ملخص: A three-body potential coupled with a molecular-dynamics method is used to calculate structural and thermodynamic properties of the hypothetical IV-IV compound SiGe in zinc-blende phase. A good agreement between the calculated and theoretical values of the lattice constant, the bulk modulus and its derivative, and the cohesive energy is obtained. We also compute the elastic constants, Debye temperature, lattice thermal expansion, and the specific heat. We investigate also, the structural properties of SiGe when rock-salt phase appears.
