The elastic properties of the alkali hexatitanate family A2Ti6O13 (A = H, Li, Na, K, and Rb) are investigated which based on Density Functional Theory (DFT) within Generalized Gradient Approximation plus Hubbard U (GGA+U) approach. The results showed that all members of the family are wide-band semiconductors and the calculated lattice parameters are consistent with experimental values. In terms of mechanical stability, the results indicated that the alkali hexatitanates are highly incompressible to uniaxial stress, with the largest elastic constant C22 reaching values as high as 265 GPa in K2Ti6O13. The obtained elastic constants, using the stress-strain method, were used to calculate bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, brittleness and ductility, elastic anisotropy, Vickers hardness, sound velocities, and the Debye temperature. It was found that the member of the family with the highest atomic number of the alkaline group, Rb2Ti6O13, had the highest values of bulk, shear, and Young's modulus, as well as the lowest values of shear and compression anisotropy, and a high Vickers hardness.
