β¦ Synopsis
We have computed the lattice constants, bulk modulus, and total-and partial-density of states of MAX phases Ti 2 InC, Zr 2 InC and Hf 2 InC in the hexagonal P6 3 /mmc space group by ab initio calculation. The deviations from the experimental values for lattice constants are below 1.6%. The bulk moduli are computed to be 128 GPa, 113 GPa, and 136 GPa, respectively. The Zr 2 InC has the lowest bulk modulus among all MAX phases studied to date, which is related to the weaker covalent interaction between Zr-d and C-s, C-p states.

The structural, electronic and dynamic properties of cesium chloride, ZrRu and ZrZn were studied by employing an ab initio pseudopotential method and a linear response scheme, within the generalized gradient approximation. The calculated lattice constant, bulk modulus and first-order pressure deriva
Franck-Condon factors for vibronic transitions from the ground states of the HF and DF molecules to the X 'TI and A 'Z\* states of the corresponding parent ions are computed in the Born-Oppenhcimcr approximation. The distribution of these Franck-Condon factors between bound and unbound vibrational
