Abstract

Ab initio density functional theory is employed to investigate the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of the half-Heusler NaScSi alloy. The lattice constants are very near to the available theoretical data. In addition, besides the GGA approximation, the modified Becke-Johnson exchange potential is also used to improve the direct X -> X band gap value. Furthermore, the elastic constants and related elastic moduli confirm its stability and brittle behaviour in the type I structure. The influence of pressure on C-ij constants, bulk modulus B, Cauchy pressure, Poisson ratio nu, shear modulus, B/G ratio and anisotropy factor A are analysed. Additionally, the strong absorption is extended between the visible domain and that of the ultraviolet is predicted.
