Qualitative electronic state band diagrams

Figure 5. Qualitative electronic state (miniband) band diagrams envisaged for 8Ag,(2-p)X,pY-SOD as a new material for a chemistry approach to a resonance tunneling quantum dot transistor and a heterojunction multiple quantum dot laser array.

Fig. 1. Electronic states [or iron-group atoms, showing number of states as qualitative [unction of electronic energy. Electrons in band A are paired with similar electrons of neighboring atoms to form bonds. Electrons in band B are d electrons with small interatomic interaction they remain unpaired until the band is half-filled. The shaded area represents occupancy of the states by electrons in nickel, with 0.6 electron lacking from a completely filled B band. (States corresponding to occupancy of bond orbitals by unshared electron pairs are not shown in the diagram.)...

Variation of the states Tjand Tg (in the valence band) reflect a change in the interlayer ji-ji coupling [5]. The FLAPW method has also been used to study the bulk and surface electronic properties of a-BN [6, 7]. The treatment shows the absence of surface states in a-BN (which is in contrast to graphite). However, it was concluded that a-BN is an indirect gap insulator, which is in contradiction with previous results for details, see [7]. First-order perturbation theory and the concept of transfer ability have been used to explain degenerate lifting in the two- and three-dimensional electronic ji-band structures of a-BN (and graphite) in a simple orbital context. This leads to band diagrams that correspond qualitatively to those obtained by the various calculational methods [8]. 

The previous sections have shown that one can work back from band structures and densities of states to local chemical actions—electron transfer and bond formation. It may still seem that the qualitative construction of surface-adsorbate or sublattice-sublattice orbital interaction diagrams in the forward direction is difficult. There are all these orbitals. How to estimate their relative interaction ...
