In the present study, ground state and elastic properties of semiconductor MgSe in zinc-blende phase are investigated using density functional theory (DFT). Exchange-correlation potentials are approximated with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). From the calculated bulk modulus, we determine the refractive index, plasmon energy, cohesive energy and micro-hardness of the MgSe semiconductor binary alloy. The density of state (DOS), projected density of state (PDOS), phonon dispersion frequencies, charged density, electronic band structure and dielectric functions are also reported. From the band structure, a direct band gap of 2.50 eV was observed in close agreement with other reported calculations, but lower than the experimental value of 3.60 eV. Along the high symmetries directions, we found a striking resemblance between MgSe and a III–V semiconductor, while the high cohesive energy in MgSe suggests filled bonding orbitals which might result in decrease in atomic volume with corresponding increased compression of the s-orbitals under any transition series.

We have performed density-functional perturbation calculation for zinc-blende AlN using the pseudopotential plane-wave method. The results obtained using both the local-density approximate (LDA) and the generalized-gradient approximate (GGA) for exchange-correlation functional are compared. The ground state properties and response function properties for zinc-blende AlN , including the electronic band structure, charge density, Born effective charge, dielectric constant and vibrational properties are reported. Our results are basically in agreement with experimental data and theoretical values available, but the bandgap is underestimated and the first optical mode in the phonon band structure is overestimated. This can be attributed to the underestimation of the lattice parameter and selection of the pseudopotential.
