Structural, Elastic and Mechanical Properties of Cubic Perovskite Materials

Abstract

In this manuscript, theoretical work has been done on series of cubic perovskites RbVF₃, RbMnF₃, RbFeF₃, RbCoF₃, RbNiF₃, RbCuF₃, and RbZnF₃. The main focus is on to compute structural, elastic and mechanical properties of cubic materials. All subjected computational results are collected by using Linearized Augmented Plane Wave (FP-LAPW) method using Density Function Theory (DFT). The calculated structural parameters including initial geometry optimization, energy minimization calculations, and total energy values reasonably agree with the previous work. The elastic properties contain C₁₁ (for length), C₁₂ (for volume) and C₄₄ (for shape). These constants are used for calculations of different parameters to discuss mechanical properties. The results show that series of RbMF₃ (V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn) contains metallic bonding and anisotropic behavior. The temperature increases from RbVF₃ to RbZnF₃.These materials are ductile by nature. However, among all materials, RbZnF₃ is the hardest material and also contains highest melting temperature. Hence by calculating these useful elasto-mechanical results they can be applicable in various devices for technological benefits so the current investigation signifies that these calculations provide a baseline for new researchers to establish further work.
