Abstract

We have performed band structure calculations of high-pressure phases of sulfur within the local density-functional formalism and the norm-conserving pseudopotential method to investigate the structural stability. This paper mainly deals with a β-Po type rhombohedral phase of sulfur, and we discuss the instability of the rhombohedral structure and a new structural model with decreasing pressure.
