This article reviews the theory of electron-phonon interactions in solids from the point of view
of ab initio calculations. While the electron-phonon interaction has been studied for almost a …

This review provides numerical and graphical information about many (but by no means all)
of the physical and electronic properties of GaAs that are useful to those engaged in …

We discuss the generation of a library of projector augmented-wave (PAW) and ultrasoft
pseudopotentials (PPs) for all elements of the periodic table from H to Pu. The PPs are …

A simple way has been discovered to put model pseudopotentials, V (r→)= Σ lm| Y lm> V l
(r)×< Y lm|, into a form which reduces the number of integrals of V (r→) required for an …

Discovery of new transport phenomena and invention of electron devices through
exploitation of these phenomena have caused a great deal of interest in the properties of …

Carrier mobility is at the root of our understanding of electronic devices. We present a unified
methodology for the parameter-free calculations of phonon-limited drift and Hall carrier …

This fully updated second edition of The Physics of Phonons remains the most
comprehensive theoretical discussion devoted to the study of phonons, a major area of …

Starting with the simplest semiclassical approaches and ending with the description of
complex fully quantum-mechanical methods for quantum transport analysis of state-of-the …

The nature of the chemical bond in crystals is discussed. The general theories of L. Pauling
based on thermochemical data and of CA Coulson based on valence bond concepts are …

An empirical nonlocal pseudopotential scheme is employed to calculate the electronic
structure of eleven semiconductors: Si, Ge, α− Sn, GaP, GaAs, GaSb, InP, InAs, InSb, ZnSe …
