Oy. Kontsevoi et al., REAL-SPACE FIRST-PRINCIPLES ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF EDGE DISLOCATIONS- NIAL, Philosophical magazine letters (Print), 78(5), 1998, pp. 427-433
The electronic structure of the [100]{010} edge dislocation in NiAl ha
s been calculated using the real-space tight-binding linear muffin-tin
orbital recursion method with a self-consistent treatment of electron
density redistribution effects in the dislocation core. We demonstrat
e that quasilocalized states may exist in this metallic system as a re
sult of specific lattice distortions in the dislocation core with 'bro
ken bonds'.
