Ab initio study on structural changes and phase stability of some transition metals under pressure

Abstract

This thesis contains the details of the theoretical and computational newlineresearch of the electronic band structure density of states structural newlinephase transition and superconductivity of some technologically important newlinetransition metals under high pressure investigated using the full potential newlinelinear muffin-tin orbital FP LMTO method In this work four different newlinetypes of transition metals groups IVb Vb VIII and Ib in the periodic newlinetable are considered newline newline
