Özet
The structural, mechanical, electronic, thermodynamic, and hydrogen storage characteristics of trigonal XAlH6 (X=La, Ce, and Pr) has been studied by using density functional theory which are not previously explored experimentally/computationally. Firstly, the equilibrium crystal structures, formation enthalpies for XAlH6 (X=La, Ce, and Pr) are computed and assessed for synthesisability and thermodynamic stability of the materials. Subsequently, elastic constants of the materials were calculated and evaluated. The results indicated that XAlH6 (X=La, Ce, and Pr) is mechanically, thermodynamically stable, and feasible for synthesis. The examination of bulk modulus to shear modulus ratio, Cauchy pressure, and Poisson’s ratio displayed that XAlH6 exhibits brittleness. The electronic band structure analyses demonstrate that there is a band gap of 2.05 eV and 0.95 eV between the maximum of the valence band and …
