ABSTRACTWe demonstrate that our tight-binding method - which is based on fitting the energy bands and the total energy of first-principles calculations as a function of volume - can be easily extended to accurately describe carbon and silicon. We present equations of state that give the correct energy ordering between structures. We also show that quantities that were not fitted, such as elastic constants and the band structure of C60, can be reliably obtained from our scheme.

The electronic structure and spin polarization properties of pentagonal structure PdSe2 doped with transition metal atoms are studied through first- principles calculations. The theoretical investigations show that the band gap of the PdSe2 monolayer decreases after introducing Cr, Mn, Fe and Co dopants. The projected densities of states show that p-d orbital couplings between the transition metal atoms and PdSe2 generate new spin nondegenerate states near the Fermi level which make the system spin polarized. The calculated magnetic moments, spin density distributions and charge transfer of the systems suggest that the spin polarization in Cr-doped PdSe2 will be the biggest. Our work shows that the properties of PdSe2 can be modified by doping transition metal atoms, which provides opportunity for the applications of PdSe2 in electronics and spintronics.
