The lattice parameters of considered compounds have been calculated. The second-order elastic constants have been calculated, and the other related quantities such as the Young's modulus, shear modulus, Poisson's ratio, anisotropy factor, sound velocities, and Debye temperature have also been estimated in the present work. The calculated electronic band structure shows that Sb2Te3 and Bi2Te3 compounds have a direct forbidden band gap. Our structural estimation and some other results are in agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessab initio calculationmechanical propertieselectronic structureConference Object4144N/AWOS:000336807100011N/A2-s2.0-84896370620
