The elastic properties of Mn3(Cu1−xGex)N compounds
We present an ab initio study of the elastic properties of the negative thermal expansion (NTE) compound Mn3(Cu1−xGex)N. The calculated energies show that the Ge atoms can be easily doped into the compound and, the distribution of the Ge atoms in the compound is very uniform. The elastic moduli of t...
