Elastic anisotropy and electronic properties of Si3N4 under pressures

First principles calculations are performed to systematically investigate the electronic structures, elastic, anisotropic and electronic properties of the monoclinic, tetragonal and orthorhombic structures of Si3N4 under pressure. Anisotropy studies show that three Si3N4 phases exhibit a large aniso...
