摘要: This paper studies the equilibrium structure parameters and the dependences of the elastic properties on pressure for rutile TiO$_{2}$ by using the Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP) program in the frame of density functional theory. The obtained equilibrium structure parameters, bulk modulus $B_{0}$ and its pressure derivative $B'_{0}$ are in good agreement with experiments and the theoretical results. The six independent elastic constants of rutile TiO$_{2}$ under pressure are theoretically investigated for the first time. It is found that, as pressure increases, the elastic constants $C_{11}$,$ C_{33}$, $C_{66}$, $C_{12}$ and $C_{13}$ increase, the variation of elastic constant $C_{44}$ is not obvious and the anisotropy will weaken.
