摘要
We have carried out the first-principles total energy calculations to investigate the elastic properties of both the zinc-blende and rocksalt structures of InAs. We found the transition pressure and we report the elastic constants as a function of the hydrostatic pressure. Detailed comparisons with the available measured values and with the results obtained in previous theoretical studies reveal good agreement concerning some quantities and discrepancies for another.
