  • The elastic constants parameters, bulk modulus, shear modulus and mechanical properties of the LaB6 crystalline material have been systematically studied with density functional theory and the Birch-Murnaghan formation. The results show that the LaB6 has larger C11, indicating its larger elastic constant along this direction. The LaB6 also has large bulk modulus, and the bulk modulus is isotropic, whereas the shear modulus is moderately anisotropic. The LaB6 crystalline material has large Young’s modulus of 227.85 GPa, so it is hard for elastic deformation. The Poisson’s ratio is 0.26 and the B/G value is 1.44, these values indicate the moderate brittleness of this material. The hardness of LaB6 is 11.56 GPa and the mean elastic velocity is 4.87 km/s. The LaB6 has narrow band gap of 0.20 eV, showing that it is metallic type material. The electrons of LaB6 have strong localization interaction, and there is covalent bond between La and B.
