Description
Summary:Geometrical parameters (coordinates and angles) of CeO2 crystal lattice by molecular dynamics method are calculated. Calculated parameters of crystal lattice are applied for definition the energy band structure via Hartree-Fock method in an approximation to CO LCAO (crystal orbitals as linear combination of atomic orbitals) and using the model of cyclic cluster. Calculated minimum energy band p-d is within the value range of experimental data. Valence band maximum is 4.2 while minimum energy band p-d width is 2.8 eV Quantum-chemical calculations are accelerated by Schwarz inequality and direct inversion method in iterative subspace. The obtained mathematical model is implemented into software package for calculating material properties.
