Structural, electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of the SrTe$_{1−x}$O$_x$ alloys ($0 ≤ x ≤ 1$) in rock-salt phase are calculated using the full potential-linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within density functional theory. The exchange-correlation potential for structural properties was calculated by the standard local density approximation (LDA) and GGA (PBE) and the new form of GGA (WC) which is an improved form of the most popular Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE), while for electronic properties, in addition to LDA, GGA corrections; Engel–Vosko GGA (EV-GGA) and modified Becke–Johnson (mBJ) schemes were also applied. The results show that the use of GGA (WC) in our calculations is more appropriate than GGA and LDA and gives a good description of structural properties such as lattice parameters and bulk modulus. Our investigation on the effect of composition on lattice constant, bulk modulus and band gap for ternary alloys shows almost nonlinear dependence on the composition. In addition to FP-LAPW method, the composition dependence of the refractive index and the dielectric constant was studied by different models. On the other hand, the thermodynamic stability of this alloy was investigated by calculating the excess enthalpy of mixing $\Delta H_m$ as well as the phase diagram.

In this work, the first-principles computational study on the structural, elastic, electronic and optical propertiesof Y$_x$Ga$_{1−x}$As as a function of yttrium concentration ($x$) is presented. The computations are performed using the fullpotential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital method designed within density functional theory. Firstly,we performed our calculations on the most stable phases, NaCl and zinc blende, then their transition pressure for eachconcentration is determined and analysed. Our computed results for the zero yttrium concentration are found consistentwith the available experimental measurements as well as with theoretical predictions. Moreover, the dependencies of theseparameters upon yttrium concentration ($x$) were found to be non-linear.We also report computed results on electronic-bandstructure, electronic energy band gap results and density of states. A systematic study on optical properties to analyse itsoptoelectronic character and elastic properties is presented.
