摘要
We describe a method to calculate structural properties of semiconductors from the electron-ion Hamiltonian using density-functional expressions for the total energy. The method is applied to Si using an ionic pseudopotential with a plane-wave basis and considering TO (), TA(X), and C11-C12 lattice distortions. Harmonic and anharmonic forces and Grüneisen coefficients are shown to be in reasonable agreement with experiment except that additional steps toward self-consistency appear to be essential for the very sensitive TA(X) mode. Charge densities for the distorted crystals show the nature of the electronic forces and the relation to phenomenological models. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
