Theoretical Analysis of High Pressure Phase Transition of Samarium Bismuthide (SmBi) with a NaCl-Type Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present paper we have calculated the phase transition and volume collapse of Samarium Bismuthide under pressure using a three body interaction potential model which includes long range columbic interaction, three body interactions and short range overlap repulsive interaction operative up to second nearest neighbour. This compound undergoes transition from NaCl structure to body-centred tetragonal (BCT) structure (distorted CsCl-type P4/mmm). Our calculated results of phase transitions and volume collapses of SmBi are found to be close to the experimental results.
