  1. Electron poor materials research group Group meeting Jan 27, 2011 Theory- ZnSb Hybrid Structures; Equations of State. Bandstructures and atomic parameters.

  2. Procedure • The ZnSb crystal has elements replaced within it’s structure to make hybrid structures. • For instance in MgSb all Zn’s in the ZnSb structure have been replaced by Mg. • The structures are then minimized either by using VASP’s full minimization (vol,cell,ion) algorithm or by using the standard EOS. • Bandstructures are calculated • Bader analysis is performed.
