First-principles calculations of 2×2 reconstructions of GaN surfaces (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Salinero, V., Gibson, M., Brand, S., Clark, S., & Abram, R. (2004, July). First-principles calculations of 2×2 reconstructions of GaN surfaces. Presented at 27th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors : ICPS-27., Flagstaff, Arizona

e GaN and other group III nitrides have great importance in a wide range of technological applications. Difficulty in growing good quality epitaxial GaN currently prevents the full technological potential of this material. The ab initio studies prese...

The interaction of quantum well excitons with evanescent EM waves and the spectroscopy of waveguide polaritons (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Beggs, D., Kaliteevski, M., Brand, S., Abram, R., & Kavokin, A. (2004, July). The interaction of quantum well excitons with evanescent EM waves and the spectroscopy of waveguide polaritons. Presented at 27th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors : ICPS-27., Flagstaff, Arizona

A transfer matrix method has been used to calculate the dispersion relations of planar dielectric waveguides (WGs) containing quantum well (QW) excitons. It is found that WG polaritons are formed, whose dispersion displays the classic anti-crossing b...

Screened Exchange Calculations of Semiconductor Band Structures (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gibson, M. C., Clark, S. J., Brand, S., & Abram, R. A. (2004, July). Screened Exchange Calculations of Semiconductor Band Structures. Presented at 27th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors : ICPS-27., Flagstaff, Arizona

We have calculated the band structures of several group IV and III-V semiconductors from first principles. The technique we have employed is the screened exchange method, which is an extension of the commonly used Kohn-Sham density functional theory...
