Abstract

We report a periodic density functional study into the tetrahedral distortion of a range of quartz-like TX2 materials. The total tetrahedral distortion and its most sizable contribution, the angular part (angular tetrahedral distortion), are found to be strongly dependent on the chemical composition and to increase in the order of BeF2
