A theoretical study of the thermodynamic properties of YMgX4 (X=Co, Ni, Cu) compounds

The stability, electronic structures, elastic and thermal properties of the ternary YMgX4 (X=Co, Ni, Cu) compounds are investigated by first principle calculations in combination with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The three compounds are predicted to be stable according to the formation enthalpies...
