In result the optimized lattice parameters, independent elastic constants (C11, C12 and C44), bulk modulus B, compressibility b, shear modulus G and tetragonal shear modulus G0 are evaluated. Further, for the first time the numerical estimates of a set of elastic parameters (bulk and shear modulus, Young’s modulus Y, Poisson’s ratio (m), Lame´’s coefficients (l, k)) of the polycrystalline superconducting MCNi3 ceramics (in framework of the Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation) were performed. Besides, the band structures, densities of states (DOS), total and site-projected l-decomposed DOS at the Fermi level, the shapes of the Fermi surfaces, the Sommerfeld’s coefficients and the molar Pauli paramagnetic susceptibility for these anti-perovskites were obtained and analyzed in comparison with the available theoretical and experimental data Полный текст |
