Electronic structure calculations have been carried out using Extended Hückel tight-binding method for 2 H — MoTe 2 for the cases both unrotated and with rotated planes. It has been found that relative rotations of the tellurium layers ranging from 5 to 16 degrees have the same total energies and total energies/atom as the unrotated structure. Moreover, an increased in metallic behavior has been observed, as long as the degrees of rotated planes are increased. Finally, good agreement has been found among previous experimental measurements in the diffraction pattern of irradiated MoTe 2 and our calculated 5, 6 and 7 degrees of rotations.

AbstractWe have developed a set of techniques for performing large scale ab initio calculations using multigrid accelerations and a real-space grid as a basis. The multigrid methods permit efficient calculations on ill-conditioned systems with long length scales or high energy cutoffs. We discuss the design of pseudopotentials for real-space grids, and the computation of ionic forces. The technique has been applied to several systems, including an isolated C60 molecule, the wurtzite phase of GaN, a 64-atom cell of GaN with the Ga d-states in valence, and a 443-atom protein. The method has been implemented on both vector and parallel architectures. We also discuss ongoing work on O(N) implementations and solvated biomolecules.
