On the basis of ab initio first principles and using the Minimal Hopping Algorithm we predict the crystal structure of non synthesized LiYZ (Y=Au,Ag, Z=Te,Se) based ternary compounds. We find that, as distinct from expectation, the crystal structure depends strongly on the composition, thus every compound belongs to a different symmetry group and has complexly different electronic properties. We will analyze the fundamental physics below these features considering the calculated ground state structure.
