Abstract
Phonon modes of IV–VI semiconductor crystals with the orthorhombic structure of the crystal lattice have been calculated from first principles using the linear response method. The calculations are compared with the results of theoretical calculations available in the literature for some of the crystals and with the experimental data obtained by IR and Raman spectroscopies. Equilibrium lattice parameters and phonon spectra are calculated for all the crystals.
