Chemical bonds are considered in light of correlation of valence electrons that is strengthened when the bond is dissociated. In the framework of the unrestricted Hartree-Fock single-reference version of the configuration interaction…
Hydrogenated silicenes possess peculiar properties owing to the strong H-Si bonds, as revealed by an investigation using first principles calculations. The various charge distributions, bond lengths, energy bands, and densities of states…
Hexagonal SiGe is a promising material for combining electronic and photonic technologies. In this work, the energetic, structural, elastic and electronic properties of the hexagonal polytypes (2$H$, 4$H$ and 6$H$) of silicon and germanium…
Using ab-initio electronic structure methods we have investigated the ground state structures and properties of neutral and charged SiH$_{m}$(m=1-4) and Si$_{2}$H$_{n}$(n=1-6) clusters which are produced in the plasma enhanced chemical…
We study electron transport in a normal-metal ring modeled by the tight binding lattice Hamiltonian, coupled to two electron reservoirs. First, Buttiker's model of incorporating inelastic scattering, hence decoherence and dissipation, has…
A structural model of hydrogenated amorphous silicon containing an isolated dangling bond is used to investigate the effects of electron interactions on the electronic level splittings, localization of charge and spin, and fluctuations in…
We have carried out a detailed study of the chemical bonding for two room-temperature stable platinum silicide phases, tetragonal alpha-Pt_2Si and orthorhombic PtSi. An analysis of the valence electronic charge density reveals surprising…
An in situ study of deformation, fracture, and fatigue behavior of silicon as a lithium-ion battery electrode material is presented. Thin films (100-200 nm) of silicon are cycled in a half-cell configuration with lithium metal foil as…
The electronic structure and chemical bonding in reactively magnetron sputtered ZrHx (x=0.15, 0.30, 1.16) thin films with oxygen content as low as 0.2 at% are investigated by 4d valence band, shallow 4p core-level and 3d core-level X-ray…
We consider an electron-phonon system in two and three dimensions on square, hexagonal and cubic lattices. The model is a modification of the standard Holstein model where the optical branch is appropriately curved in order to have a…
Using a plane wave pseudopotential approach to density functional theory we investigate the electron localization length in various oxides. For this purpose, we first set up a theory of the band-by-band decomposition of this quantity, more…
We study the bending rigidity of highly charged stiff polyelectrolytes, for both a single chain and many chains forming a bundle. A theory is developed to account for the interplay between competitive binding of counterions and charge…
Frequency evolutions of hysteresis loop area and hysteresis tools such as remanence and coercivity of a kinetic Ising model in the presence of quenched bond dilution are investigated in detail. The kinetic equation describing the time…
Due to the lack of full rotational symmetry in condensed matter physics, solids exhibit new excitations beyond Dirac and Weyl fermions, of which the six-fold excitations have attracted considerable interest owing to the presence of the…
We evaluate the electron transmission through a dangling-bond wire on Si(100)-H (2x1). Finite wires are modelled by decoupling semi-infinite Si electrodes from the dangling-bond wire with passivating H atoms. The calculations are performed…
The electronic structure of the heavy fermion compound CeB6 is probed by resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering using photon energies across the Ce 3d and 4d absorption edges. The hybridization between the localized 4f orbitals and the…
Charge carriers in organic semiconductors form polarons, which are self-localized states stabilized by interactions with their environment. Using a dielectric-stabilized tight-binding model parameterized from first-principles calculations,…
Local composition fluctuations in random alloys become crucial when one or more dimensions are reduced to the nanoscale. Using extended H\"uckel theory, we study the semiconductor random alloy SiGe sandwiched between Si due to its relevance…
We study effects of electron-electron interactions on the steady-state characteristics of a hexagonal molecular ring in a magnetic field, as a model for a benzene molecular junction. The system is driven out of equilibrium by applying a…
4H-Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) possesses a high Baliga figure of merit, making it a promising material for power electronics. However, its applications are limited by its low hole mobility. Herein, we found that the hole mobility of 4H-SiC is…
