We use cluster generalization of the coherent potential approximation in the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method to account for the effect of the local environment on electronic and magnetic properties of substitutional random alloys. This theory combines the augmented space formalism and conventional tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital methods. In particular, we shall apply the technique to the bcc-based NiAl and fcc-based CuAu alloys and also compare with other approaches.

AbstractWe present a highly accurate tight-binding parametrization of the LAPW band structure of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, discuss the methodology used in obtaining this fit, and its potential application to a Tight-Binding Coherent-Potential Approximation (TB-CPA) calculation of the effects of oxygen vacancies on the electronic structure.

ABSTRACTWe have theoretically studied optical properties of a quantum well (QW) in which the well region is constructed from a binary alloy semiconductor A1−xBx in the coherent potential approximation (CPA). A tight binding model is used for a single particle (electron, hole, Frenkel exciton) in the well composed by a rectangular array of NxxNyxNz sites. The effect of the diagonal randomness is reduced to the coherent potential σ(E), which is assumed to be the same for all sites, and is selfconsistently determined with the average Green's function. For a slab (∞, ∞, Nz) and wire (∞, Ny, Nz), the density of states (E) is composed of Nz (or NyxNz) subbands, each shows the two (one)-dimensional van-Hove singularity. When x (or 1−x) is small, a B (A) impurity-band always appears at the lower (higher) energy side of the lowest (highest) host-band. The change of (E) and the absorption spectrum by changing the well-width and the dimensionality is discussed in detail.
