DEFECT-RELATED ISSUES IN HIGH-K DIELECTRICS
The roles of impurities and point defects are again coming to the forefront as new materials, such as high-k dielectrics, and novel device structures (e.g., double gate MOSFETs) are introduced in new generatio...

Ab-Initio Investigations of Surfaces and Grain Boundaries in Germanium
This paper describes the application of ab-initio total energy pseudopotential calculations to investigate surfaces and grain boundaries in germanium. Parameters have been calculated for an effective Hamiltoni...

Intergranular Total Energy Maps and the Structure of a Grain Boundary
An ab initio theoretical investigation of the structure of a twist grain boundary in Ge is performed whereby the intergranular total energy is mapped out over the entire range of possible relative in-plane tra...

A Total Energy-Renormalization Group Approach to the Phase Transition of Solid Surfaces
The tight-binding energy minimization method is combined with a renormalization-group calculation to study the structural phase transition of the Si(100) surface. The ground-state reconstruction is found to be...

Bonding Coordination Defects in Selenium
A great variety of experimental phenomena have been attributed to under- or over-coordinated sites in chalcogenide glasses. The electronic structure of these bonding coordination defects has proven to be an in...

Electronic Densities of States of Amorphous and Trigonal Se and Te
We have used the Empirical Pseudopotential Method to obtain electronic densities of states and charge distributions for the valence electrons in trigonal Se and Te. We have explored the relation between densit...
