摘要
The structural phase transformations of ZnS, ZnSe and ZnTe under high pressure are studied by tight binding linear muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method. A simple cubic 16 (SC16) phase is observed in all three zinc chalcogenides ZnX (X=S, Se, Te) and the stability of the high pressure phases is also presented. In ZnS and ZnSe, the sequence of transformation is similar to zincblende (ZB)-->SC16-->rock salt (RS), but in ZnTe the transformation sequence is different, namely the SC16 phase is observed above the cinnabar phase. The ground state properties of the phases of zinc chalcogenides ZnX (X=S, Se, Te) are also calculated. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
