A. Nishikawa et al., STRUCTURAL STABILITY OF THE GROUP-VIB ELEMENTS UNDER HIGH-PRESSURE, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 198(1), 1996, pp. 475-480
We have performed band structure calculations of a high-pressure phase
of the group-VIb elements within tile local density-functional formal
ism and the norm-conserving pseudopotential method to investigate the
structural stability. This paper mainly deals with the beta-Po type rh
ombohedral phase of sulphur, and we discuss the effect of the rhombohe
dral distortion on the electronic structure.
