mechanical properties of CaFe2As2 ab-initio study

We report results on the ab-initio study of the mechanical, electronic and structural properties of the iron Pnictide compound CaFe_2 As_2 at zero pressure. Ground State energy computation was done within the Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the Projector Augmented Wave (PAW) Pseudo Potentials and the Plane Wave (PW) basis set. The Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) facilitated the exchange-correlation.
