Using the density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), the structural and electronic properties of wurtzite AlN, GaN, InN, and their related alloys, Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N and In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N, were…

The structural properties of the $Zn_xMg_{1-xS_ySe_{1-y}}$ solid solutions are determined by a combination of the computational alchemy and the cluster expansion methods with Monte Carlo simulations. We determine the phase diagram of the…

Rutile Sn$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$O$_{2}$ alloys are promising materials for high-power electronic applications due to their dopability and tunable ultra-wide band gaps. We use first-principles density functional theory and statistical mechanics to…

High real-space resolution atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) have been obtained from ZnSe(1-x)Te(x) using neutron powder diffraction. Distinct Zn-Se and Zn-Te nearest neighbor (nn) bonds, differing in length by delta_r=…

We present and compare three distinct atomistic models -- based on first principles and semi-empirical approaches -- of the structural and electronic properties of Ge$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$ alloys. Density functional theory calculations…

Vibration properties of Zn(1-x)Be(x)Se, a mixed II-VI semiconductor haracterized by a high contrast in elastic properties of its pure constituents, ZnSe and BeSe, are simulated by first-principles calculations of electronic structure,…

In this work, we address issues pertinent to the understanding of the structural and electronic properties of Si_{1-x} Ge_{x}alloys, namely, (i) how does the lattice constant mismatch between bulk Si and bulk Ge manifests itself in the…

Ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the structure, dynamics and electronic properties of the liquid alloy Ag(1-x)Se(x) at 1350 K and at the three compositions x=0.33, 0.42 and 0.65. The calculations are…

Electronic structure of zinc blende AlN(1-x)$Px alloy has been calculated from first principles. Structural optimisation has been performed within the framework of LDA and the band-gaps calculated with the modified Becke-Jonson (MBJLDA)…

In this work we study the structural stability and electronic properties of the Beryllium sulphide nanowires (NWs) in both zinc blende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) phases with triangle and hexagonal cross section, using first principle…

Using the hybrid exchange-correlation functional within the density-functional theory, we have systematically investigated the structural and electronic properties of MO (M = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd) in binary rocksalt (B1), zincblende…

This paper studies short-range order (SRO) in the semiconductor alloy (GaN)$_{1-x}$(ZnO)$_x$. Monte Carlo simulations performed on a density functional theory (DFT)-based cluster expansion model show that the heterovalent alloys exhibit…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical analysis of the evolution of the near-band gap electronic and optical properties of Si$_{x}$Ge$_{1-x-y}$Sn$_{y}$ alloys lattice-matched to Ge and GaAs substrates. We perform…

Compound semiconductor alloys of the type ABC find widespread applications as their electronic bulk band gap varies continuously with x, and therefore a tayloring of the energy gap is possible by variation of the concentration. We model the…

We present total energy and force calculations on the (GaN)$_{1-x}$(ZnO)$_{x}$ alloy. Site-occupancy configurations are generated by Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, based on a cluster expansion (CE) model proposed in a previous study.…

Pseudobinary heterostructural alloys of ZnO with MgO or CdO are studied by composing the system locally of clusters with varying ratio of cations. We investigate fourfold (wurtzite structure) and sixfold (rocksalt structure) coordination of…

Using a first-principles band-structure method and a special quasirandom structure (SQS) approach, we systematically calculate the band gap bowing parameters and \emph{p}-type doping properties of (Zn, Mg, Be)O related random ternary and…

A first-principles study has been performed to evaluate the electronic and optical properties of wurtzite Zn1-xCdxO up to x=0.25. We have employed the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) form of generalized gradient approximation within the…

We calculate the electronic structure of germanium-tin (Ge$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$) binary alloys for $0 \leq x \leq 1$ using density functional theory (DFT). Relaxed alloys with semiconducting or semimetallic behaviour as a function of Sn…

Unlike cubic GeSn, which requires a high Sn concentration to undergo an indirect-to-direct bandgap transition, lonsdaleite (2H) germanium is an intrinsic direct-gap semiconductor. We employ first-principles density functional theory to…
