First-Principles Investigations of Structural Stability of LuN

Article Preview

Abstract:

An investigation on structural stability of LuN under high pressure has been conducted using first-principles calculations. At elevated pressures LuN is predicted to undergo a phase transition from NaCl-type structure (B1) into CsCl-type structure (B2). The predicted transition pressure is 220 GPa. The phonon dispersion curves of B1 and B2 at 0 and 220 GPa are presented.
