摘要：

The stability of the epsilon phase of zirconium hydride is studied using the pseudopotential plane wave method. The fluorite structure is mechanically unstable with respect to a tetragonal distortion. However, the minimum corresponding to c > a is almost degenerate in energy with that for c < a. The distortion explains the uniaxial misfit strain responsible for delayed hydride cracking in zirconium alloys.
