AbstractWe present a highly accurate tight-binding parametrization of the LAPW band structure of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, discuss the methodology used in obtaining this fit, and its potential application to a Tight-Binding Coherent-Potential Approximation (TB-CPA) calculation of the effects of oxygen vacancies on the electronic structure.

ABSTRACTWe have fit our first principles LAPW band structure results for the high Tc superconductor La2CuO4 to a tight-binding Hamiltonian that contains s, p, and d interactions from the three components of these materials. Our fit reproduces very accurately the 17 lower bands of this material and especially the Fermi surface.

Recently, the structural stability of the high temperature structural intermetallic Ti 3 Al has been investigated experimentally and a transition from the DO 19 to the DO 24 structure has been reported. We have performed band structure calculations as a function of reduced volume by tight binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TBLMTO) method to look into these transitions to understand their mechanisms in terms of its electronic structure. The mechanism of the DO 19 to the DO 24 structure is understood to be due to shifting of the Fermi energy into a valley in the density of states curve, thereby driving the system to a more stable structure.

X-ray photoelectron spectra of TiO2:Fe are measured. Electronic structure and magnetic properties of rutile doped by iron are calculated in frames of the coherent potential approximation. The main experimental spectral features of TiO2:Fe such as heterovalent cation substitution (Fe3+→Ti4+), decreasing of the band gap value and appearance of additional features at the bottom and top of X-ray photoelectron spectra of valence band in comparison with those for undoped TiO2 are described.
