Free‐standing versus AlAs‐embedded GaAs quantum dots, wires, and films: The emergence of a zero‐confinement state
TL;DR: In this paper, a plane-wave pseudopotential method was used to investigate the electronic structure of free standing and embedded GaAs quantum dots, wires, and films, and it was shown that the confinement energy of the valence-band maximum (VBM) is larger in AlAs-embedded than in free standing quantum structures, because of the zero-confinement character of the VBM wave function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding electronic peculiarities in tetragonal FeSe as local structural symmetry breaking
TL;DR: In this paper, the symmetry-broken motifs obtained by minimization of the internal energy represent what chemical bonding in the tetragonal phase prefers as intrinsic energy lowering (stabilizing) static distortions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ground-state properties of crystalline silicon in a density-functional pseudopotential approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a first-principles nonlocal pseudopotential approach was used to predict ground-state bulk properties of a semiconductor, and the calculated equilibrium lattice constant, total valence energy, and bulk modulus of Si were within 0.2, 0.5, and 5% of the observed values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of the band-gap and band-edge energies of the lattice-matched GaInAsSb∕GaSb and GaInAsSb∕InAs alloys as a function of composition
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the valence-band maximum energy Eυ(x,y) and conduction-band minimum energy Ec(x and y) for a compositionally graded quaternary Ga1−yInyAsxSb1−x alloy lattice matched to GaSb or InAs was predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI
