Abstract

A study of the crystal structure, mechanical and acoustic properties of two P21∕a and P21∕c monoclinic phases of naphthalene and anthracene was performed using ab initio method of linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) and basis sets: C_6-21G*, H_3-1p1G. The method was implemented in the CRYSTAL′14,′17 software package using electron density functional theory including van der Waals interactions (DFT-D2 and DFT-D3 (BJ)), in the local density approximation (LDA) with VWN exchange-correlation potential, gradient approximation PBE exchange-correlation functional and B3LYP hybrid functional. The calculated elastic constants for the first time are in moderate agreement with experimental data. Bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E and the Poisson’s ratio μ, as well as acoustic properties (average velocity of sound 〈v〉, the Debye temperature ΘD, and acoustic Grüneisen parameter γa) were obtained using the Voigt–Reuss–Hill model.
