The purpose of this work is an exploration of new materials which show ferroelectric behavior. We have analyzed the structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of ternary inter-alkali chalcogenide compounds KNaY (Y = S, Se and Te) using the first principal calculations. The atomic positions and structural parameters are in agreement with other studies. The elastic parameters designate that these compounds have a fragile behavior on the other hand. The electronic band structure calculations suggest that these compounds are semiconductors with a direct energy band gap and anionic character, in agreement with literature data. The optical properties show that these compounds can be a good candidate for optoelectronic devices.
