摘要
The structural, elastic, magnetic and electronic properties of the layered tetragonal phase KCO2Se2 have been examined in details by means of the first-principles calculations and analyzed in comparison with the isostructural KFe2Se2 as the parent phase for the newest group of ternary superconducting iron-chalcogenide materials. Our data show that KCO2Se2 should be characterized as a quasi-two-dimensional ferromagnetic metal with highly anisotropic inter-atomic bonding owing to mixed ionic, covalent, and metallic contributions inside [Co2Se2] blocks, and with ionic bonding between the adjacent [Co2Se2] blocks and K sheets. This material should behave in a brittle manner, adopt enhanced elastic anisotropy rather in compressibility than in shear, and should show very low hardness. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
