The exact MT orbitals (EMTO) method is described, and its applicability for modelling of thermodynamical and mechanical properties of pure components of Ti- and Zr-based alloys is investigated. Calculations of the total energies of Ti, Zr, Nb, V, Mo, and Al in face-centred cubic (f.c.c.), body-centred cubic (b.c.c.) and hexagonal close-packed (h.c.p.) crystal structures are carried out. Theoretical values of lattice parameters, elastic moduli, and equations of state are computed. In all cases, the EMTO calculations predict the correct ground-state structure of the studied constituents. For the stable structures, we compare the results of our EMTO calculations with experimental data and with the results of full-potential calculations.

Keywords: first principle calculation of electronic structure, stability of crystal structure, elastic constants, Ti, Zr, Nb, V, Mo, Al.
