Abstract
The electronic structure of twinning boundaries in AgBr microcrystals is ca lculated by employing the empirical pseudopotential method, within a superc ell implementation. Interface bound states inside the bulk band gap are fou nd in several cases, the most prominent being the one above the valence ban d top at the (M) over bar point of the interface Brillouin zone for the cat ionic interface.
