Our understanding of the “long range” electrodynamic, electrostatic, and polar interactions
that dominate the organization of small objects at separations beyond an interatomic bond …

Using the self-consistent orthogonalized linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals method in the
local-density approximation, the electronic structure and the optical properties of three …

Using the first-principles orthogonalized linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals method in the
local-density approximation, the electronic structures and the linear-optical properties of ten …

The addition of suitable dopants to ZrO 2 can induce dramatic phase stabilization, and this
dopant-induced phase stabilization is the basis of transformation toughening of zirconia …

This book summarizes the present state of knowledge on the microscopic behavior of oxide
surfaces. It includes classical approaches, introduces the concept of ionicity, and describes …

The electronic structures, the charge-density distribution, and the total energies of boron
nitrides (BN) in the hexagonal, cubic, and wurtzite structures are studied by first-principles …

This review gives the reader an overview of the published results describing near band-
edge as well as defect related luminescence in aluminum nitride, also presenting findings …

The London dispersion forces, along with the Debye and Keesom forces, constitute the long‐
range van der Waals forces. London's and Hamaker's work on the point‐to‐point dispersion …

The mechanisms underlying the influence of the surface chemistry of inorganic materials on
polymer structures and fracture behaviours near adhesive interfaces are not fully …

The electronic structures and the linear optical dielectric functions of 18 cubic
semiconductors are studied by the first-principles orthogonalized linear-combination-of …
