摘要
The electronic and structural properties of alpha-berlinite (AlPO4) are examined using ab initio pseudopotentials. The electronic band structure, the total and partial densities of states, and the pseudocharge valence density are presented. We find our total density of states to be in excellent agreement with X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and in good agreement with previous tight binding calculations. We also examine the charge density in order to investigate bond character. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
