Optical properties of strontium monochalcogenide compounds SrX ͑X = Se, Se, and Te͒ in NaCl crystal structure are calculated using the band structure results obtained through the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method. The exchange-correlation potential is treated by the generalized gradient approximation ͑GGA͒ within the scheme of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
