Electronic Band Properties of the Ba sub (n+1) Pb sub n O sub (3n+1) Series
01 January 1990
A combination of linear augmented-plane-wave and tight-binding (TB) techniques has been applied to calculate the electronic band structures of selected members of the Ba sub (n+1) Pb sub n O sub (3n+1) homologous series. The results show that the two end members of this series, Ba sub 2 PbO sub 4 (n=1) and BaPbO sub 3 (n=approaches infinity), exhibit semiconducting and metallic properties, respectively.
