First-principles study of structural stability and elastic properties of MgPd3 and its hydride

Theoretical study of structural stability and elastic properties of α- and β-MgPd3 intermetallic compounds as well as their hydrides have been carried out based on density functional theory. The results indicate α-MgPd3 is more stable than β phase with increased stability in their hydrides. The calc...
