We have investigated the phase transition pressure and associated volume collapse in Sm1–XEuXS alloy (0≤x≤1) which shows transition from discontinuous to continuous as x is reduced. The calculated results from present approach are in good agreement with experimental data available for the end point members (x=0 and x=1). The results for the alloy counter parts are also in fair agreement with experimental data generated from the vegard’s law. An improved interaction potential model has been developed which includes coulomb, three body interaction, polarizability effect and overlap repulsive interaction operative up to second neighbor ions. It is found that the inclusion of polarizability effect has improved our results.

In the present paper we have calculated the phase transition and volume collapse of Samarium Bismuthide under pressure using a three body interaction potential model which includes long range columbic interaction, three body interactions and short range overlap repulsive interaction operative up to second nearest neighbour. This compound undergoes transition from NaCl structure to body-centred tetragonal (BCT) structure (distorted CsCl-type P4/mmm). Our calculated results of phase transitions and volume collapses of SmBi are found to be close to the experimental results.

AbstractIn the present paper, the structural and mechanical properties of alkaline earth oxides mixed compound SrxCd1−x O (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) under high pressure have been reported. An extended interaction potential (EIP) model, including the zero point vibrational energy effect, has been developed for this study. Phase transition pressures are associated with a sudden collapse in volume. Phase transition pressure and associated volume collapses [ΔV (Pt)/V(0)] calculated from this approach are in good agreement with the experimental values for the parent compounds (x = 0 and x = 1). The results for the mixed crystal counterparts are also in fair agreement with experimental data generated from the application of Vegard’s law to the data for the parent compounds.

AbstractIn the present paper we have investigated the high-pressure, structural phase transition of Barium chalcogenides (BaO, BaSe and BaTe) using a three-body interaction potential (MTBIP) approach, modified by incorporating covalency effects. Phase transition pressures are associated with a sudden collapse in volume. The phase transition pressures and associated volume collapses obtained from TBIP show a reasonably good agreement with experimental data. Here, the transition pressure, NaCl-CsCl structure increases with decreasing cation-to-anion radii ratio. In addition, the elastic constants and their combinations with pressure are also reported. It is found that TBP incorporating a covalency effect may predict the phase transition pressure, the elastic constants and the pressure derivatives of other chalcogenides as well.

AbstractThe high pressure phase transition and elastic behavior of rare earth monoselenides (CeSe, EuSe and LaSe) which crystallize in a NaCl-structure have been investigated using the three body interaction potential (TBIP) approach. These interactions arise due to the electronshell deformation of the overlapping ions in crystals. The TBP model consists of a long range Coulomb, three body interactions and the short range overlap repulsive forces operative up to the second neighboring ions. The authors of this paper estimated the values of the phase transition pressure and the associated volume collapse to be closer than other calculations. Thus, the TBIP approach also promises to predict the phase transition pressure and pressure variations of elastic constants of lanthanide compounds.

The mixed ionic crystals are formed by the mixing of pure components and are truly crystalline and their lattice constants change linearly with concentration from one pure member to another. The present work is intended to investigate structural properties of CaS1-xSexunder high pressure. The structural properties of mixed compound CaS1-xSex(0≤x≤1) under high pressures have been evaluated using three body potential model (TBPM). This interaction potential has been calculated by using three model parameters. For this mixed compound, the experimental data has been generated by the application of Vegard’s law to experimental values available for pure end-point members.The Structure of CaS and CaSe has been Rock Salt (B1) at ambient pressure and with increasing pressure Rock Salt (B1) structure undergo a transition in Cesium Chloride (B2) at 40GPa and 38 GPa respectively and CaS1-xSexunder goes Rock Salt to Cesium Chloride (B1→B2) structure. The difference in phase transition pressure in end-point members is low. In the present work we have investigated structural properties at high pressure for five different concentration x (x=0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1) for CaS1-xSex. Phase transition pressure and relative volume collapse at different phase transition pressure for different values of x has been calculated. Predicted phase transition pressure and relative volume collapse are found in good agreement with experimental and other theoretical data. Linear variation of phase transition pressure and lattice constant of different composition show that Vegard’s law is valid for this alloy. We have evaluated the phase transition pressure from graphical analysis where the Gibb’s free energy difference ΔG [G(B1)-G(B2)] have been plotted against pressure (P) for CaS1-xSexfor different concentration x. The pressure at which ΔG approaches zero corresponds to phase –transition pressure (Pt). The relative volume changes, ΔV(Pt)/V(0), associated with the above mentioned compression have also been computed and plotted against pressure to get the phase diagram for CaS1-xSexin different concentration.

We have investigated the pressure induced phase transition of InP from ZB to NaCl structure associated by using realistic interaction potential model (RIPM), which is modified by taking effect of temperature. This model consists of coulomb interaction, three body interaction, and short range overlap repulsive interaction up to second nearest neighbour. Phase transition pressure is associated with a sudden collapse in volume showing the incidence of first order phase transition. The phase transition pressure and associated volume collapses obtained from present model show a generally good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.

The high pressure induced structural phase transition and elastic properties of three Europium chalcogenides (EuX; X = S, Se, Te) have been studied using a two body potential approach. The calculated compression curves of EuS, EuSe and EuTe obtained so has been compared with recently measured three body potential data. The calculated transition pressures are in good agreement with the experimental data. The phase transition pressure for EuS, EuSe and EuTe going from the NaCl phase to CsCl phase have been observed are 22 GPa, 15 GPa, 10 GPa respectively, close the theoretical and experimental data. We have also calculated bulk modulas and second order elastic constants at high pressure which show partly ionic nature of theses compounds. The B1 (NaCl) phase is found to be higher in energy than the B2 (CsCl) phase and more stable at zero pressure.

The alpha-decay half-lives of the 24 isotopes of Eu (Z = 63) nuclei in the region 130≤A≤153, have been studied systematically within the Coulomb and proximity potential model (CPPM). We have modified the assault frequency and re-determined the half-lives and they show a better agreement with the experimental value. We have also done calculations on the half-lives within the recently proposed Coulomb and proximity potential model for deformed nuclei (CPPMDN). The computed half-lives are compared with the experimental data and they are in good agreement. Using our model, we could also demonstrate the influence of the neutron shell closure at N = 82, in both parent and daughter nuclei, on the alpha-decay half-lives.

The relativistic description of the proton-nucleus elastic scattering can be considered within the framework of a relativistic optical potential model. The elastic scattering of proton with the nuclei 12 C , 16 O , 20 Ne , and 24 Mg at 800 MeV and 1.04 GeV are studied for relativistic and nonrelativistic treatments. The real optical potentials and the differential cross sections of these reactions are calculated. The obtained results are compared with the corresponding results obtained from the calculation depending on the Woods–Saxon optical potential which were adjusted to fit the experimental data. The present results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper, the non-leptonic three-body decays [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are studied by introducing two-meson distribution amplitude for the [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] pairs in naive and QCD factorization (QCDF) approaches, such that the analysis is simplified into quasi-two body decays. By considering that the vector meson is being ejected in factorization, the resonant and non-resonant contributions are analyzed by using intermediate mesons in Breit–Wigner resonance formalism and the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory (HMChPT), respectively. The calculated values of the resonant and non-resonant branching ratio of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decay modes are compared with the experimental data. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the non-resonant contributions are about 70–80% of experimental data, for which the total results by considering resonant contributions are in good agreement with the experiment.
