ABSTRACTA KKR program for self-consistent electronic structure and total energy calculations of complex solids has been developed. This program has been used to study structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a number of solids. In this paper, we give a description of several numerical techniques used in this KKR program which might be of use to other practitioners. We also present some results obtained using this program: c/a ratio of hexagonal Y, elastic constants of Mo, TiC and MgO, and static spin susceptibility of Pd.

We use the self-consistent, augmented space recursion technique to study the electronic structure and magnetic properties of alloys of the transition metal Fe with the noble metals Cu, Ag and Au. We analyze the effect of hybridization between the constituent bands on the electronic and magnetic properties.

AbstractWe discuss calculations of the electronic and crystallographic structure at the interfaces of titanium-carbon and tungsten-carbon superlattices. Specifically, we present total energy calculations for an arrangement of atoms designed to allow direct investigation of the competition between the formation of M-C bonds and C-C bonds. We conclude that the equilibrium structure is dominated by C-C bonding and so find that the interface has a graphite-like atomic arrangement rather than a carbide-like arrangement. These total energy calculations have been performed using a recently developed self-consistent linear combination of muffin-tin orbitals electronic structure method. This is a full-potential, all-electron, variation on standard LMTO electronic structure methods and, along with careful self-consistent determination of the parameters involved, allows accurate total energy calculations of the type of low symmetry systems involved in this study.

In this paper, the KKR (Korringa, Kohn, and Rostoker) is presented with coherent potential approximation methods which is used to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of allotropic graphite forms of carbon and nickel-doped graphite. The density of states (DOS), band structure, total energy, and the magnetic moments of atoms are computed. The crystallographic structure optimization is carried out by evaluating the total energy as a function of unit lattice parameters. The DOS analysis reveals a partially metallic behavior of the compound. The magnetism vs the Ni-doping content in C1−xNix is also investigated by computing moments induced on atoms; the sensitivity of the magnetism to Ni-doping is also analyzed.

The electronic and magnetic properties of IIIA group doped ZnO nanosheets (ZnONSs) are investigated by the first principles. The results show that the band gap of ZnO nanosheets increases gradually along with Al, Ga, and In ions occupying Zn sites and O sites. The configuration of Al atoms replacing Zn atoms is more stable than other doped. The system shows half-metallic characteristics for In-doped ZnO nanosheets.

The electronic structure properties of Janus MoSSe/WSSe superlattice nanoribbons (SLNRs) are investigated by first-principles calculations. The ribbon width, combination ratio and period length have a great effect on the properties of the SLNRs.
