This paper presents the strain effects on the structural, electronic and phonon properties of a newly proposed SrBaSn half Heusler compound. Since it is stable considering chemical thermodynamics, we tested its strength against uniform strain w.r.t phonon spectrum and it produces a direct bandgap of 0.7 eV. The direct bandgap reduces to 0.19 eV at -12% strain beyond which the structure is unstable. However, an indirect gap of 0.63 eV to 0.39 eV is observed in the range of +5% to +8% strain and afterwards the strain application destabilizes the structure. From elastic parameters, the ductile nature of this material is observed.
本文介绍了应变对新提出的SrBaSn半赫斯勒化合物的结构、电子和声子性质的影响。由于从化学热力学角度考虑它是稳定的,我们针对声子谱测试了其抵抗均匀应变的强度,它产生了0.7 eV的直接带隙。在-12%应变时,直接带隙减小到0.19 eV,超过此应变结构变得不稳定。然而,在+5%至+8%应变范围内观察到间接带隙从0.63 eV变为0.39 eV,之后施加应变会使结构不稳定。从弹性参数来看,该材料具有延展性。
