摘要：

Three competing structures (C11(b), C16 and E9(3)) of intermetallic Zr2Cu have been systematically investigated by first-principles calculations and quasi-harmonic Debye model. Both the calculated equation of states (EOS) and pressure-enthalpy results indicate a structural phase transition from C11(b) to C16 phase at around 11-14 GPa. The calculated equilibrium crystal parameters and elastic constants are in consistence with available experimental or theoretical data. All three phases are mechanically stable according to the elastic stability criteria, and ductile according to Pugh's ratio, while the ambient-stable C11(b) phase shows a higher elastic anisotropy. Furthermore, differences in the nature of bonding between three competing structures are uncovered by electron density topological analysis. C11(b) Zr2Cu possesses an intriguing pseudo BaFe2As2-type structure with the charge density maxima at Zr tetrahedral interstices serving as Fe-position pseudoatoms; C16 Zr2Cu contains Zr-pair configurations bonded through bifurcated Zr Zr bonding paths; while the E9(3) phase has only conventional straight bonding. Additionally, through quasi-harmonic Debye model, the pressure and temperature dependences of the bulk modulus, specific heat, Debye temperature, Gruneisen parameter and thermal expansion coefficient for three phases are obtained and discussed.
