1301.6083 (Paweł T. Jochym et al.)

Ab Initio Lattice Dynamics and Elastic Constants of ZrC    [PDF]

Paweł T. Jochym, Krzysztof Parlinski
Ab initio calculations and a direct method are applied to derive the phonon dispersion relations and phonon density of states for the ZrC crystal. The results are in good agreement with neutron scattering data. The force constants are determined from the Hellmann-Feynman forces induced by atomic displacements in a 2x2x2 supercell. The elastic constants are found using the deformation method and successfully compare with experimental data.
