Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical trends in band offsets of Zn- and Mn-based II-VI superlattices: d-level pinning and offset compression.
Su-Huai Wei,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: All three effects have a simple and common physical origin and unlike the case for conventional common-anion II-VI superlattices, the mixed offset {Delta}{ital E}{sub {ital V}/Mn{ital X}) depends strongly on {ital X}.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonmonotonic size dependence of the dark/bright exciton splitting in GaAs nanocrystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used atomistic pseudopotential calculations to identify the origin of such non-monotonic behavior in a transition of the lowest conduction-band wave function from λ-like to X-like as the nanocrystal radius decreases below 19-angstrom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction and observation of II–VI/CuInSe2 heterojunction band offsets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that II-VI/CuInSe 2 heterojunctions have significant band offsets which challenge the traditional explanation of device operation, and that these large valence band offsets demonstrate the failure of the common anion rule.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co 3O 4-Co 2ZnO 4 spinels: The case for a solid solution
Nicola H. Perry,Thomas O. Mason,Chengcheng Ma,Alexandra Navrotsky,Yezhou Shi,Joanna S. Bettinger,Michael F. Toney,Tula R. Paudel,Stephan Lany,Alex Zunger +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predicted a complete solid solution in the Co3O4-Co2ZnO4 system, with a negligibly small mixing enthalpy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fitting of accurate interatomic pair potentials for bulk metallic alloys using unrelaxed LDA energies
TL;DR: In this paper, a general and simple method for obtaining accurate, local density approximation (LDA-) quality interatomic potentials for a large class of bulk metallic alloys is presented.
