Pressure induced elastic softening in framework aluminosilicate- albite (NaAlSi(3)O(8))

Albite (NaAlSi(3)O(8)) is an aluminosilicate mineral. Its crystal structure consists of 3-D framework of Al and Si tetrahedral units. We have used Density Functional Theory to investigate the high-pressure behavior of the crystal structure and how it affects the elasticity of albite. Our results ind...
