Item Open Access First principles prediction of the elastic, electronic, and optical properties of Sb 2S 3 and Sb 2Se 3 compounds(2012) Koc H.; Mamedov, A.M.; Deligoz, E.; Ozisik H.We have performed a first principles study of structural, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties of orthorhombic Sb 2S 3 and Sb 2Se 3 compounds using the density functional theory within the local density approximation. The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, and its pressure derivatives of these compounds have been obtained. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities, Debye temperature, and hardness have also been estimated in the present work. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the energy-loss function, the effective number of valence electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant are calculated. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. © 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The in-plane stiffness and Poisson’s ratio values are found to be smaller than those of graphene, and its yielding strain decreases in the presence of various vacancy defects and also at high ambient temperature. We also found that the band gap can be strongly modified by applied strain in the elastic range.Item Open Access Structural, elastic, and electronic properties of topological insulators: Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3(IEEE, 2013) Koc H.; Mamedov, Amirullah M.; Özbay, EkmelWe have performed a first principles study of structural, elastic, and electronic properties of rhombohedral Sb2Te3 and Bi 2Te3 compounds using the density functional theory within the local density approximation. The lattice parameters of considered compounds have been calculated. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities, and Debye temperature have also been estimated in the present work. The calculated electronic band structure shows that Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te 3 compounds have a direct forbidden band gap. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. © 2013 IEEE.
