摘要
The electronic and elastic properties of cubic 5d transition metal monocarbides in rocksalt, cesium chloride, and zinc blende structures have been studied by first principles calculations. The calculations show that the incompressibility for ReC in cesium chloride structure is even higher than that of diamond under pressure (above 89 GPa). The transformation pressure from zinc blende structure to rocksalt structure takes place at about 47 GPa for PtC. HfC-NaCl, ReC-CsCl, and HfC-ZnS have the smallest metallicity, leading to higher hardness. A valence electron number of 8/cell may be a stable valence shell configuration for 5d transition metal monocarbides in rocksalt and zinc blende structures. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
