Modified Group Projectors: Tight Binding Method

Modified group projector technique for induced representations is a powerful tool for calculation and symmetry quantum numbers assignation of a tight binding Hamiltonian energy bands of crystals. Namely, the induced type structure of such a Hamiltonian enables efficient application of the procedure: only the interior representations of the orbit stabilizers are to be considered. Then the genera...

Modified group method for mobility management

The Group Method as identified in IS-41 standard was modified in this study to be dual group system to identify the optimal group size and to cope with the location tracking problem of the wireless system. The Group Method can effectively reduce the loading of the network caused by tracking mobile users in a mobile cellular system because it joins several cells to form a group. Instead of perfo...

Applications of the NRL tight-binding method to magnetic systems

The NRL developed tight-binding method has been very successful in describing the properties of nonmagnetic elemental metals and semiconductors with accuracy comparable to first-principles methods. In this article we discuss extensions of the method to magnetic systems. We first show that the method correctly predicts equilibrium ground state structures, elastic constants, and phonon frequencie...

A new tight - binding total energy method for transition

A new general tight-binding total energy (TBTE) method is presented that accurately predicts energy diierences caused by small perturbations such as those occurring in the evaluation of elastic constants and phonon spectra as well as energy diierences from large changes in structure such as structural energy diierences, equations of state, and defect energies. Unlike other quantitative TBTE mod...
