ABSTRACTWe perform self-consistent density functional calculations on semiconductor heterojunctions, using ab initio nonlocal pseudopotentials, and derive valence band discontinuities for many different lattice matched interfaces. Spin-orbit effects are included a posteriori. A comparison is made with previous calculations, which used empirical pseudopotentials, and with other heterojunction theories. We find reasonable agreement with reported experimental values, and derive some important conclusions about the nature of the lineups.

Ab initio and density functional calculations are used to analyze the interaction between a molecule of fulminic acid with one, two, three, and four molecules of ammonia along with a 2:2 complex at B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) and MP2/6-311++G(d, p) computational levels. Cooperative effect (CE) in terms of stabilization energy of clusters is calculated and discussed as well. For the studied clusters, the CE is increased with increasing cluster size. Red shifts of H – C stretching frequency for complexes involving HCNO as H -donor are predicted. Atom in molecules is used to analyze the cooperative effect on topological parameters.

Ab initio and density functional calculations are used to analyze the interaction between a molecule of isofulminic acid with 1–4 molecules of water at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and MP2/6-311++G(d,p) computational levels. Cooperative effect (CE) is increased with increasing size of studied clusters. Red shifts of H – O stretching frequency for complexes involving HONC as H -donor are predicted. Atom in molecules is used to analyse CE on topological parameters. Effect of molecular structure on hydrogen bond (HB) formation could be deduced from comparison of HONC – H 2 O and HCNO – H 2 O clusters, former system have more stable HB clusters.

The self-consistent scalar relativistic band structure for AgGaX 2 (X = S, Se, Te) performed in chalcopyrite structure using the TBLMTO method at various pressures are reported here. Empty spheres were introduced in the calculations as the chalcopyrite structure is loosely packed. From the total energy calculations, the equilibrium lattice constant and the bulk modulus at zero pressure were calculated and these values agree well with the reported experimental values. All these compounds are found to have direct energy gap at ambient pressure with the gap widening with increased pressures which are in agreement with the experimental results. The deformation potential, dE g /dP for the compounds are also reported here. The metallisation volumes are calculated and the possibility of observing superconductivity in these compounds is discussed.
