Abstract The pressure induced phase transitions of RuB2 from the OsB2-type structure to the ReB2-type structure are investigated by first-principles calculations based on the plane-wave basis set with the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation. It is found that the phase transition occurs at 18.6GPa. We predict the phase transition from the OsB2-type RuB2 to the ReB2-type RuB2 at high temperatures for the first time. The dependences of the heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, and the Grüneisen parameter on pressure and temperature for OsB2-type RuB2 and ReB2-type RuB2 are also investigated.
