Investigations on elastic properties and electronic structures of α-CoSn3 doped with Ni via first-principles calculations and nano-indentation measurements

The low-temperature α-CoSn3 intermetallic compound (IMC) doped with Ni is an important component at the interface between Sn-based solder and printed circuit boards, which largely controls the mechanical properties of solder joints. However, the structure and elastic properties of α-CoSn3 doped with...
