Abstract

The result of first-principles density functional calculations of the bulk modulus and related structural and electronic properties of the total 25 group III-V binary phases with zinc-blende and wurtzite structures are presented. The behavior of energy band structure variation under high pressures is also studied. It is found that the bulk modulus is more sensitive to the local atom configuration than the lattice structure. The crystallographic geometry plays an important role in the electronic property of these phases.
