Outline of Final Research Achievements

The principal investigator is studying the phase stabilization mechanism of alloys and compounds by evaluating electronic properties like itinerant valence electron concentration e/a in the context of first-principle electronic structure calculations. However, the approach above is developed in the reciprocal space and, thus, prevents us to evaluate the spatial distribution of valence electrons. The present research aims at calculating both charge distribution in real space and electronic properties in the reciprocal space for various compounds. This hopefully allows us to provide indispensable information about electrochemical effects, i.e., covalency and ionicity on top of metallicity. Our goal is to establish the basis on the interplay of these three bonding types in various binary compounds such as Zintl compounds and transition metal-Group XVI elements (S, Se, etc.), in which both e/a and charge transfer play a significant role in the van Arkel-Ketelaar triangle map.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

合金や化合物の物性は3つの結合形態、すなわち、金属結合、共有結合、そしてイオン結合の組み合わせで決まるといって過言ではない.その相対比が大切であるが、従来、これはvan Arkel-Ketelaar三角図でPaulingやAllenらが提案した電気陰性度を使って定性的に論じられてきた.本研究は、第一原理電子構造計算法を使ってこの3つの結合形態の相対比を理論的に論じることにより、フェルミ準位近傍の電子構造でその特性が決まる熱電変換材料などの開発研究の指針となりえる重要な成果を残した.その学術的そして社会的意義は大きいと自負している.
