Trap-recharging waves versus damped,forced charge-density oscillations in hexagonal silicon carbide

The structural parameters and hydrostatic pressure coefficients of CdS_xTe_1-x in the two phases, namely zinc-blende and NaCl as well as the transition pressures from zinc-blende to NaCl structures at various S concentrations are presented. The calculations are performed using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT) in the local density approximation (LDA), and two developed refinements, namely the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of Perdew et al. for the structural properties and Engel-Vosko for the band structure calculations. Detailed comparisons are made with published experimental and theoretical data and show generally good agreement. The present results regarding the studied quantities for compositions x in the 0–1 range (0 < x < 1) and for the NaCl phase are predictions and may serve as a reference for experimental work.     

Structural, electronic and optical properties of high pressure stable phases of ZnTe

We have performed full potential linear augmented plane wave calculations to investigate the pressure induced phase transition in ZnTe. Total energies of three phases (zinc-blende, cinnabar and Cmcm) are calculated using density functional theory formalism under generalized gradient approximation and Engel-Vosko generalized gradient approximation for the exchange correlation potential approximation. The pressure stability corresponding to zinc-blende, cinnabar and Cmcm phases of ZnTe are computed. We find that cinnabar phase could be formed as a metastable phase by releasing pressure from the high pressure Cmcm phase. The obtained structural, electronic and optical results are compared with previous calculations and available experimental data. Overall good agreement is found.

Bridge density functional approximation for non-uniform hard core repulsive Yukawa fluid

In this work, a bridge density functional approximation （BDFA） （J. Chem. Phys. 112, 8079 （2000）） for a nonuniform hard-sphere fluid is extended to a non-uniform hard-core repulsive Yukawa （HCRY） fluid. It is found that the choice of a bulk bridge functional approximation is crucial for both a uniform HCRY fluid and a non-uniform HCRY fluid. A new bridge functional approximation is proposed, which can accurately predict the radial distribution function of the bulk HCRY fluid. With the new bridge functional approximation and its associated bulk second order direct correlation function as input, the BDFA can be used to well calculate the density profile of the HCRY fluid subjected to the influence of varying external fields, and the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the corresponding simulation data. The calculated results indicate that the present BDFA captures quantitatively the phenomena such as the coexistence of solid-like high density phase and low density gas phase, and the adsorption properties of the HCRY fluid, which qualitatively differ from those of the fluids combining both hard-core repulsion and an attractive tail.

First-principles investigation of AlAs at high pressure

The total energy of AlAs as a function of the unit cell volume has been calculated for the zinc blende, nickel arsenide and rock salt structures using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method and the local density approximation for the exchange–correlation potential. AlAs is found to undergo a structural phase transition from ZnS type to NiAs type at 6.68 GPa, in good agreement with the experimental value of 7±5 GPa. The band structure, density of states and band gap pressure coefficients of the ZnS phase are also given. On the other hand, an accurate calculation of the linear optical functions (the refractive index and its pressure derivative, and both the imaginary and the real parts of the dielectric function) is performed for the photon energy range up to 11 eV. The results are compared with the few existing calculations and experimental measurements reported in the literature.     

Structural,electronic, and optical properties of ZnO_(1-x)Se_x alloys using first-principles calculations

The structural, electronic, and optical properties of binary ZnO, ZnSe compounds, and their ternary ZnO 1-x Se x alloys are computed using the accurate full potential linearized augmented plane wave plus local orbital (FP-LAPW + lo) method in the rocksalt (B1) and zincblende (B3) crystallographic phases. The electronic band structures, fundamental energy band gaps, and densities of states for ZnO 1-x Se x are evaluated in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 using Wu-Cohen (WC) generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation potential. Our calculated results of lattice parameters and bulk modulus reveal a nonlinear variation for pseudo-binary and their ternary alloys in both phases and show a considerable deviation from Vegard's law. It is observed that the predicted lattice parameter and bulk modulus are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. We establish that the composition dependence of band gap is semi-metallic in B1 phase, while a direct band gap is observed in B3 phase. The calculated density of states is described by taking into account the contribution of Zn 3d, O2p, and Se 4s, and the optical properties are studied in terms of dielectric functions, refractive index, reflectivity, and energy loss function for the B3 phase and are compared with the available experimental data.
