Structure and Lattice Dynamics of Rare-Earth Zirconates R2Zr2O7 (R = La–Lu): Ab Initio Calculation
摘要
Abstract
R2Zr2O7 (R = La–Lu) crystals were studied by DFT/GCA calculations. The phonon frequencies at the Γ point were found. The components of the elastic tensor for the entire R2Zr2O7 (R = La–Lu) crystal series and their hardness were calculated. The change in the phonon frequencies upon hydrostatic compression was described.
