Abstract

The elastic constants of the L12-type ordered nickel-based intermetallics Ni3X (X = Mn, Al, Ga, Si, Ge), have been calculated by means of ab initio total-energy electronic structurecalculations based on the full-potential linear-muffin-tin-orbital (FLMTO) method. Theorigins in the electronic structure of the variation of the elastic constants, bulk and shearmoduli are investigated across the series, and the effects of the anisotropy of bonding chargedensity on the shear anisotropy factor and the degree of ductility is discussed.
