First Principles Study on the Effect of Pressure on the Structure, Elasticity, and Magnetic Properties of Cubic GaFe(CN)<sub>6</sub> Prussian Blue Analogue

The structure, elasticity, and magnetic properties of Prussian blue analogue GaFe(CN)<sub>6</sub> under external pressure ranges from 0 to 40 GPa were studied by first principles calculations. In the range of pressure from 0 to 35 GPa, GaFe(CN)<sub>6</sub> not only has the ha...
