Abstract
Information about the structure and properties of materials is especially important when working with micro-and nanoscale objects due to the high complexity of their obtaining. This makes it relevant to use computer modeling to predict the required characteristics of materials. Electronic, magnetic, mechanical, and other properties of crystalline substances are determined by their structure-the periodicity of the lattice and the symmetry of the unit cell. This article discusses metal oxides with the general chemical formulas MeO (metals: Ca, Cd, Mg), MeO2 (metals: Hf, Ce, Zr), Me2O3 (metals: Er, Nd, Sc, Mn, Tl) and Me3O4 (using Fe as an example) and a cubic symmetry type crystal lattice — structural types NaCl (rock salt), Fluorite, Bixbyite, Spinel accordingly. The paper describes the model of ion-atomic radii, which is widely used in the modeling of crystalline metal oxides. The application of the annealing simulation algorithm for calculating the metric parameters of the compounds under consideration is shown. The software implementation of the algorithm presented in this paper allows us to determine the coordinates of the atoms that are included in the elementary cell of the crystal lattice, calculate the lattice constant and the density of the packing of atoms in the crystal cell using the specified chemical formula and the space group symmetry. These structural characteristics can be used as input parameters for determining electronic, magnetic, and other properties. The article compares the values of lattice constants obtained as a result of modeling with experimental data.
