    We perform ab initio electronic structure calculations of the intermetallic compound CeFeGe3 by means of the Tight Binding Linear Muffin-Tin Orbitals-Atomic Sphere Approximation (TB-LMTO-ASA) within the Local Spin Density Approximation containing the so-called Hubbard correction term (LSDA+U^SIC), using the Sttutgart's TB (Tight Binding)-LMTO-ASA code in the framework of the Density Funcional Theory (DFT).Comment: 12 pages 8 figures, submitted to Int.

    Fallas de la aproximación LDA (Local Density Approximation) en la teoría DFT (Density functional Theory) en la descripción de sistemas fuertemente correlacionados

    Se presenta una revisión acerca de las fallas de la aproximación LDA (Local Density Approximation) en la teoría DFT (Density Functional Theory) cuando se trata de describir el comportamiento de sistemas que contienen tanto metales de óxidos de transición así como aquellos que contienen elementos lantánidos y actínidos. Nos enfocamos en este trabajo a una visión con poca matemática, centrándonos mas en argumentos físicos

    Propiedades electrónicas de los compuestos moleculares RaCI y ThO y los sólidos cristalinos UO y ThO2 obtenida mediante los pseudopotenciales ERC

    En el presente trabajo realizamos cálculos ab-initio (o de primeros principios), en los cuales se uti-lizan las bases (pseudopotenciales y bases atómicas) desarrolladas por Ermler, Ross y Christian-sen (ERC) [1] para los elementos actínidos. Estas bases se aplican aquí al estudio de los compues-tos moleculares de RaCl y ThO, y a los sólidos cristalinos ThO2 y UO los cuales se representaron usando un modelo simple de cluster. Las bases mencionadas se desarrollaron en la literatura en ba-se a cálculos relativistas atómicos sobre toda la tabla periódica, y no han sido suficientemente pro-badas en el estudio de compuestos conteniendo átomos de actínidos

    LDA approximation based analysis of the adsorption of O

    Based on the density functional theory whitin the local density aproximation, we investigated the adsorption of the ozone molecule by the boron nitride sheet. To model the sheet we used a planar CnHm cluster; four high symmetry sites in the mesh were considered. A total energy calculation indicates that the boron nitride sheet remains planar and the ozone is adsorbed with an energy of 0.41 eV; the ozone reacts with the sheet forming an epoxy group and an oxygen molecule in an unstable configuration

    Structural and vibrational stability of M and Z phases of silicon and germanium from first principles

    First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the structural feasibility of M and Z phases (novel monoclinic and orthorhombic structures recently reported for carbon) for silicon and germanium. The lattice parameters, bulk modulus, vibrational properties, and elastic constants are calculated using the local density approximation to describe the exchange-correlation energy, while the optical properties are calculated by using Many-Body Perturbation Theory in the G0W0 approximation. Our results indicate that silicon and germanium with the proposed crystal symmetries are elastically and vibrationally stable and are small band-gap semiconductors. We discuss the possible synthesis of such materials
