Third neighbor analytic tight-binding formulae were obtained for graphene sheets and nanotubes. After fitting the corresponding of-diagonal matrix elements can be used in numerical electronic structure calculations of nanotubes and corrugated graphene.

Surface segregation in transition metals can be analysed within a generalised Ising model,derived from Tight-Binding electronic structure calculations, which identifies three driving forces:the difference in surface energy and atomic volume between the two components and their tendencyto order or phase separate in the bulk. Using this ”three effects” rule, we present here general mapswhich predict the tendency of the solute metal element to segregate (or not) at the surface of a metalmatrix, for the 702 solute/matrix systems that can be formed with transition metal elements. Ourpredictions compare fairly well to the existing ab initio calculations and experimental data availableon these systems. The few exceptions, which mainly concern given matrix elements are discussed indetails.

To gain insight into the electronic properties of MoSe 2 (molybdenum selenide, also known as drysdallite), electronic structure calculations, total and projected density of states, crystal orbital overlap population and Mulliken population analysis were performed. The calculated energy bands depict a semiconductor behavior with a direct gap (at K) of 0.91 eV and an indirect gap (from Γ to K) of 3.6 eV, respectively. Total and projected density of states provided information about the contribution from each orbital of each atom to the total density of states. Moreover, the bonding strength between some atoms within the unit cell was obtained. Mulliken population analysis corroborates the electron filling of the Mo dz2 orbitals in agreement with another experimental and theoretical results.
