Join the Theory-CaAs group as they explore hexagonal hybrid structures, equations of state, band structures, and atomic parameters. The group modifies the CaAs crystal by replacing elements to create hybrid structures, like MgSb with Mg replacing Zn. Structures are minimized using EOS, band structures are calculated, and Bader analysis is performed. Explore the varied properties and atomic arrangements through detailed data and analysis.

Electron poor materials research group Group meeting Jan 27, 2011 Theory- CaAs Hexagonal hybrid Structures; Equations of State. Bandstructures and atomic parameters.
Procedure • The CaAs 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 • For instance in MgSb all Zn’s in the ZnSb structure have been replaced by Mg. • Structure is minimized via EOS. • Bandstructures are calculated • Bader analysis is performed.
