The bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and Poisson’s ratio were estimated according to Hooke’s law and the Voigt-Reuss-Hill (VRH) model [25 – 26]. For hexagonal polycrystalline crystal:

  • B=[2(C11+C12)+4C13+C33]/9,
  • G=(C11+C12+2C33−4C13+12C44+12C66)/30,
  • E=9BG/(3B+G),
  • ν=(3B−2G)/2(3B+G),

The Vickers hardness (HV) was calculated according to the empirical formula [19]:

  • HV= 2(K^2G)0.585−3,
  • K=G/B.

The values of universal anisotropy factor (A^U) and anisotropy factor of shear modulus (A^G), which are associated with plastic deformation, have been calculated in agreement with [17, 27] and shown below:

* A^U=5(GV/GR)+(BV/BR)−6≥0
* A^G=(GV−GR)/(GV+GR),

where BV (BR) and GV (GR) are bulk and shear moduli in Voigt [28] (Reuss [29]) approximation, respectively
