A number of diverse bulk properties of the zincblende and wurtzite III-V nitrides AlN, GaN, and InN, are predicted from first principles within density functional theory using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential method, within both the…
First-principles calculations were performed, and the results from the study of structural, electronic and elastic properties of zincblende III-arsenide binary compounds (BAs, AlAs, GaAs and InAs) are presented. These properties have been…
We have investigated the group 14 nitrides (M$_3$N$_4$) in the spinel phase ($\gamma$-M$_3$N$_4$ with M= C, Si, Ge and Sn) and $\beta$ phase ($\beta$-M$_3$N$_4$ with M= Si, Ge and Sn) using density functional theory with the local density…
Although electron energy loss near edge structure analysis provides a tool for experimentally probing unoccupied density of states, a detailed comparison with simulations is necessary in order to understand the origin of individual peaks.…
We report density functional study of alternate fullerene-like cage structures and finite closed capped single-wall nanotubes of aluminum nitride. The cages and nanotubes studied are modeled as Al24N24, Al28N28, Al32N32, Al36N36, Al48N48,…
In the present work, the atomic and the electronic structures of Au3N, AuN and AuN2 are investigated using first-principles density-functional theory (DFT). We studied cohesive energy vs. volume data for a wide range of possible structures…
Titanium nitride halides, TiNX (X = F, Cl, Br, I) in the {\alpha}-phase (orthorhombic) are exciting quasi two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems exhibiting a fascinating series of electronic ground states under different conditions.…
Rhombohedral B$_{12}$ unit is viewed as a host matrix embedding linear tri-atomic arrangements of elements (E) resulting in a relatively large family of boron-rich compounds with B$_{12}${E-E-E} generic formulation. The present work focuses…
We report calculated, electronic and related properties of wurtzite and zinc blende gallium nitrides (w-GaN, zb-GaN). We employed a local density approximation (LDA) potential and the linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) formalism.…
In this paper, structural and electronic properties and stability of (10, 0) born nitride nanotube (BNNT) are considered within density functional theory by doping group IV elements of the periodic table. The HOMO-LUMO gap has been strongly…
We present a first-principles investigation of structural, electronic and optical properties of bulk crystalline Ag3N, AgN and AgN2 based on density functional theory (DFT) and many-body perturbation theory. The equation of state (EOS),…
The pressure-induced transformation of diatomic nitrogen into non-molecular polymeric phases may produce potentially useful high-energy-density materials. We combine first-principles calculations with structure searching to predict a new…
The dinitrides CN2, SiN2, and GeN2 in assumed pyrite-type structures are studied by means of density functional theory using both ultrasoft pseudopotentials and the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. The former two materials constitute…
Considering rhombohedral alpha-boron, rh-B12 as a matrix hosting interstitials particularly triatomic linear ones as in B12C3 better known as B4C, the subnitride B12N3 is proposed herein. The N3 triatomic linear alignment labeled N2-N1-N2…
Full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation potential has been applied for the study of structural, elastic and electronic properties of the…
Relaxations at nonpolar surfaces of III-V compounds result from a competition between dehybridization and charge transfer. First principles calculations for the (110) and (10$\bar{1}$0) faces of zincblende and wurtzite AlN, GaN and InN…
A simulated annealing (SA) approach is employed in the determination of different tight binding (TB) sets of parameters for the nitride semiconductors AlN, GaN and InN, as well their limitations and potentialities are also discussed. Two…
The atomic and electronic structures of Pd3N, PdN and PdN2 were investigated using ab initio density-functional theory (DFT). We studied cohesive energy vs. volume equation of states (EOS) for a set of reported and hypothetical structures.…

We present a theory of local electric polarization in crystalline solids and apply it to study the case of wurtzite group-III nitrides. We show that a local value of the electric polarization, evaluated at the atomic sites, can be cast in…
