Pseudopotential Calculations of Electronic Charge Densities in Seven Semiconductors
Open accessAbstract
Electronic charge densities are calculated as a function of position in the unit cell for seven diamond and zinc-blende semiconductors using wave functions derived from pseudopotential band-structure calculations. Detailed plots of the charge density are presented in the (110) plane for each valence band of Ge, GaAs, and ZnSe and for the sum of the valence bands of Ge, GaAs, ZnSe, $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{n}$, InSb, CdTe, and Si. Trends in bonding and ionicity are discussed in detail. The covalent-bonding charge is also calculated for these crystals and is plotted against the ionicity scales of Phillips and Van Vechten and of Pauling. It is shown that an extrapolation to zero covalent-bonding charge yields a critical value of the ionicity which separates fourfold-coordinated and sixfold-coordinated diatomic crystals. This value is in agreement with the empirical value obtained by Phillips and Van Vechten.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
