AbstractThe electronic structure, geometry and energetics of Ga vacancy pairs and N vacancy pairs in both wurtzite and zincblende GaN are investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using an empirical tight-binding (TB) model with total energy capabilities and supercells containing up to 216 atoms. Our calculations suggest that, by pairing, N vacancies, which in isolation act as shallow donors, can lower their collective formation energy by about 5 eV. In doing so, however, these N vacancies lose their shallow-donor character as the lattice relaxes in response to this aggregation. Contrasting with the N vacancies, the Ga vacancies are found to retain their isolated shallow acceptor behavior and do not gain significant energy upon aggregation. The possible implications for larger aggregate defects are discussed.

Structure Of Carbon Nanotubes

Electronic structure of carbon nanotubes with cap and that of the helically coiled nanotubes are studied by the simple tight-binding models. The method of the development map is used for a systematic study of the electronic states. Several remarkable features of these cage structures are found and the relation to the topological disorders due to the disclination centers is discussed, which are inherent to the curved graphitic layer.

ABSTRACTTight-binding total energy computations are used to examine the chemical bonding and electronic structure for two new minimum-energy surface atomic structures for p(lxl) overlayers of Sb on III-V(110) surfaces. The bonding in each of these structures is unique, having no analog in either the bulk or small molecule coordination chemistry of these materials, and is a phenomenon uniquely associated with the constrained epitaxical growth of the Sb overlayer.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure and energetics of LaNi5, its hydrogen solution (α-La2Ni10H) and its hydride (β-La2Ni10H14) were investigated by means of the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbitals method within the atomic sphere approximation (TB-LMTO-ASA). Preferred site occupancy by the absorbed hydrogen atoms was investigated in terms of the charge density of the interstitial sites and the total energy, both of which indicate that the 6m site in the P6/mmm symmetry is the most preferred. A negative heat of formation of La2Ni10H14 was obtained from the total energy calculations.

ABSTRACTBy fitting orthogonal tight binding parameters to the ab inlio bands of Calciumfluorite FeSi2 (γ-phase) and Cesiumcloride FeSi, we calculate the electronic structure (bands and density of states) and the total-energy of the semiconductive, orthorombic β-phase and the disordered, cubic one. The latter, the γ and the β nfigurations, have been recently observed at different annealing temperatures in thin films grown on Si (111) by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. The transferability of our method among different phases allows for a comparison of the cohesive energy curves which, in turn, supplies an interpretation of the relative stability and the growth kinetics.
