摘要
In this work, the structural, electronic, elastic and vibrational properties of orthorhombic Pmnm NaNb3O8 are investigated by means of ab initio total energy calculations. The obtained structural parameters are in good agreement with experimental data available at zero pressure. Furthermore, we study the pressure dependence of lattice parameters, bond lengths and bulk moduli of the constituent polyhedra. The electronic band structure is discussed from the density of states and the gap evolution under pressure is analyzed. The change of the elastic constants and the major elastic moduli, with the pressure are described, and several anisotropy indices are evaluated. Frequency, symmetry, pressure coefficients and Gruneisen parameters of phonon modes are reported. We discuss also the mechanical and dynamical stability and we conclude that the compound is dynamically unstable above 5.7 GPa. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
