First-Principles Study of Mechanical and Thermodynamic Properties of Binary and Ternary CoX (X = W and Mo) Intermetallic Compounds

In this study, the structural, elastic, and thermodynamic properties of DO<sub>19</sub> and L1<sub>2</sub> structured Co<sub>3</sub>X (X = W, Mo or both W and Mo) and μ structured Co<sub>7</sub>X<sub>6</sub> were investigated using the dens...
