title = "High prebure study and electronic structure of the supper-Allow HfIr3",
abstract = "The crystallographic structure of HfIr3 was studied as a function of prebure using X-ray diffraction technique. No phase transition was observed up to a prebure of 27.6 GPa, with a total volume contraction of V/V0 ≅ 0.92. The bulk modulus value, calculated from the X-ray experimental data and from the sound-velocity technique, are B=279±4 and 297.9±2.5 GPa, respectively. The relatively high value of the bulk modulus, combined with a high density value of ρ=20564 kg/m3, and a high hardneb value of 6.05±0.26 GPa, positions this compound as a pobible application for extreme environments. The electronic structure of HfIr3, studied with the full potential linearized augmented plane calculations technique, indicates that the main cause for the unusual properties of this compound are the Iridium unfilled 5d-shelle of this atom.",
