摘要
Using first principles calculations, structural, electronic, elastic and optical properties of Mg2C crystal have been studied in the cubic phase. Elastic results presented a brittle manner for this compound. Modified Becke Johnson correction on electronic calculations is performed to gain the correct results, and the exerting hydrostatic pressure causes to increasing energy gap as the gap direction remains from Gamma to X in considered ranges of pressure. Also, the optical spectra have a blue shift to higher energies by exerting pressure. The obtained results exhibit that electronic and optical properties of Mg2C crystal can be tuned by applying hydrostatic pressure. (C) 2017 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
