The exchange-correlation potential is treated within the generalized gradient approximation of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE). Single-crystal elastic constants are calculated using the total energy variation versus strain technique, then the shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and anisotropic factor are derived for polycrystalline RBRh 3 using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill approximations. Analysis of the calculated elastic constants and B/G ratios shows that these compounds are mechanically stable and ductile in nature. Using the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the effect of pressure P and temperature T on the lattice parameter a 0, bulk modulus B 0, thermal expansion coefficient , Debye temperature and the heat capacity C v for these compounds are investigated for the first time. The computed structural and elastic constants are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. 2013-08-01T08:57:51Z 2013-08-01T08:57:51Z 2012-01-20 Article Molecular Physics, vol. 110(2), 2012, pages 121-128 0026-8976 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00268976.2011.635607#.UfofZ9KvzSk http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/27293 en Taylor and Francis Group
