Abstract
⺠We predict the thermal equation of state of tungsten carbide from first-principles. ⺠Electronic free energy anisotropy also determines the equilibrium shape of WC. ⺠Anisotropic compressibility and isotropic thermal expansivity coexist in WC. ⺠Mie-Grüneisen-Debye formalism is not of sufficient accuracy for WC. ⺠Metallic W-W bonding also plays an important role in WC.
