Abstract

A new parametrization for the previous empirical interatomic potential for indium antimonite is presented. This alternative parametrization is designed to correct the energetic sequence of structures. The effective empirical interatomic potential proposed consists of two and three body interactions which has the same functional form of the interatomic potential proposed by Vashishta et. al. to study other semiconductors (Branicio et al., 2003; Ebbsjo et al., 2000; Shimojo et al., 2000; Vashishta et al., 2008). Molecular dynamics simulations (MD) are performed to study high pressure phases of InSb up to 70 GPa and its thermal conductivity as a function of temperature. The rock-salt to cesium chloride, expected to occur at high pressures, is observed with the proposed interatomic potential.
