Abstract

A theoretical procedure is presented for the study of the elastic constants of ternary alloy GaxIn1−xSb. The calculations are based on the pseudopotential formalism in which local potential coupled with the virtual crystal approximation (VCA) is applied to evaluate elastic constants C11, C12, C44 and bulk modulus for the entire range of the alloy composition x of the ternary alloy GaxIn1−xSb. The effect of compositional disorder is included. The present results due to our promising model potential agree satisfactorily with available experimental and other such data confirming the application.
