Thermodynamic Properties of Nb4AlC3

Article Preview

Abstract:

We use ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within local density approximation (LDA) to investigate the thermodynamic properties of Nb4AlC3 under high pressure (0-100 GPa) and high temperature (0-3000 K). Through the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of Nb4AlC3.The variation of the relative volume, bulk modulus, entropy parameter S, the thermal expansion coefficient α , the heat capacity and the Gruneisen parameter γ with pressure P and temperature T, and many other thermodynamic parameters of Nb4AlC3 are obtained systematically. The bulk modulus of Nb4AlC3 is 250 GPa under zero temperature and zero pressure.
