Absolute deformation potentials: Formulation and ab initio calculations for semiconductors
Abstract
The subjects of this paper are the proper inclusion of long-range electrostatic terms in the theory of electronic deformation potentials, the way to include these terms by using supercells in ab initio density-functional methods, and calculations for selected semiconductors. We describe the connection with the heterojunction problem, and compare our values with previous model theories and with experiment. © 1989 The American Physical Society.
