Abstract
Using first-principles pseudopotential calculations within the framework, we calculate the elastic constants of orthorhombic olivine and . Our results show that olivine is anisotropic and that directional bulk moduli change significantly during lithiation. is predicted to be harder and to exhibit a higher Debye temperature than .
