First Principles Computations of Second-Order Elastic Constants (SOEC) and Equations of State of Rutile TiO2

Table 3

The elastic constants and bulk modulus computational results using the Hartree Fock and DFT LDA, PWGGA, BLYP, B3LYP, and B3PW potentials with basis set 2. All values are in GPA. The numbers within parentheses are percent differences from experiment. (See Sections 2, 3, 5, and 7).
