摘要
We present theoretical results for various properties of the stable alpha and metastable kappa phase of alumina, in particular elastic and optical properties. Two different computational methods have been used, the dacapo plane-wave-pseudopotential and the full potential linearized muffin tin orbital methods. The calculations are based upon a recent determination of the crystal structure of kappa-Al2O3. Comparison between the two methods and available experimental data show that they are both reliable for calculating the ground-state and mechanical properties for this type of complex material.
