Abstract
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.
Abstract (in Czech)
Pomocí výpočtů elektronové struktury z prvních principů je studována stabilita polonia v prosté kubické struktuře (alfa-Po) vzhledem k trigonální spirální struktuře, kterou mají Se a Te, a vzhledem k martenzitickým fázovým transformacím na tetragonální a trigonální fáze. Je vysvětlena stabilita prosté kubické struktury alfa-Po i jeho vysoká elastická anizotropie. Teoretické pevnosti pro tahové namáhání ve směrech [001] a [111] činí 4.2 GPa and 4.7 GPa a jsou to nejnižší hodnoty dosud nalezené pro prvky. Podle Pughova a Frantsevitchova kriteria vychází polonium jako kujný materiál. Také kladná hodnota Cauchzova tlaku potvrzuje kovový charakter vazby.
