Description

The equilibrium and electronic properties of the cubic copper sulphide are investigated using the full-potential all electrons first principle density functional theory. Convincing equilibrium and electronic properties are obtained using the GGA-PBEsol type exchange-correlation functional. Equilibrium properties suggest the mechanical stability with elastic anisotropy. The electronic band structure and the density of states suggest the material to be semi-metallic with no energy bap.
