Phonon Anharmonicity and Thermodynamic Properties of Strongly Correlated Iron Monosilicide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two computational approaches – a thermodynamic model based on results of ab initio calculations of the ground state and the self-consistent thermodynamic model have been applied to study thermal and elastic properties of iron monosilicide. It is shown that conventional DFT fails to reproduce experimental data for this strongly correlated compound. In addition, we have performed comparative analysis of anharmonicity of the acoustic and optical phonons in FeSi and their impact on the temperature dependencies of thermodynamic properties of FeSi.
