Abstract:The electronic structures, chemical bonding and elastic properties of the Co2P-type structure phase ultra-incompressible Re2P (orthorhombic phase) were investigated by density-functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated energy band structures show that the orthorhombic structure phase Re2P is metallic material. The density of state (DOS) and the partial density of state (PDOS) calculations show that the DOS near the Fermi level is mainly from the Re-5d state. Population analysis suggests that the chemical bonding in Re2P has predominantly covalent character with mixed covalent-ionic character. Basic physical properties, such as lattice constant, bulk modulus, shear modulus, and elastic constants Cij, were calculated. The elastic modulus and Poisson ratio were also predicted. The results show that the Co2P-type structure phase Re2P is mechanically stable and behaves in a brittle manner.
