  1. Computational Solid State Physics 計算物性学特論　第３回 3. Covalent bond and morphology of crystals, surfaces and interfaces

  2. Covalent bond • Diamond structure: C, Si, Ge • Zinc blend structure: GaAs, InP lattice constant :a number of nearest neighbor atoms=4 bond length: bond angle:

  4. Valence orbits 4 bonds

  5. sp3 hybridization • [111] • [1-1-1] • [-11-1] • [-1-11] The four bond orbits are constituted by sp3 hybridization.

  6. rk: position of the k-th atom Rk: optimized position of the k-th atom Keating model for covalent bond (1) • Energy increase by displacement from the optimized structure • Translational symmetry of space • Rotational symmetry of space
