First-Principles Investigation of the Structural, Electronic, Vibrational, Elastic, and Piezoelectric Properties of Bulk InTe
摘要
This study investigates the structural, electronic, vibrational, and mechanical properties of cubic InTe using density functional theory and density functional perturbation theory. The results reveal the metallic character of cubic InTe, as indicated by its electronic structure and density of states. The dynamic stability of the material is confirmed by phonon dispersion analysis, with no imaginary frequencies observed. The Debye temperature (172.276 K) and melting temperature (1092.832 K) suggest excellent thermal resistance. A shear modulus of 18.20 GPa, Poisson’s ratio of 0.343, and Pugh’s ratio (
