Abstract

Electronic excess energy of a composition-modulated alloy system at absolute zero temperature is obtained using Hohenberg and Kohn's formula (for the ground-state energy of an inhomogeneous electron gas) in a modulated positive-background model. Dependence of the electronic excess energy on the modulation wavelength is studied. Two leading terms in the excess energy are examined to elucidate the limitation of this model.
