First-Principle Study on the Structural Phase Transition, and Electronic Structures of Cobalt under Pressure

Article Preview

Abstract:

The structural phase transitions and electronic structures of Co are investigated by using the first-principles calculation based on density-functional theory (DFT). Our calculated equilibrium structural parameters of Co are in good agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. The calculated phase transition hcp-Co → fcc-Co at ca. 125.25 GPa. The magnetic moment of hcp-Co and fcc-Co drops to zero at 155 GPa and 77 GPa, respectively.
