Angle-dispersive powder diffraction using an image-plate area detector and synchrotron radiation have been used in conjuction with first-principles pseudopotential calculations to examine the structural, electronic, and vibrational properties of the...

Tetrahedral structures and phase transitions in III-V semiconductors. (1994)
Journal Article
Crain, J., Piltz, R., Ackland, G., Clark, S., Payne, M., Milman, V., …Nam, Y. (1994). Tetrahedral structures and phase transitions in III-V semiconductors. Physical Review B (Condensed Matter), 50(12), 8389-8401. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.50.8389

The BC8 structure (body-centered cubic with eight atoms per cell) is a known pressure-induced modification of both silicon and germanium. However, its diatomic analogue [the SC16 structure (a simple cubic lattice with a basis of 16 atoms)] has never...

We present detailed calculations using the total-energy pseudopotential method in the local-density approximation of the relative stability and pressure-induced behavior of complex tetrahedrally bonded structures formed metastably in silicon and germ...
