摘要
The crystalline orbitals of seven oxygen containing compounds with increasing degree of covalent character (MgO, MnO, ZnO, Al2O3, SiO2, AlPO4, and CaSO4) are localized according to a Wannier-Boys mixed scheme recently implemented. The resulting Wannier functions are analyzed in terms of various indices (centroids positions, second-order central moment tensor, its eigenvalues and principal axes, Mulliken population analysis, and atomic localization indices). Systematic trends are observed along the series. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
