Theoretical Study on the Mechanism of Anisotropic Thermal Properties of Ti2AlC and Cr2AlC
TL;DR: In this article, temperature dependences of thermal and elastic properties, such as the Gruneisen parameters, thermal expansion, bulk modulus, and heat capacity of Ti2Alc and Cr2AlC, are studied by combining first-principles method and lattice dynamic calculation based on the quasi-harmonic model.
