The elastic properties arerepresented using second-order elastic constants. The electronic band structurecalculations are obtained with partial density of states. Optical properties ofHH-LiScPb semiconductor are also investigated and related parameters such asrefraction index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity and loss function aredetermined using dielectric functions in this study. Phonon calculations havebeen taken into account to evaluate the stability of half-Heusler (HH) LiScPbsemiconductor. Also, the system's free energy, entropy and heat capacity wereinvestigated under increasing temperature values. CR - [1] F. Casper, T. Graf, S. Chadov, B. Balke and C. Felser. Semicond. Sci.
