Abstract

Electronic band structures, equilibrium lattice constants and structural parameters, cohesive energies, and bulk moduli calculated by means of the linear-muffin-tin orbital method are presented for BeSiN2, MgSiN2 and MgSiP2 chalcopyrites. The relationships of these compounds to the “parent” III-V compounds are clarified.
