Abstract

We have investigated the pressure induced phase transition of InP from ZB to NaCl structure associated by using realistic interaction potential model (RIPM), which is modified by taking effect of temperature. This model consists of coulomb interaction, three body interaction, and short range overlap repulsive interaction up to second nearest neighbour. Phase transition pressure is associated with a sudden collapse in volume showing the incidence of first order phase transition. The phase transition pressure and associated volume collapses obtained from present model show a generally good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.
