def get_zn_te_slater_koster_model() -> sk_builder.models.SlaterKosterParameters:

Return the Slater-Koster parameters for Zinc Tellurium.

Zn / Te spd model from DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.72.045333 Units:

  • energies in eV
  • distances in Angstrom

NOTE: Since the model does not contain an s* orbital the orbital energy is set to the highest orbital energy of the spd orbitals and any hopping parameter to / from the s* orbital are zero. THIS IMPLIES THAT THE MODEL HAS A SPURIOUS FLAT BAND AT THIS ENERGY!

Returns:

SlaterKosterParameters: Slater-Koster parameters for Zinc Tellurium.
