We present angle-resolved photoemission spectra from the low-index faces of CuAl single crystals using 16.85- and 21.22-eV radiation, together with the computed bulk electronic structure of the alloy within the framework of the muffin-tin coherent-potential approximation (CPA). The d-band complex of Cu is found to suffer shifts of less than 0.1 eV on alloying, whereas the states of s-p symmetry are lowered in energy by as much as on the order of 1 eV. The dispersion curve of the uppermost valence band is measured and with the extrapolation of this curve to the Fermi energy (EF), the Fermi-surface radii along …


Application Of Coherent-Potential Approximation To Disordered Muffin-Tin Alloys, A. Bansil Apr 2012

Application Of Coherent-Potential Approximation To Disordered Muffin-Tin Alloys, A. Bansil

Arun Bansil

I report implementation of the coherent-potential approximation for obtaining the electronic density of states and component charge densities in disordered muffin-tin alloys. Illustrative results for CuₓNi₁₋ₓ are presented. The extent to which the self-consistency in treating disorder influences the electronic spectrum is considered.


Electronic Structure And Magnetism Of Fe$_{3-X}$V$_{X}$X (X=Si, Ga, And Al) Alloys By The Kkr-Cpa Method, A. Bansil, S. Kaprzyk, P. Mijnarends, J. Tobola Feb 2011

Electronic Structure And Magnetism Of Fe$_{3-X}$V$_{X}$X (X=Si, Ga, And Al) Alloys By The Kkr-Cpa Method, A. Bansil, S. Kaprzyk, P. Mijnarends, J. Tobola

We present first principles charge- and spin-selfconsistent electronic structure computations on the Heusler-type disordered alloys Fe$_{3-x}$V$_{x}$X for three different metalloids X=(Si, Ga and Al). In these calculations we use the methodology based on the Korringa-Kohn- Rostoker formalism and the coherent-potential approximation (KKR-CPA), generalized to treat disorder in multi-component complex alloys.
