We report on our results obtained on the physical properties of BxInyGa[Formula: see text]N quaternary alloys in the zinc-blende phase that are thoroughly considered by the linearized augmented plane wave method, with a full potential within density functional theory, for different concentrations [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as employed in the Wien2k code. We calculated the structural properties, including lattice constant [Formula: see text] and the bulk modulus [Formula: see text]. We computed as well the band structures, the dielectric constant and the refractive index of our quaternary alloys compounds. Finally, nonlinear dependence on the compositions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are investigated in-depth and still expecting for experimental confirmations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first theoretical investigation of BxInyGa[Formula: see text]N alloy conducted to date.

Thermodynamic data for the substitution of silicon and manganese in cementite have been estimated using first-principles methods in order to aid the design of steels where it is necessary to control the precipitation of this phase. The need for the calculations arises from the fact that for silicon the data cannot be measured experimentally; manganese is included in the analysis to allow a comparison with its known behaviour. The calculations for Fe3C, (Fe11Si4c)C4, (Fe11Si8d)C4, (Fe11Mn4c)C4 and (Fe11Mn8d)C4 are based on the total energy all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method within the generalized gradient approximation to density functional theory. The output includes the ground state lattice constants, atomic positions and bulk moduli. It is found that (Fe11Si4c)C4 and (Fe11Si8d)C4 have about 52 and 37 kJ greater formation energy when compared with a mole of unit cells of pure cementite, whereas the corresponding energy for (Fe11Mn4c)C4 and (Fe11Mn8d)C4 is less by about 5 kJ mol1. These results for manganese match closely with published trends and data; a similar comparison is not possible for silicon but we correctly predict that the solubility in cementite should be minimal.

The full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) is employed to investigate the structural, magnetic, electronic and optical properties of Ti -doped ZnTe and CdTe in the zinc blende phase. In this approach the local spin density approximation (LSDA) is used for the exchange-correlation (XC) potential. Results are provided for the lattice constant, bulk modulus, pressure derivative, magnetic moment, band structure, density of states and refractive indices. Our results are compared with other theoretical works and good agreement is shown.

The structural, electronic and optical  properties of Sb2S3 have been investigated  using full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method within density functional theory (DFT) framework, treating exchange-correlation potential with Engel-Vosko generalized gradient approximation (EV-GGA). Electronic properties calculations were performed  with and without taken into account the effects of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) . From our results we found that structural properties,density of states and band structure are in good agreement with experimental results.The effects of SOC and relativistic on electronic properties were found to be negligible. However, optical properties, namely, imaginary and real parts of dielectric function, reflectivity, absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient and energy loss function were calculated and analyized.Optical gap of 1.61 eV proves that Sb2S3 metal chalcogenides is a promising material for solar cell device.

Co2MnGa alloy was prepared by the conventional arc-melting method. The optical conductivity (OC) spectrum of the alloy was measured by a rotating-analyzer spectroscopic ellipsometer. The OC spectrum was also calculated based on the electronic structure by using the full-potential linearized-augmented-plane-wave method within the local-spin-density approximation to the density-functional theory. The calculated OC spectrum does not agree well with the experimental one. Since the Co2MnGa alloy could be a strongly-correlated material, the so-called 'LDA+U' method was applied with U = 5.4 eV. The calculated OC spectrum using the 'LDA+U' method agrees very well with the experimental one. The inclusion of the onsite Coulombpotential during the self-consistent calculation significantly modifies the minorityspin Co and Mn 3d bands, resulting in a contraction of the energy gaps between states which are strongly involved in interband absorption peaks.
