Abstract

In the present investigation the Zinc-Blende (ZnS) -Tetragonal (Intermediate Phase) -Rock-Salt (NaCl) phase transition pressure of Copper Iodide (CuI) has been predicted using an interionic potential theory. The calculated compression curves and values of different high-pressure properties for CuI are reported and compared with the available experimental values. The calculated values for the phase-transition pressures (Pt) and the associated volume collapses | V(Pt)/V(0)| are generally in good agreement with their measured data.
