    In this work, we have theoretically investigated the band structure of antiperovskite chromium-based carbides and nitrides Cr3PX (X = C and N) using the first-principles calculation based on the FP-APW+LO method. The principal structural properties i.e., lattice constants (a,b,c) and internal parameters are in accordance with the experimental results. The calculated values of elastic constants indicated that the mechanical strength for both Cr3PC and Cr3PN compounds at (001) plane is higher than the (100) and (010) planes. Moreover, the Cr3PX compounds are expected to be hard materials with ductile nature. In addition, we have found that the FM ground state of herein materials Cr3PC and Cr3PN are energetically favorable with low magnetic moments of about 2.27 and 2.94 μB, respectively, confirming that these are weak ferromagnets. Based on the spin-polarized electronic band structure we have found that both alloys have metallic behavior, such behavior has been shown in the calculated electrical conductivity. We have also estimated other thermoelectric constants like the Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, power factor and electrical resistivity of Cr3PC and Cr3PN compounds.

    In the present work, we investigate the structural, optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of the YLi3X2 (X = Sb, Bi) compounds using the full potential augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-APW+lo) method. The exchange–correlation potential is treated with the generalized gradient approximation/local density approximation (GGA/LDA) and with the modified Becke–Johnson potential (TB-mBJ) in order to improve the electronic band structure calculations. In addition, the estimated ground state properties such as the lattice constants, external parameters, and bulk moduli agree well with the available experimental data. Our band structure calculations with GGA and LDA predict that both compounds have semimetallic behaviors. However, the band structure calculations with the GGA/TB-mBJ approximation indicate that the ground state of the YLi3Sb2 compound is semiconducting and has an estimated indirect band gap (Γ–L) of about 0.036 eV while the ground state of YLi3Bi2 compound is semimetallic. Conversely the LDA/TB-mBJ calculations indicate that both compounds exhibit semiconducting characters and have an indirect band gap (Γ–L) of about 0.15 eV and 0.081 eV for YLi3Sb and YLi3Bi2 respectively. Additionally, the optical properties reveal strong responses of the herein materials in the energy range between the IR and extreme UV regions. Thermoelectric properties such as thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermo power factors are also calculated.

    The structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of the sodium polonide Na2Po compound have been studied through the full potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbitals (FP-LAPW + lo) and tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TB-LMTO) methods. The exchange–correlation potential was treated within the local density approximation for the TB-LMTO calculations and within the generalized gradient approximation for the FP-LAPW + lo calculations. In addition, Tran and Blaha-modified Becke–Johnson (TB-mBJ) potential and Engel–Vosko generalized gradient approximation were used for the electronic and optical properties. Ground state properties such as the equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative were calculated and compared with available data. The single-crystal and polycrystalline elastic constants of the considered compound were calculated via the total energy versus strain in the framework of the FP-LAPW + lo approach. The calculated electronic structure reveals that Na2Po is a direct band gap semiconductor. The frequency-dependent ielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity oefficient and electron energy loss function spectra are calculated for a wide energy range. The variations of the lattice constant, bulk modulus, heat capacity, volume expansion coefficient and Debye temperature with temperature and pressure were calculated successfully using the FP-LAPW + lo method in combination with the quasi-harmonic Debye model.

    In this work, we have investigated the structural, phase transition, optoelectronic and magnetic properties of AmO2 using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-LAPW+lo) method. The exchange-correlation potential was treated with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Moreover, the GGA+U approximation (where U denotes the Hubbard Coulomb energy U term) is employed to treat the f electrons properly. The structurally stable AmO2 compound is the Fm3m phase and at a pressure between 40 and 60 GPa underwent a phase transition to the Pnma phase. Our present calculations have considered ferromagnetic and simple antiferromagnetic ground states and the AF state is favored. However, the experimental situation suggests a complex magnetic structure, perhaps involving multipolar ordering. Our band structure calculation with GGA and GGA+U predicted the metallic behavior of AmO2; however, with the spin–orbit coupling (SOC) added to the Coulomb energy U term, semiconducting ground states with antiferromagnetism is correctly predicted. The projected density of states from the energy-band structure indicates that the band gap opening is governed by the partially filled Am “5f” state, and the calculated gap is approximately 1.29 eV. Moreover, the optical properties reveal strong response of AmO2 in the UV region.

