An interionic potential model is developed which incorporates the effects due to the long‐range Coulomb and three‐body interactions and the short—range overlap repulsion operative up to the second‐neighbour ions, and van der Waals dipole‐dipole and dipole—quadrupole attractions. The use of this potential for comprehensive calculations yields satisfactory prediction of the lattice statics and allied properties of zincblende‐type compound semiconductors. These successes reveal the importance of van der Waals and three‐body interactions in these semiconductors.

The (100) heteroepitaxial growth of lattice-mismatched semiconductors is simulated by associating the Monte Carlo technique and the valence force field approximation used for the strain energy calculations. It is shown that V-shaped defects showing ( 111 ) facets are formed in the early stages of th
The ground state electronic structure and thermal properties of B 2 -type intermetallic compounds AlRE (RE: Pm, Sm, Eu, Tb, Gd and Dy) have been studied using a self-consistent tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method at ambient as well as at high pressure. These compounds show metal
