Abstract

We present self-consistent local density functional calculations of the electronic structure and bonding characteristics of an ideal diamond/Ni (001) interface and an unrelaxed diamond/BN (110) interface. At this stage the small lattice mismatches are not taken into account. Results include predictions of the band line-ups across the interfaces: the Schottky barrier height in the former case and the valence and conduction band discontinuities in the latter case.
