ABSTRACTElectronic band structures, equilibrium lattice constants and structural parameters, cohesive energies, and bulk moduli calculated by means of the linear-muffin-tin orbital method are presented for BeSiN2, MgSiN2 and MgSiP2 chalcopyrites. The relationships of these compounds to the “parent” III-V compounds are clarified.

ABSTRACTWide bandgap III-V nitrides, such as GaN and AlN, have become topical in the near-term technology of blue lasers. We report detailed electronic band-structure calculations for (AlN)m(GaN)n [001] zinc-blende superlattices (SL), with m + n ≤ 12, using the all-electron full-potential linear-muffin-tin-orbital method. For n ≥ 3, the SL are found to have a direct band gap. For n ≤ 2 and m ≥ 3, all the band gaps are indirect. In ultrathin SL, m ≤ 3 and n ≤ 2, only (m, n)= (3,1) is found to have an indirect gap. The band offsets are estimated by calculating the core-level shifts of nitrogen atoms in the central planes of the GaN and A1N layers. The calculated densities of states, electron- and hole- effective masses (m), etc., as a function of m and n, are reported; a remarkable dependence of m on the number of layers is revealed.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the electronic structure of interstitial Li and Li vacancy in Li7P3S11 by first principles calculations. We find that Li7P3S11 is a good insulator with a wide band gap of 3.5 eV. We find that the Li vacancy and interstitial Li+ ion do not introduce states in the band gap hence they do not deteriorate the electronic properties of Li7P3S11. The calculated formation energies of Li vacancies are much larger than those of Li interstitials, indicating that the ion conductivity may arise from the migration of interstitial Li.
