Based on the density functional theory and the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the structural and thermodynamic properties of I-4m2-BCN have been studied in this paper. Some structural parameters are presented in this work. All of these results are in excellent agreement with the other available results. The anisotropy of elastic properties are also studied systematically in this paper. Finally, the thermodynamic properties of I-4m2-BCN are also researched through the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The relations among the thermal expansion α, the Debye temperature ΘD, the heat capacity CV and CP , the Grüneisen parameter γ, entropy S, and the Gibbs free energy G with pressure P and temperature T are studied systematically.
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.
