Study on Structural and Electronic Properties of REAg Intermetallics | Chapter 1 | New Trends in Physical Science Research Vol. 8

Using first principles density functional theory and the extended gradient approximation, the structural, electrical, and mechanical characteristics of binary B2 - type CsCl structured intermetallic compounds of Ag (ReAg, Re= Y, La, Pr, and Er) have been examined in this chapter. When two or more metals are combined in specific amounts and react to create a solid phase that is distinctly different from the constituent elements, intermetallic compounds are created. As ground state properties, the lattice constant (a0), bulk modulus (B), and its pressure derivative (B′) are determined. The current findings and earlier experimental and theoretical computations are in good agreement. ErAg is found to be the most ductile of all the Intermetallics due to the presence of strong metallic bonding.
