Abstract
Theoretical investigations of the electronic, optical and elastic properties of cadmium and zinc chalcogenides in the zinc-blende structure are performed using a pseudopotential formalism. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the available experimental data. Polynomial expressions are obtained for the electron effective mass and the static dielectric constant as a function of the fundamental energy band-gap. Relations of elastic constants ratio to the ionicity are also examined and discussed.
