Electronic and phononic properties of cinnabar: ab initio calculations and some experimental results
M. Cardona, R. K. Kremer, R. Lauck +4
We report ab initio calculations of the electronic band structure, the corresponding optical spectra, and the phonon dispersion relations of trigonal alpha-HgS (cinnabar). The calc…
Electronic, vibrational, and thermodynamic properties of ZnS (zincblende and rocksalt structure)
M. Cardona, R. K. Kremer, R. Lauck +4
We have measured the specific heat of zincblende ZnS for several isotopic compositions and over a broad temperature range (3 to 1100 K). We have compared these results with calcula…
Electronic, vibrational and thermodynamic properties of beta-HgS (metacinnabar), HgSe and HgTe
M. Cardona, R. K. Kremer, R. Lauck +3
We report ab initio calculations of the electronic band structure and the phonon dispersion relations of the zincblende-type mercury chalcogenides (beta-HgS, HgSe, and HgTe). The l…
Isotope effects on the lattice parameter of cubic SiC
Carlos P. Herrero, Rafael Ramirez, Manuel Cardona
Path-integral molecular dynamics simulations in the isothermal-isobaric (NPT) ensemble have been carried out to study the dependence of the lattice parameter of 3C-SiC upon isotope…
Lattice Dynamics and Specific Heat of - GeTe: a theoretical and experimental study
R. Shaltaf, X. Gonze, M. Cardona +2
We extend recent \textit{ab initio} calculations of the electronic band structure and the phonon dispersion relations of rhombohedral GeTe to calculations of the density of phonon…
Lattice Properties of PbX (X = S, Se, Te): Experimental Studies and ab initio Calculations Including Spin-Orbit Effects
A. H. Romero, M. Cardona, R. K. Kremer +4
During the past five years the low temperature heat capacity of simple semiconductors and insulators has received renewed attention. Of particular interest has been its dependence…
