Abstract
The physical properties of CdS is calculated by using the first principles pseudopotential plane wave method based on density functional theory (DFT). The calculated lattice parameters and elastic constants agree well with other theoretical values, and the crystal is determined to be structurally stable by the Born mechanical stability condition. The Debye temperature, Grüneisen parameters, heat capacity and thermal expansion coefficient of CdS under high temperature and high pressure were studied successfully by using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The influence of pressure on thermal expansion coefficient and Debye temperature is greater than that of temperature. The heat capacity decreases with the increase of pressure. At high temperature and high pressure, the heat capacity approaches the Dulong-Petit limit.
期刊介绍:
Chalcogenide Letters (CHL) has the aim to publish rapidly papers in chalcogenide field of research and
appears with twelve issues per year. The journal is open to letters, short communications and breakings news
inserted as Short Notes, in the field of chalcogenide materials either amorphous or crystalline. Short papers in
structure, properties and applications, as well as those covering special properties in nano-structured
chalcogenides are admitted.
