摘要
First principle calculations were made to investigate the elastic properties of Mn(3)AC antiperovskites, A = Zn, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Ge and Sn. The estimated equilibrium lattice parameters are in agreement with the experimental ones. From the single crystal elastic constants we have calculated the polycrystalline elastic moduli: the bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, tetragonal shear modulus G', Young's modulus Y, Cauchy's pressure CP, Poisson's ratio v, elastic anisotropy factor and Pugh's criterion G/B. Using Debye's approximation we have deduced the elastic wave velocities and Debye's temperature. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
