摘要: Structural models used in calculations of properties substitutionally random ${\mathit{A}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$${\mathit{B}}_{\mathit{x}}$ alloys are usually constructed by randomly occupying each the N sites a periodic cell A or B. We show that it is possible to design ``special quasirandom structures'' (SQS's) mimic for small (even N=8) first few, physically most relevant radial correlation functions perfectly structure far better than standard technique does. demonstrate usefulness these SQS's calculating optical and thermodynamic number semiconductor local-density formalism.
