The structural,mechanical,elastic anisotropic,and electronic properties of the monoclinic phase of m-Si_3N_4,mSi_2GeN_4,m-SiGe_2N_4,and m-Ge_3N_4are systematically investigated in this work.The calculated results of lattice parameters,elastic constants and elastic moduli of m-Si_3N_4and m-Ge_3N_4are in good agreement with previous theoretical results.Using the Voigt–Reuss–Hill method,elastic properties such as bulk modulus B and shear modulus G are investigated.The calculated ratio of B/G and Poisson’s ratio v show that only m-SiGe_2N_4should belong to a ductile material in nature.In addition,m-SiGe_2N_4possesses the largest anisotropic shear modulus,Young’s modulus,Poisson’s ratio,and percentage of elastic anisotropies for bulk modulus ABand shear modulus AG,and universal anisotropic index AUamong m-Si_xGe_(3-x)N_4(x=0,1,2,3.)The results of electronic band gap reveal that m-Si_3N_4,m-Si_2GeN_4,m-SiGe_2N_4,and m-Ge_3N_4 are all direct and wide band gap semiconducting materials.
