The electronic charge density plays a central role in determining the behavior of matter at the atomic scale, but its computational evaluation requires demanding electronic-structure calculations. We introduce an atom-centered,…
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…
Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) like Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$As are described by a realistic tight-binding model (TBM) for the (valence) bands of GaAs, by a Zener (J-)term modeling the coupling of the localized Mn-spins to the spins of the…
We sketch the calculation of the pion structure functions within the DSE framework, following two alternative albeit consistent approaches, and discuss then their QCD evolution, the running driven by an effective charge, from a hadronic…
In this work, we derive a three-dimensional effective mass that is suitable for treatment of electrons in anisotropic semiconductors. We show that it is possible to define a scalar anisotropic three-dimensional mass that reduces to a…
The title material has a quasi-one-dimensional electronic structure and is of considerable interest because it has a metallic phase with properties different from a simple Fermi liquid, a poorly understood "insulating" phase, and a…
The electronic structure is found to be understandable in terms of free-atom term values and universal interorbital coupling parameters, since self-consistent tight-binding calculations indicate that Coulomb shifts of the d-state energies…
Interactions mediated by electron-phonon coupling are responsible for important cooperative phenomena in metals such as superconductivity and charge-density waves. The same interaction mechanisms produce strong collision rates in the normal…
We present and discuss in detail practical techniques in formulating effective models to describe the dynamics of low-energy electrons in generic bilayer graphene. Starting from a tight-binding model using the $p_z$ orbital of carbon atoms…
The intrinsic spin Hall effect in semiconductors has developed to a remarkably lively and rapidly growing branch of research in the field of semiconductor spintronics. In this article we give a pedagogical overview on both theoretical and…
Effective field theory provides a way of parameterizing strong-field deviations from General Relativity that might be observable in the gravitational waves emitted in a black hole merger. To perform numerical simulations of mergers in such…
We present a numerical method which accurately computes the discrete spectrum and associated bound states of Hamiltonians which model electronic "edge" states localized at boundaries of one and two-dimensional crystalline materials. The…
Organic semiconductors show complex phenomena due to their high energetic disorder. A striking example is the possibility of an increased effective temperature T_eff of the charge carrier distribution relative to the lattice temperature,…
2+1 dimensional topological insulator described by the Kane-Mele model in the presence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction is considered. The effective action of the external fields coupled to electromagnetic and spin degrees of freedom is…
Parameterized tight-binding models fit to first principles calculations can provide an efficient and accurate quantum mechanical method for predicting properties of molecules and solids. However, well-tested parameter sets are generally…
We extend a tight-binding total energy method to include f-electrons, and apply it to the study of the structural and elastic properties of a range of elements from Be to U. We find that the tight-binding parameters are as accurate and…
We develop a self-consistent theory describing the spin and spatial electron diffusion in the impurity band of doped semiconductors under the effect of a weak spin-orbit coupling. The resulting low-temperature spin-relaxation time and…
The control of charges in a circuit due to an external electric field is ubiquitous to the exchange, storage and manipulation of information in a wide range of applications, from electronic circuits to synapses in neural cells. Conversely,…
We discuss the construction of low-energy tight-binding Hamiltonians for condensed matter systems with a strong coupling to the quantum electromagnetic field. Such Hamiltonians can be obtained by projecting the continuum theory on a given…
Using gluon and ghost propagators obtained from Schwinger-Dyson equations (SDEs), we construct the non-perturbative effective charge of QCD. We employ two different definitions, which, despite their distinct field-theoretic origin, give…