    In this study, we predict the structural phase transitions as well as opto-electronic properties of the filled-tetrahedral (Nowotny–Juza) NaZnAs compound. Calculations employ the full potential (FP) linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) plus local orbitals (lo) scheme. The exchange–correlation potential is treated within the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew–Burke and Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE). In addition, Tran and Blaha (TB) modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ) potential is also used to obtain more accurate optoelectronic properties. Geometry optimization is performed to obtain reliable total energies and other structural parameters for each NaZnAs phase. In our study, the sequence of the structural phase transition on compression is Cu2Sb-type → β → α phase. NaZnAs is a direct (Γ–Γ) band gap semiconductor for all the structural phases. However, compared to PBE-GGA, the mBJ approximation reproduces better fundamental band gaps. Moreover, for insight into its potential for photovoltaic applications, different optical parameters are studied.

    Based on first principles spin-polarized density functional theory, the structural, elastic electronic and magnetic properties of Zn1−xVxSe (for x=0.25, 0.50, 0.75) in zinc blende structure have been studied. The investigation was done using the full-potential augmented plane wave method as implemented in WIEN2k code. The exchange-correlation potential was treated with the generalized gradient approximation PBE-GGA for the structural and elastic properties. Moreover, the PBE-GGA+U approximation (where U is the Hubbard correlation terms) is employed to treat the “d” electrons properly. A comparative study between the band structures, electronic structures, total and partial densities of states and local moments calculated within both GGA and GGA+U schemes is presented. The analysis of spin-polarized band structure and density of states shows the half-metallic ferromagnetic character and are also used to determine s(p)-d exchange constants N0α (conduction band ) and N0β (valence band) due to Se(4p)–V(3d) hybridization. It has been clearly evidence that the magnetic moment of V is reduced from its free space change value of 3 µB and the minor atomic magnetic moment on Zn and Se are generated.

    Structural, elastic, optoelectronic and thermodynamic properties of REGa3 (RE = Sc and Lu) compounds have been studied self consistently by employing state of the art full potential (FP) linearized (L) approach of augmented plane wave (APW) plus local orbitals method. Calculations were executed at the level of Perdew–Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE) parameterized generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for exchange correlation functional in addition to modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ) potential. Our obtained results of lattice parameters show reasonable agreement to the previously reported experimental and other theoretical studies. Analysis of the calculated band structure of ScGa3 and LuGa3 compounds demonstrates their metallic character. Moreover, a positive value of calculated Cauchy pressure, in addition to reflecting their ductile nature, endorses their metallic character as well. To understand optical behavior calculations related to the important optical parameters; real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, reflectivity R(ω), refractive index n(ω) and electron energy-loss function L(ω) have also been performed. In the present work, thermodynamically properties are also investigated by employing lattice vibrations integrated in quasi harmonic Debye model. Obtained results of volume, heat capacity and Debye temperature as a function of temperature for both compounds, at different values of pressure, are found to be consistent. The calculated value of melting temperature for both compounds (ScGa3 and LuGa3) is found to be similar to the experimental data with an underestimation of 5%.

