Abstract
A theoretical study of the high pressure behavior, elastic and various thermo-physical properties of plutonium monochalcogenides using three-body interaction potential (TBIP) model is carried out. The TBIP includes long range Coulombic, three body interaction forces and short range overlap repulsive forces operative up-to next nearest neighbor ions. A static simulation technique including three body interaction effects has been used to investigate phase transition pressures, volume collapses, elastic behavior, stability criteria and various thermo physical properties at high-pressures. The results found are well suited with available experimental data..
Keywords
