Electronic structure of ultrathin SinGen strained superlattices: The possibility of direct band gaps
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and electronic properties of thin Si n Ge n superlattices for n = 1, 2, 4 and 6, grown on (001) and (110)-oriented substrates were examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure dependence of optical transitions in ordered GaP/InP superlattices
TL;DR: In this article, a few optical transitions in (001, (111), (110), and (201) GaP/InP ordered superlattices were calculated using ab initio methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicion of charge separation in GaAs/AlAs cylindrical Russian Doll nanostructures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the quantum confinement of multiple quantum wells of flat GaAs and AlAs layers, i.e., an equivalent sequence of wells and barriers arranged as concentric wires, with a set of numbers such that charge separation can exist in cylindrical Russian Dolls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density Functional Thermodynamics Description of Spin, Phonon and Displacement Degrees of Freedom in Antiferromagnetic-to-Paramagnetic Phase Transition in YNiO3
Jinglian Du,Oleksandr I. Malyi,Shun Li Shang,Yi Wang,Xingang Zhao,Fengyan Lu,Alex Zunger,Zi Kui Liu +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a superposition of static configurations constructed by populating a periodic base lattice supercell allowing for the formation of energy lowing distribution of positional and spin local motifs is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Applicability of the local-density theory to interstitial transition-metal impurities in silicon
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the local density formalism does not describe correctly the symmetry of the many-electron ground state of unrelaxed interstitial transition-atom impurities in silicon, but that a self-interaction correction to it produces the observed ground-state symmetries.