    Ab-initio full potential augmented plane wave plus local orbitals method has been used to investigate the structural phase transition, mechanical and optoelectronic properties of the Nowotny–Juza filled-tetrahedral compound NaZnP. The exchange-correlation potential was treated within the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew–Burke and Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE) and the modified Becke–Johnson potential (TB-mBJ) to improve the accuracy of the electronic band structure. Total-energy and geometry optimizations have been carried out for all structural phases of NaZnP. The following sequence of pressure-driven structural transitions has been found: Cu2Sb-type → β-phase → α-phase. The single-crystal elastic constants of NaZnP in the Cu2Sb-type structure have been calculated using total-energy versus strain method and their corresponding elastic moduli of polycrystalline aggregate, including Young’s modulus, shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio, have been derived. From the elastic parameters, it is inferred that this compound is brittle in nature. The elastic anisotropy was studied in detail using three different indexes; especially the 3D direction dependence of the Young’s modulus was visually described. Furthermore, calculated electronic band structure shows that NaZnP in the Cu2Sb-type phase has a direct energy band gap (Γ–Γ). The TB-mBJ approximation yields larger fundamental band gaps compared to those of PBE-GGA. The examined charge density distributions for the Cu2Sb-type structure show a covalent character for Zn–P bond and ionic nature for Na–P bond. Additionally, real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, reflectivity and energy loss function spectra have been calculated for radiation up to 30.0 eV with an incident radiation polarized parallel to both [1 0 0] and [0 0 1] crystalline directions.

Furthermore, we present a comparative study between the band structures, electronic structures, total and partial densities of states and local moments calculated within both GGA and GGA + U schemes. Our band structure calculations show the metallic behavior of this ferromagnetic compound. The thermodynamic properties are predicted through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the lattice vibrations are taken into account. The variation of relative change in volume, heat capacities and the Debye temperature with temperature and pressure are successfully achieved.

The exchange-correlation (XC) potential is treated with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA). The computed ground state properties agree well with the available theoretical and experimental values. The elastic constants are obtained by calculating the total energy versus volume conserving strains using Mehl model. The electronic and bonding properties are discussed from the calculations of band structures (BSs), densities of states and electron charge densities. The volume and bulk modulus at high pressure and temperature are investigated. Additionally, thermodynamic properties such as the heat capacity, thermal expansion and Debye temperature at high pressures and temperatures are also analyzed.

    To study the structural, electronic, and optical properties of the half-Heusler CoCrZ (Z = Al, Ga), we have performed ab initio calculations using the full-potential with the mixed basis (APW + lo) method within the generalized gradient approximation. The structural properties as well as the band structures, and total and atomic projected densities of states are computed. From electronic band structures we have found that both compounds have a semimetallic nature. We also studied the evolution of electronic structure of CoCrAl under external hydrostatic pressure. It is found that the pseudo gap around the Fermi level increases continuously with increasing pressure, while the electronic density of states at the Fermi level does not change significantly. Furthermore, the optical properties, such as the dielectric function and refractive index were evaluated and discussed under pressure up to 20 GPa, and the electrical conductivity and electron energy loss were calculated for radiation up to 30 eV. The same way, we have studied the magnetic properties of CoCrAl for lattice expansion up to a = 1.1a0 where a transition from the paramagnetic phase to the half-metallic phase is expected.

Furthermore, we have analyzed the thermodynamic properties such as the heat capacities, CV and CP, thermal expansion, α, and Debye temperature, ΘD, under variable pressure and temperature. We have calculated the isothermal elastic constants CijT of the YX monochalcogenides in both NaCl-B1 and CsCl-B2 phases at zero pressure and a temperature range . The results show that rare earth yttrium monochalcogenides are mechanically stable at high temperature. The elastic anisotropy of all studied materials in the two phases has been studied using three different methods.

The exchange–correlation potential is treated within the generalized gradient approximation of Wu and Cohen. Moreover, the alternative form of GGA proposed by Engel and Vosko is also used for the electronic properties. The calculated structural parameters are in excellent agreement with the experimental data. The elastic constants Cij are predicted using the total energy variation versus strain technique. The polycrystalline elastic moduli, namely; shear modulus, Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, sound velocities and Debye temperature are derived from the obtained single-crystal elastic constants. Brittleness behavior of these compounds is interpreted via the calculated elastic constants Cij. Calculated band structures show that KLiS and KLiSe have an indirect energy band gap, whereas KLiTe has a direct energy band gap. The contribution of alkali metals and chalcogen atoms to the electronic band structure and electronic density of states has been analyzed. This is the first quantitative theoretical prediction of the elastic and electronic properties for these investigated compounds and still awaits experimental confirmations.
