  • The elastic constants of bulk lithium with hexagonal close-packed (hcp) structure under high pressures have been calculated, by using Density Functional Theory and the relationship between stress and strain. From our results, C12 and C13 increase linearly with pressures, but pressure effects on C44 and C66 are not obvious. At each pressure, C33 is bigger than C11, indicating rigidity of lithium in z direction is harder than that in x, y direction. It has been found that C11 and C33 have step-like changes in the phase transition zone. The results of the compressional wave anisotropy (p) show that p is equal to 1 at zero pressure and still near 1 under high pressure, meaning hcp lithium have the compressional elastic isotropy. The shear wave anisotropy (s1, s2) are away from 1 and this tendency increases with the increasing of pressure, showing the shear elastic anisotropy. Pressure effects on the Cauchy relations and the normalized elastic constants of hcp lithium are also discussed in this paper.
