The physical properties of ZrTi ( x = 0.0, 0.33, 0.5, 0.67, 0.75 and 1.00) alloys were simulated by virtual crystal approximation (VCA) methods which is generally used for disordered solid solutions modeling. The elastic constant, electronic structure and thermal Equation of state (EOS) of disordered ZrTi alloys under pressure are investigated by plane-wave pseudo-potential method. Our simulations reveal increasement of variations of the calculated equilibrium volumes and decreasement of Bulk modulus as a function of the alloy compositions. Lattice parameters a and c of alloys with different Zr concentrations decrease linearly with pressure increasing, but the c/avalues are increasing as pressure increases, indicating no phase transitions under pressure from 0 GPa to 100 GPa. The elastic constants and the Bulk modulus to the Shear modulus ratios ( B/G) indicate good ductility of Zr, ZrTi, ZrTi, ZrTi and Ti, but the ZrTi alloy is brittle under 0 K and 0 GPa. The metallic behavior of these alloys was also proved by analyzing partial and total DOS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
