Popis: We investigate the structural phase transition, elastic constants and their related mechanical properties, stability and optical response of zinc-blende MnSe by the pseudopotential plane-wave method within the generalized gradient approximation using different parameterizations. At zero pressure, our findings show generally a reasonably good accord with available data reported in the literature. Nevertheless, in most cases, our results are predictions. The transition pressure from zinc-blende phase to NaCl phase is found to occur at pressure of 1 GPa. The mechanical stability criteria are fulfilled for all pressures being considered in the present work. All features of interest are affected by the presence of pressure leading to new physical properties of the material in question.
