摘要
Recently an anomaly in the cia ratio for hcp Zn was observed as a function of hydrostatic compression [Takemura Kenichi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 1807 (1995)]. The anomaly is even more pronounced for the lattice parameter a in the hexagonal plane. By means of accurate first principles calculations we demonstrate that at a specific volume the distances between the atoms within the hexagonal planes of Zn actually increase when the volume is decreased. By an explicit separation of the various contributions from different volume segments of the Brillouin zone we conclude that the electronic states around the K point are those responsible for the observed anomaly.
