Abstract
The effect of hydrostatic compression on the lattice structure and dynamics of elpasolites Cs2NaYbF6 and Cs2NaYF6 (sp. gr. 225) has been investigated ab initio. The frequencies and types of fundamental oscillations are determined, and elastic constants are calculated. The computation is performed within the molecular orbitals-linear combinations of atomic orbitals (MO LCAO) approach using the density functional theory (DFT) method with hybrid functionals B3LYP and PBE0 in the CRYSTAL09 program. The rare-earth ion was described by representing the inner (in particular, 4f) orbitals in the form of a pseudopotential. The outer 5s and 5p orbitals, which determine chemical bonding, were described using valence basis sets.
