A new parametrization of the semiempirical quantum-chemical INDO method is proposed for the study of the electronic structure of a wide class of perfect and defective ionic insulating crystals. The applicability of the "cut-off function" concept for the calculations of exchange interactions in the large unit cell (LUC) model is also briefly discussed. Both, the proposed calculation scheme and the parametrization are tested on a number of molecules, ionic crystals (LiH, LiF, LiCl, KCI, MgO, K2S0,), and (100)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
