Abstract

Utilizing first-principles method, the structural and anisotropic characteristics of BaGa₄S₇ has been meticulously investigated. The determined lattice parameters and elastic moduli exhibit a high degree of correlation with previously documented data. Based on its mechanical properties, BaGa₄S₇ demonstrates ductility and anisotropy. The anisotropic properties can be examined through a range of metrics.
