Ab initio electronic structure calculations of the ideal strength Fe, Co, Ni, and Cr under isotropic tension were performed using linear muffin-tin orbital method in atomic sphere approximation. Magnetic ordering was taken into account by means a spin-polarized calculation. Two approximations for exchange-correlation term employed: namely, local (spin) density approximation generalized gradient Computed values equilibrium lattice parameters, bulk moduli, magnetic moments compared with...

Critical shear stress under the superimposed hydrostatic and uniaxial normal conditions of C, Si, Ge, SiC is evaluated by ab initio density functional theory calculations to investigate response ideal strength (ISS) stresses in covalent crystals. We find a substantial difference responses ISS among crystals examined; e.g., compression increases C but decreases that SiC.
