Abstract

We present first-principles investigations on the elastic properties of XBi (X=Ho, Er) compounds. Basic physical properties, such as lattice constant, elastic constants (Cij), isotropic shear modulus (G), bulk modulus (B), Young's modulus (Y), Poisson's ratio (υ), and Anisotropy factor (A) are calculated. The calculated energy band structures show that the two compounds possess semi-metallic character. We hope that these results would be useful for future work on two compounds.
