Electron, hole, and exciton states of multishell CdS/HgS/CdS quantumdot quantum well nanocrystals are determined by use of a multiband theory that includes valence-band mixing, modeled with a 6-band Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian, and nonparabolicity of the conduction band. The multiband theory correctly describes the recently observed dark-exciton ground state and the lowest, optically active, bri...

The structural and electronic properties of the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons were studied by using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons are energetically stable. The effects of ribbon type and ribbon width on the electronic properties of these nanoribbons were investigated. It was found that both armchair and zigz...

Cr(1-x)Al(x) exhibits semiconducting behavior for x = 0.15-0.26. This Letter uses hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory to further understand the semiconducting behavior. Photoemission measurements of an epitaxial Cr(0.80)Al(0.20) thin film show several features in the valence band region, including a gap at the Fermi energy (E(F)) for which the valence band edge i...

in present work, we have calculated the electronic properties including density of states (dos) and electron density for gan, inn and in wurtzite phase for x=0.5. the study is based on density functional theory (dft) with full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (fp-lapw) by generalized gradient approximation (gga-pbesol) for calculating electronic properties. in this report we con...

Abstract The spectral momentum densities of vanadium metal and V2O3 are measured by electron momentum spectroscopy. Results are compared with band structure calculations based on density functional theory (DFT). Qualitatively, the agreement between theory and experiment is good. The calculated total band width of vanadium metal (6.5 eV) is in excellent agreement with the observed one (6.5 ± 0.2...
