摘要
We present first-principles calculations within the pseudo-potential plane wave method in the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalised gradient approximation so as to study the structural properties of BaX (X=S, Se and Te) in both NaCl and CsCl structures. The elastic, vibrational properties and lattice dynamics are calculated with the LDA and the density functional perturbation theory. The pressure dependence of the structural, vibrational and lattice dynamics has been investigated by varying the volume. A good agreement is obtained between our calculation and the available experimental and theoretical data.
