The tight-binding method of modelling materials lies between the very accurate, very
expensive, ab initio methods and the fast but limited empirical methods. When compared …

Most textbooks in the field are either too advanced for students or don't adequately cover
current research topics. Bridging this gap, Electronic Structure of Materials helps advanced …

We present a method for calculating the electronic structure of disordered alloys with short-
range order (SRO) which guarantees a positive density of states for all values of the SRO …

We present the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and structural properties of
metastable and alloys over the whole composition range. Although in the equilibrium state …

We use the earlier ideas of Razee and Prasad [Phys. Rev. B 45, 3265 (1992); Phys. Rev. B
48, 1349 (1993)], Datta [Phys. Rev. B 48, 8567 (1993)], and Mookerjee and Prasad [Phys …

We present a method for calculating the electronic spectrum of a binary unordered alloy with
short-range order (SRO). The method is based on a generalization of the augmented-space …

The methods of electronic structure calculations for random alloys in the Korringa-Kohn-
Rostoker (KKR) framework will be reviewed. The KKR coherent-potential approximation …

We have developed a model of a random alloy based on a simplified single-(s-type-) band
model of a solid introduced by Andersen to demonstrate the screening of orbitals in the …

We have performed first-principles calculations to study the electronic structures and
magnetic properties of (i) three transition metals: Mn Pd and Pt (ii) two ordered alloys: Pt3Mn …
