Abstract Using ab initio plane-wave pseudo-potential density functional theory method, the elastic constants and band structures of stishovite were calculated. The calculated elastic constants under ambient conditions agree well with previous experimental and theoretical data. C13, C33, C44, and C66 increase nearly linearly with pressure while C11 and C12 show irregularly changes with pressure over 20 GPa. The shear modulus (C11-C12)/2 was observed to decrease drastically between 40 GPa and 50 GPa, indicating acoustic mode softening in consistency with the phase transition to CaCl2-type structure around 50 GPa. The calculated band structures show no obvious difference at 0 and 80 GPa, being consistent with the high incompressibility of stishovite. With a quasi-harmonic Debye model, thermodynamic properties of stishovite were also calculated and the results are in good agreement with available experimental data.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
