O. Pulci et al., AB-INITIO CALCULATION OF THE REFLECTANCE ANISOTROPY OF SURFACES - THETRIANGLE METHOD, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 58(8), 1998, pp. 4721-4727
We modify the analytic linear tetrahedron method to calculate the opti
cal properties of surfaces. As st test case, the reflectance anisotrop
y of InP(110) is calculated within the density-functional theory in th
e local-density approximation. The convergence with respect to the num
ber of k points and the choice of the triangles is extensively discuss
ed. The resulting spectra are interpreted and compared with experiment
al results.
