Abstract

An eight-parameter bond-bending force model (BBFM), recently developed by us for zinc-blende (ZB) structure, has been used to study the lattice dynamics of other compounds of the II–VI and III–V groups. The model parameters were calculated using six critical point phonon frequencies, two elastic constants, and the lattice equilibrium condition. Phonon dispersion curves, phonon density of states, and Debye-characteristic temperatures have been calculated. The comparison of theoretical and the available experimental results reveals a fairly good agreement. The merits and demerits of the present model have been discussed in full.
