Abstract
The elastic and thermodynamic of zincblende CdSe nano crystals have been investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). The type of CdSe structure was optimized from the experimental parameter values. The mechanic characterization was determined based on the computed values of independent elastic constants C11, C12, and C44. The temperature dependence of a series of thermodynamic properties functions such as free energy, entropy, enthalpy, and heat capacity are calculated and analyzed in detail.
