摘要: Abstract The structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermal properties of orthorhombic Li 2 CdGeS 4 have been performed by the first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method. calculated structural parameters elastic constants at zero pressure temperature are in good agreement with available theoretical result. dependence C ij , aggregate modulus B G anisotropies under investigated. By stability criteria, it is predicted that not stable above 8.6 GPa. electronic band structures studied. It found a direct gap induced G–G transition presented, which 2.421 eV (LDA). Moreover, energy (G–G) transforms to indirect (along G–X point) about 4 GPa. refractive absorption indexes suggest strong spectrum appears mostly ultra-violet region, decreases photon high range. Finally, using quasi-harmonic Debye model, heat capacity Gruneisen parameter also obtained successfully.
