摘要: The full-potential linearized-augmented plane wave calculations based on density functional theory are performed to study the structural, electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of scandium chalcogenides ScX (X = S, Se, Te) their ternary alloys at equilibrium as well under pressure. revised Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation (GGA) is used calculate structural properties. electronic calculated employing GGA modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ) approaches. Moreover, lattice parameters agree with experiment results. structure NaCl-type (B1) undergoes pressure a phase transition CsCl-type (B2) ZnS-type (B3). binary indicate metallic behavior using mBJ scheme. interband contribution investigated by calculating dielectric e1(ω), e2(ω) index refraction n(ω). A quasi-harmonic Debye model applied thermal
