A set of software tools for the determination of the band structure of zinc-blende, wurtzite, 4H, and 6H semiconductors is presented. A state of the art implementation of the nonlocal empirical pseudopotential method has been coupled with a robust simplex algorithm for the optimization of the adjustable parameters of the model potentials. This computational core has been integrated with an array of Matlab functions, providing interactive functionalities for defining the initial guess of the atomic pseudopotentials, checking the convergence of the optimization process, plotting the resulting band structure, and computing detailed information about any local minimum. The results obtained for wurtzite-phase III-nitrides (ALN, GaN, InN) are presented as a relevant case study.

ABSTRACTOur research on ternary / quaternary chalcogenides for thermoelectric applications has lead to the identification of new interesting compounds and better understanding of the chemistry and physical properties of complex chalcogenides. The chemical, geometric, electronic diversity and flexibility has been well demonstrated in BaBiSe3 and Sr4Bi6Se13 type compounds. This presents both a challenge and more opportunity in controlling and optimizing the thermoelectric properties of these complex chalcogenides, compared with elemental and binary compounds. The importance of multivalley band structure in thermoelectric materials is emphasized. Only compounds with high crystal symmetry have the possibility of having a large number of degenerate valleys in the conduction bands or peaks in the valence bands, respectively. However, most of the complex chalcogenides crystallize in low crystal symmetry. An Edisonian method of exploratory synthesis and characterization may be the working approach to find good thermoelectric materials with ZT higher than 4.

AbstractType-I indirect-gap heterostructures are convenient objects for studying the spin dynamics of localized excitons, which are difficult to investigate in heterostructures of other types. It is shown that structures with such an energy spectrum can be formed from III–V binary compounds on substrates with the (110) orientation. The effect of the strain distribution and conduction-band structure in quasimomentum space on the energy spectrum of electronic states in the heterostructures is discussed.
