The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. It is found that the zinc-blende structure BeS should be unstable above 60GPa. The thermodynamic properties of the zinc-blende structure BeS are predicted by using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The pressure-volume-temperature (P - V - T) relationship, the variations of the thermal expansion coefficient α and the heat capacity Cv with pressure P and temperature T, as well as the Gruneisen parameter-pressure-temperature (γ- P - T) relationship are obtained systematically in the ranges of 0-90GPa and 0-2000K.展开更多
