Development of an Empirical Bulk Modulus Model of Ternary Chalcopyrite Structure Solids
From the electronegativities of the constituent atoms and the primary quantum number of the compounds, a simple empirical relationship has been presented to estimate the bulk modulus (B) of ternary chalcopyrite structure solids of type I-II-VI, II-IV-V. The current arrangement is based on a chemical bonding hypothesis. Electronegativity and...

Determining the Bulk Modulus and Microhardness of Tetrahedral Semiconductors
A universal empirical formula for determining bulk modulus (B) and microhardness (H) was discovered using electronegativity and main quantum number of II-VI, III-V semiconductors. The following are the values of constant C1, which appears in the formulation of bulk modulus, as well as constants C2 and C3, which appear...
