Abstract
We report temperature dependent elastic constants (TDECs) and thermodynamic properties of B19 TiZr Shape Memory Alloy (SMAs) computed by Quasi-static approximations (QSA) as implemented in thermo_pw code. B19 TiZr is mechanically and dynamically stable at zero pressure with lattice parameter of 3.110 Å and 1.578 for a and the ratio a/c respectively. The first-principles calculations were performed within quantum ESPRESSO code.
