Self-Consistent-Charge Density-Functional Tight-Binding Parameters for Cd鈥揦 (X = S, Se, Te) Compounds and Their Interaction with H, O, C, and N
文摘
Parameters for CdX, SeX, and TeX (X = H, C, N, O, S, Se, Te, and Cd) have been generated within the self-consistent-charge density-functional tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) framework. The approach has been tested against ab initio density-functional theory calculations for the relevant bulk phases, surfaces, nanowires, and small molecular systems. The SCC-DFTB approach reproduces structural, electronic, and energetic properties very well, demonstrating that the developed parameters are fully transferable among different chemical environments.
