investigated across the series, and the effects of the anisotropy of bonding chargedensity on the shear anisotropy factor and the degree of ductility is discussed.

ABSTRACTWe demonstrate that our tight-binding method - which is based on fitting the energy bands and the total energy of first-principles calculations as a function of volume - can be easily extended to accurately describe carbon and silicon. We present equations of state that give the correct energy ordering between structures. We also show that quantities that were not fitted, such as elastic constants and the band structure of C60, can be reliably obtained from our scheme.
