Abstract
The density functional theory was used to calculate elastic tensor for the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnetic compound Cu(en)(H₂O)₂SO₄, with en = C₂H8N₂. The bulk, shear, Young moduli, Poisson ratio, and elastic anisotropy were determined for the polycrystalline Cu(en)(H₂O)₂SO₄ by employing the Hill averaging of the single crystal elastic constants. They were compared to the respective quantities for other low-dimensional magnetic systems. The Cu(en)(H₂O)₂SO₄ compound is predicted to be soft and ductile. We have also estimated the Debye temperature for the Cu(en)(H₂O)₂SO₄ single crystal by using the sound velocities obtained from the calculated elastic constants.
