We have presented the results of ab initio investigations on the structural, electronic and optical properties of MB12 (M = Zr, Hf, Y, Lu) dodecaboride compounds. Especially, the lattice parameters, bond distances, bulk modulus, electronic band structure, density of state, optical properties and their related quantities such as dielectric constants, refraction index and energy-loss function are calculated, and it is shown that the compounds have a metallic character and a large static dielectric constant. Our structural results are in agreement with the available experimental and other theoretical data.

ERKİŞİ, AYTAÇ; SÜRÜCÜ, GÖKHAN; DELİGÖZ, ENGİN (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt; 2018-03-10)
In this study, the structural, electronic, magnetic, and mechanical properties of perovskite oxides PbM1/2Nb1/2O3 (M = Fe, Co and Ni) are investigated. The systems are treated in ferromagnetic order. The calculations are carried out in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) within the plane-wave pseudopotential method. The exchange-correlation potential is approximated by generalized-gradient spin approach (GGA). The intra-atomic Coulomb repulsion is also taken into account in calculations (GGA+U)...
THE STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES OF BNxAs1-x ALLOYS
Mohammad, Rezek; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay (2012-10-01)
The structural and electronic properties of BNxAs1-x alloys have been investigated in the total range of nitrogen by the FP-LAPW method based on DFT within the EV-PW-GGA scheme. The equilibrium lattice constants, bulk moduli, first-order pressure derivatives of the bulk moduli, and cohesive energies have been obtained by total energy calculations of the alloys after both volume and geometry optimizations. The large bowing parameters found for the lattice constants and bulk moduli have demonstrated that the ...
