Abstract:To evaluate the structural, optical & electrical properties of the zinc chalcogenides (ZnO, ZnS, ZnSe & ZnTe), the Full Potential Linearized -Augumented Plane Wave plus Local Orbits (FP -LAPW+lo) method. For the purpose of exchange-correlation energy (E xc ) determination in Kohn-Sham calculation, the standard local density approximation (LDA) formalism has been utilized. Murnaghan's equation of state (EOS) has been used for volume optimization by minimizing the total energy with respect to the unit cell volume. With the result of electronic density of states (DOS), the structural, optical and electrical properties of Zinc chalcogenides have been calculated. The second derivative of energy, as a function of lattice strain has been successfully used to estimate the elastic constants of these binary compounds. The results are in good agreement with other theoretical calculations as well as available experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
