Abstract
In this paper, we present the expressions relating the inter atomic force constants like as bond-stretching force constant (α in N/m) and bond-bending force constant (β in N/m) for the binary (zinc blende structure) and ternary (chalcopyrite structure) semiconductors with the product of ionic charges (PIC) and crystal ionicity (fi). Interatomic force constants of these compounds exhibit a linear relationship; when plot a graph between Interatomic force constants and the nearest neighbor distance d (A) with crystal ionicity (fi), but fall on different straight lines according to the product of ionic charges of these compounds. A fairly good agreement has been found between the observed and calculated values of the α and β for binary and ternary tetrahedral semiconductors.
