| Abstract: | The structural and elastic properties of thorium chalcogenides at high pressure, have been investigated using a suitable inter-ionic potential. The calculated equation of state, phase transition pressures for B1-B2 transition and bulk moduli for ThX (X=S,Se,Te) compounds agree well with the experimental results. ThTe, which crystallizes in the CsCl structure, does not show any structural transition up to 48 GPa. The present analysis does not show any anomalous features in elastic properties arising from ‘f’ electrons. |
