Abstract: | In this work, the pressure induced phase transition of InAs is investigated by density functional theory. The first-order phase transition of InAs from zinc-blende (ZB) to the rocksalt (RS) structure occurs at 4.9 GPa accompanies by a 26% volume collapse. It is found that the nearest In and As atoms bonded as covalent bond, but there is no strong interaction between the nearest In–In or As–As atoms. Crystal space of ZB structure is occupied by tetrahedrons (4 In–As covalent bonds) partly with many interstice, and crystal space of RS is fulfilled by close-packed octahedrons (6 In–As covalent bonds). With increasing pressure, rebuild of covalent bond due to variations of electronic structure causes phase transition from ZB to RS structure. Furthermore, directional changes of covalent bond along 100] and 110] bring evident variation of shear on the {100} and {110} planes. |
