The pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic variable that can be used to modification the properties of materials, because it reduces the interatomic distances, modifies the electronic orbitals and the connection patterns of the sample. Therefore, it is a versatile tool for the creation of exotic materials not accessible in environmental conditions. Recently, high pressure experimental techniques developed have led to the synthesis of new functional materials with excellent performance: for example, superconductors, super hard materials and high energy density materials. Some of these advances were aided and accelerated by computer simulations, an important tool for the search for crystalline structures and the characterization of physical properties. Thus, this work seeks to investigate the structural, electronic and mechanical properties of new Palladium based Sulfosalts under the influence of high pressure, through simulation by first principles methods using the Quantum Espresso, in order to determine its functionalities that can be useful in application the electronic devices.
