Abstract

Crystal structure, elasticity, electronic properties, phonon spectra and thermodynamic properties of PuCoGa5 and PuRhGa5 were studied with first-principles PBEsol+U method. PBEsol+U method is used to account for strong on-site Coulomb repulsion among localized Pu 5f electrons. Our results shown that the ground state properties, including lattice parameters and atomic sites, are agree well with experimental data. Mechanical properties and phonon dispersion indicated that the ground state structures (at zero temperature and pressure conditions) of PuCoGa5 and PuRhGa5 are stable. In particular, 5f electrons of PuCoGa5 and PuRhGa5 have obvious localization near Fermi level, and the localization of 5f electrons of PuRhGa5 is obviously stronger than that of PuCoGa5, which may be the reason that the superconducting critical transition temperature Tc of PuCoGa5 is higher than that of PuRhGa5. In addition, thermodynamic properties of PuCoGa5 and PuRhGa5 include Helmholtz free energy, entropy, internal energy and isovolume molar heat capacity have similar dependence on temperature.
