For reliable description of energy band gap values, another form of GGA developed by Engel and Vosko (GGA-EV) has been applied. The calculated structural properties, namely equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus and its first-order pressure derivative, are in good agreement with the available theoretical and experimental results. We have determined the full set of first-order elastic constants, shear modulus, Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and Debye temperature of these compounds. Band structures reveal that these compounds are direct energy band gap semiconductors.
