TY - JOUR ID - 905750 AU - Legut, Dominik - Friák, Martin - Šob, Mojmír PY - 2010 TI - Phase stability, elasticity, and theoretical strength of polonium from first principles JF - Physical Review B VL - 81 IS - 21 SP - "nestrankovano" EP - "nestrankovano" PB - The American Physical Society SN - 10980121 KW - polonium KW - phase stability KW - elasticity KW - theoretical strength KW - ab initio calculations N2 - We investigate the stability of Po in its ground-state simple cubic structure (alpha-Po) with respect to the trigonal spiral structure exhibited by Se and Te and to the displacive phase transformations into either tetragonal or trigonal phases. The origin of the phase stability of alpha-Po is elucidated and high elastic anisotropy of alpha-Po is explained as a consequence of its simple cubic structure. Finally, an uniaxial tensile test for loading along the [001] and [111] directions is simulated; the corresponding theoretical tensile strengths calculated within the LDA+SO approach amount to 4.2 GPa and 4.7 GPa, respectively, which are the lowest values predicted in an element so far. According to Pugh and Frantsevich criteria, alpha-Po is predicted to be ductile. Also a positive value of the Cauchy pressure confirms the metallic type of interatomic bonding. ER -
