Abstract
A combined high pressure and temperature investigation on recently reported cubic perovskite PbMoO3 have been performed within the most accurate density functional theory (DFT). The structure was found stable in cubic paramagnetic phase. The DFT calculated analytical and experimental lattice constant were found in good agreement. The analytical tolerance factor as well as the elastic properties further verifies the cubic stability for PbMoO3. The spin polarized electronic band structure and density of states presented metallic nature with symmetry in up and down states. The insignificant magnetic moment also confirms the paramagnetic nature for the compound. The high pressure elastic and mechanical study up to 35 GPa reveal the structural stability of the material in this pressure range. The compound was found to establish a ductile nature. The electrical conductivity obtained from the band structure results show a decreasing trend with increasing temperature. The temperature dependence of thermodynamic parameters such as specific heat (C v), thermal expansion (α) has also been evaluated.
