Abstract

The structural parameter, elastic anisotropy, and thermal properties of cubic MgIn₂S₄ under pressures is examined using first principles techniques. The determined lattice constant exhibits a high level of concurrence with the values reported in existing literature. Based on the mechanical characteristics, there is an observed enhancement in both ductility and anisotropy of MgIn₂S₄ under increased pressure. The investigation focuses on the thermal characteristics, encompassing the impact of temperature and pressure on key parameters such as Debye temperature, Grüneisen constant et al.
