TLDR
In this article, a method for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector is given, where the integration can be over the entire zone or over specified portions thereof.
Abstract
A method is given for generating sets of special points in the Brillouin zone which provides an efficient means of integrating periodic functions of the wave vector. The integration can be over the entire Brillouin zone or over specified portions thereof. This method also has applications in spectral and density-of-state calculations. The relationships to the Chadi-Cohen and Gilat-Raubenheimer methods are indicated.

The adsorption of oxygen at gan surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the adsorption of oxygen at the wurtzite (0001) and (0001)-GaN surfaces employing density-functional theory and found that both surface orientations are very active towards oxygen adsorbing, explaining the high oxygen concentrations typically observed in GaN.

Interstitial Point Defect Scattering Contributing to High Thermoelectric Performance in SnTe

TL;DR: In this paper, an extremely low lattice thermal conductivity of 0.5 W m−1 K−1 was achieved in SnTe-Cu2Te solid solutions, which is actually approaching the amorphous limit of SnTe.

Structural, Electronic, and Mechanical Properties of Single-Walled Halloysite Nanotube Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability, electronic, and mechanical properties of zigzag and armchair single-walled halloysite nanotubes by means of the selfconsistent charge density-functional tight-binding method (SCC-DFTB) were analyzed.

Ab initio study of hydrogen adsorption in MOF-5.

TL;DR: Density functional theory and second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory are used to calculate the interaction energies between H(2) and individual structural elements of the MOF-5 framework and reproduce measured adsorption isotherms.
