Ab-initio elastic and thermodynamic properties of high-temperature cubic intermetallics at finite temperatures

In thiswork we present the development of a method for the prediciton of finite temperature elastic and thermodynamic properties of cubic, non-magnetic unary and binary metals from first principles calculations. Vibrational, electronic and anharmonic contributions to the free energy are accounted fo...
