LMTO (Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital) electronic band-structure calculations for linear Pt-Br chains

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6992044

Self-consistent first-principles Linear Muffin-Tin Orbital (LMTO) scalar-relativistic and Dirac-relativistic electronic band structure calculations are presented for linear Pt-Br chains (without any ligand structure) embedded in a three-dimensional crystal with empty atomic spheres added to isolate the chains. These calculations are a first step towards a complete a priori calculation of the electronic structure of the halogen-bridged linear platinum chain compound Pt/sub 2/Br/sub 6/(NH/sub 3/)/sub 4/, an MX chain compound (M = transition metal and X = halogen atoms). 10 refs., 4 figs.
