Yf. Zhukovskii et al., QUANTUM-CHEMICAL SIMULATIONS OF FREE AND BOUND HOLE POLARONS IN CORUNDUM CRYSTAL, Computational materials science, 7(3), 1997, pp. 285-294
The semi-empirical method of the so-called intermediate neglect of dif
ferential overlap (INDO) has been applied to the calculations of the h
ole small-radius polarons in corundum crystals, Results for optimized
atomic and electronic structure using two different approaches (the mo
lecular cluster and periodic, supercell model) are critically compared
. It is shown that the main results are similar in both cases.
