Electronic Theory for Cleaved Alloys: Effects of Off-Diagonal Disorder
نویسنده
چکیده
The tight-binding type theory for cleaved alloys by Bennemann et al. has been extended to include the effects of the random transfer integrals (off-diagonal disorder). The chemisorption and segregation behavior of cleaved alloys is investigated in detail including both the diagonal and off-diagonal disorder. I t is demonstrated that the effects of the off-diagonal disorder are very important for the electronic properties of cleaved alloys. The theory has further been used to study the electronic structure of metal surfaces with substitutional disorder as well as to inves tigate the changes in the density of states due to the order-disorder phase transition in chemisorbed layers.

متن کاملTheoretical study of magnetic susceptibility and optical activity of small molecules containing one chiral center
In the first part of this work, correlation between optical activity and elements of magnetic susceptibility tensor (MST) for five classes of model small molecules containing a single chiral center has been studied using quantum computational techniques at DFT-B3LYP level of theory with 6-311G basis set. Several molecular properties are used to reduce the MST elements prior to the examination o...

متن کاملEXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL SOFT X-RAY EMISSION SPECTRA OF Cu-Pd SUBSTITUTIONAL ALLOYS
The electronic density of states on Cu and Pd sites in Cu-Pd substitutlonal alloys has been investigated by soft x-ray emission spectroscopy and SCF-KKRCPA calculations. The results indicate that Cu-Pd can be described as a common band alloy with no Pd virtual bound state. Possible origins for the larger theoretical Pd bandwidth with respect to the experimental one are discussed. In a recent pa...
