The difficulty in defining the ionicity and bulk modulus lies in transforming a qualitative or verbal concept into a quantitative, mathematical formula. My works concentrated on using empirical pseudo-potential method (EPM) to calculate electronic properties (ionicity factor) ƒ i in terms of the difference between the first and second valence band at point X, Eg (V 2 -V 1 ), and making various formulas as a function of transverse effective charge e T *, nearest-neighbor distance d, cohesive energy E coh , and refractive index n 0 for giving the same ionicity factor. I had investigated for the structural properties (bulk modulus) B 0 a new models in terms of the cation part S C of the charge density, the transition pressure P t and the lattice parameter. This study has three essential goals: 1. Define the ionicity factor of the chemical bond in the semiconductors ANB8-N and the bulk modulus of the solids by the electronic band structure and charge density, respectively. 2. Establish a new scale and compare with others scales. 3. Study the validity of the new models under external effects; pressure, temperature and spin-orbit. Proposed work: The proposed work is related to study the physical properties and to develop the published scales in international journals of electronic and structural properties using ab initio methods within my presence at your laboratory and to present other jobs of prediction new structures by studying phase transition. The plan of work is to modify the models and gives precise calculations of structural, electronic, and other physical properties in materials by the suggested methods. The resources for achieving these works are computer of Pentium-IV or workstation with the collaboration of the team members. Impact of work: The reasonable and agreement results compared with experimental and theoretical results are obtained by the proposed methods will impetus us to accept the fact of idea reality. Theses works will present developed and advanced papers for the theoretical physics and modern industries for the applied sciences. 44/45 XXIV - SUMMARY Current field interests Modeling and simulation of semiconductors, Non-linear optical effects, Optoelectronic properties of solids by empirical, semi-empirical, and ab initio methods: Structural phase transformation, Electronic band structure and density of state of materials of simple and complex systems.
