First-principles calculations based on density functional theory are used to determine the structural, lattice dynamical, elastic, and thermodynamical properties of magnetic CuFeS2. The theoretical results are compared with available experimental data and are used as a basis to critically discuss existing discrepancies between theory and experiment as well as of inconsistencies between experimental data.
