Abstract
We have studied structural, thermodynamic, elastic, and electronic properties of platinum carbide (PtC) in zinc-blende and rock-salt structures by performing ab initio calculations within the LDA approximations. Particularly, we have focused on the structural and the pressure dependence of elastic moduli and related quantities. The other basic key properties, such as the lattice constant, cohesive energy, the phase transition pressure, bulk modulus and its pressure derivative are also repeated and compared with the other available experimental and theoretical works.
