Journal ArticleDOI
n -type doping and passivation of CuInSe 2 and CuGaSe 2 by hydrogen
Çetin Kılıç,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that hydrogen impurity can be used to dope chalcopyrite compounds, such as CuInSe and CuGaSe, but not to dope oxides such as ZnO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epitaxial effects on coherent phase diagrams of alloys
D. M. Wood,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: A cluster-based description of coherent binary or pseudobinary alloys is presented and it is demonstrated that composition pinning persists even in this growth method, and with available experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theory of bonding charge density in β′ NiAl
Z.W. Lu,Su-Huai Wei,Alex Zunger +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of Fox and Tabbernor's results with ab initio band theory, in the context of the local density formalism, is presented, and it is shown that theory reproduces the measured structure factors to within a very small deviations of ∼ 0.02 e/atom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural phase transition in (GaAs)1-xGe2x and (GaP)1-xSi2x alloys: Test of the bulk thermodynamic description.
TL;DR: The validity of a three-dimensional bulk thermodynamic model for (GaAs) and (GaP) using an energy model that includes such electrostatic interactions and pairwise energies extracted from first-principles local-density total-energy calculations is reexamined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of unusual electronic properties of Si quantum films
Shengbai Zhang,Alex Zunger +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudopotential band structure analysis of thin Si(001) films reveals a number of features that are unexpected on the basis of conventional quantum confinement models: (i) the energies of some valence-band states exhibit oscillations when the number of monolayers in the film changes from even to odd, and (ii) certain film wave functions have a cosine (rather than sine) envelope function.
