First-principles studies on band structure and mechanical properties of BiFeO3 ceramics under high pressure

Mechanical properties and band structure of rhombohedral BiFeO3 nanostructures were studied using density functional theory for different pressures in the range from 0 to 50GPa. The elastic constant of BiFeO3 nanoceramics was determined and different moduli were calculated for various applied pressu...
