The wave function and binding energy for shallow donors in GaAs are calculated within the tight binding (TB) approach, for supercells containing up to two million atoms. The resulting solutions, coupled with a scaling law, allow…
We use density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the electronic structure and chemical properties of gold nanoparticles. Different structural families of clusters are compared. For up to 60 atoms we optimize structures using DFT-based…
The electronic properties of single-layer antimony are studied by a combination of first-principles and tight-binding methods. The band structure obtained from relativistic density functional theory is used to derive an analytic…
The geometric and electronic structures of NaN, CuN, and AgN metal clusters are systematically studied based on the density functional theory over a wide range of cluster sizes 2=<N=<75. A remarkable similarity is observed between the…
Solid state physics deals with systems composed of atoms with strongly bound electrons. The tunneling probability of each electron is determined by interactions that typically extend to neighboring sites, as their corresponding wave…
As semiconductor technologies continue to scale down to the nanoscale, the efficient prediction of material properties becomes increasingly critical. The tight-binding (TB) method is a widely used semi-empirical approach that offers a…
The structural stability, electronic structure, and bonding characteristics of the silver-doped boron cluster B18Ag2 were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) combined with global optimization techniques. Basin-hopping…
The static response properties and the structural stability of silver clusters in the size range $1\le n \le 23$ have been studied using a linear combination of atomic Gaussian-type orbitals within the density functional theory in the…
We present an atomistic investigation of the influence of strain on the electronic properties of quantum dots (QD's) within the empirical $s p^{3} s^{*}$ tight-binding (ETB) model with interactions up to 2nd nearest neighbors and spin-orbit…
Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) develops large moir\'e patterns at small twist angles with flat energy bands hosting domes of superconductivity. The large system size and intricate band structure have however hampered investigations into the…
Ultra-precision machining of metals, the breaking of nanowires under tensile stress and fracture of nanoscale materials are examples of technologically important processes which are both extremely difficult and costly to investigate…
A recent tight-binding scheme provides a method for extending the results of first principles calculations to regimes involving $10^2 - 10^3$ atoms in a unit cell. The method uses an analytic set of two-center, non-orthogonal tight-binding…
Electronic and optical properties of silver clusters were calculated using two different \textit{ab initio} approaches: 1) based on all-electron full-potential linearized-augmented plane-wave method and 2) local basis function…
The linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) is a standard method for studying solids and molecules, it is also known as the tight$-$binding (TB) method. In most of the implementations only the basis set and the coupling constants are…
Gold nanoclusters have been the focus of numerous computational studies but an atomistic understanding of their structural and dynamical properties at finite temperature is far from satisfactory. To address this deficiency, we investigate…
A dynamics of the precession of coupled atomic moments in the tight-binding (TB) approximation is presented. By implementing an angular penalty functional in the energy that captures the magnetic effective fields self-consistently, the…
We studied the electronic band structure of the low-index fcc Ag surfaces (001), (110) and (111), by using the empirical tight-binding method in addition with the surface Green function matching method. We report the energy values for…
Molybdenum disulfide nanoribbons with zigzag edges show ferromagnetic and metallic properties based on previous \emph{ab-initio} calculations. The investigation of the role of disorder on the magnetic properties is, however, still lacking…
The thermodynamic binding networks (TBN) model is a tool for studying engineered molecular systems. The TBN model allows one to reason about their behavior through a simplified abstraction that ignores details about molecular composition,…
Finite-temperature calculations are relevant for rationalizing material properties yet they are computationally expensive because large system sizes or long simulation times are typically required. Circumventing the need for performing many…
