The optimized lattice parameters and the bulk modulus at zero pressure agree well with available experimental and theoretical data. The elastic constants C 11, C 12, C 44, C 33, C 13, and C 66 at zero pressure are calculated to be 359.91, 264.69, 143.28, 309.45, 218.45, and 260.74 GPa, respectively. Elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio under pressures are obtained. Our results indicate that the rutile phase is mechanically stable below 11.99 GPa. The elastic anisotropy of rutile phase under pressures has also been predicted.Read More
