First-principle calculations have been adopted in order to reveal and deeply understand the structural, electronic, elastic, thermodynamic, and vibrational properties of full-Heusler X2TiAl (X = Au, Ru, and Zr) alloys in theL21phase. The fundamental physical properties such as bulk modulus, its pressure derivative, anisotropy factor, shear modulus, Poisson’s ratio, Cauchy pressure, elastic constants, heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, and Young’s modulus are obtained and compared with the literature. Debye temperature and Grüneisen parameter are also evaluated over the temperature range of 0–1500 K. Electronic band structures and their partial density of states and phonon dispersion curves are presented for all alloys and used to interpret the electronic and mechanical properties and stabilities of alloys in theL21phase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
