Application of pseudopotential theory is challenging in the theoretical study of lattice mechanical properties of heavy alkaline earth metals, in which sp-d hybridization plays an important role as d-bands of these metals are very close to Fermi level. A local form of the pseudopotential due to George et al. has been used in the present study to compute the equilibrium lattice constant, binding energy, phonon dispersion curves in symmetry directions, interatomic potential, mode Gruneisen parameter, dynamical elastic constants, shear modulus, bulk modulus, phonon density of states, specific heat at constant pressure, isothermal bulk modulus, Debye Waller factor, mean square displacement, Debye temperature, Cauchy ratio, Poisson ratio, Young’s modulus and propagation velocities of elastic waves in symmetry directions of alkaline earth metals Ca and Sr. Computed results of these physical properties are compared with available experimental results and found to be in good agreement. Such capability of presently used local pseudopotential suggests that the pseudopotential itself accounts s-p-d hybridization in alkaline earth metals Ca and Sr without introducing a short range Born-Mayer like repulsive potential. |
