Ab initio study of the pressure dependence of mechanical and thermodynamic properties of GeB2O4 (B = Mg, Zn and Cd) spinel crystals

Ab initio full-potential (linearized) augmented plane-wave plus local orbitals (FP-(L)APW + lo) calculations are performed to study the hydrostatic pressure dependence of the mechanical and thermodynamics properties of GeMg2O4, GeZn2O4, and GeCd2O4 cubic spinels. The calculated equilibrium structura...
