Abstract

Indium compounds and corresponding epitaxially grown superlattices have provided good single crystals suitable for accurate experimental measurements and have added new interest to the study of the constituent bulk semiconductors and the II-IV-V2 chalcopyrite crystal phases. This paper reports results of structural and electronic properties of narrow gap binary and ternary semiconductors determined selfconsistently from first principles using both the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) and norm-conserving pseudopotentials (PP) total-energy methods.
