The present work aims to study the dependence of the bulk modulus B and the Debye temperature θD with the effective cubic lattice constant aeff of some Cu2-II-IV-VI4 compounds. We are also studied the correlation between the bulk modulus B, the Debye temperature θD, the microhardness H and the melting point Tm.The fits of the data of the bulk modulus B and the Debye temperature θD versus the effective cubic lattice constant aeff show that B of Cu2-II-IV-VI4 semiconducting materials decreases almost linearly with increase of the effective cubic lattice constant aeff, while that of Debye Temperature θD decreases exponentially with a rising of the effective cubic lattice constant aeff. The coefficients of the correlation were found at around -0.78 for the bulk modulus B, and at around -0.94 for the Debye temperature, respectively.For the bulk modulus B, the best fit was obtained using the following expression: B = - 596.52 aeff + 393.4, where B is expressed in GPa, and aeff in nm, while that of θD is: θD = 165.46 + 3.8 exp (-57.2 aeff), respectively. The average error on the estimation of B was found at around 10%, while that on the estimation of θD is only around 4.5%, respectively. Our expressions perhaps used with high accurate to predict the bulk modulus B and the Debye temperature θD of other quaternary Cu2-II-IV-VI4 semiconducting materials.
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.
