The transition phase of CdO from NaCl‐type ( B 1) structure to CsCl‐type ( B 2) structure is investigated by ab initio plane‐wave pseudopotential density‐functional theory, and the thermodynamic properties of the B 1 and B 2 structures under high pressure and temperature are obtained through the quasiharmonic Debye model. The transition phase from B 1 structure to B 2 structure occurs at a pressure of 83.1 GPa, which agrees well with other calculated values. Moreover, the relationship of the relative volume V / V 0 , and the Debye temperature Θ and the heat capacity C V with the pressure P and temperature T are also successfully obtained.
