the high pressure behavior of the structural and electronic properties of kc1 is studied with use of the density functional pseudopotential method within local-density approximation. atzero pressure, the rocksalt phase is found to be lower in energy than cscl structure. however, we predict a phase transition into csci structure at a pressure of about 1.5 gpa. the calculated ground state propert...

 The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...

first principle calculations were performed using density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (lsda) to understand the electronic properties of au(100)+tbt system and compare the results with au(100) and bulk au properties. band structure, the total dos and charge density for these materials are calculated. we found that the homo for au(100)+tbt becomes broader than au...

the electronic and magnetic properties of the hypothetical compounds of mc (m=al, ga and in) are investigated by using first-principle calculations and pseudopotential plane wave self-consistent field method based on density functional theory. in order to find the most stable phase of mc (m=al, ga and in), we study them in zinc-blende (zb), rocksalt (rs), wurtzite and nias crystal structures. w...
