Parameter set "siband-1-1"
The SKFs here contain the electronic parameterisation of DFTB for Si and O and H. They are verified for electronic structure and permittivity of bulk Si and SiO2 and of extremely thin Si films (oxidised and hydrogenated), both for amorphous SiO2 and for alpha-quartz SiO2.
The set is intended to accurately describe electronic and dielectric properties of natively oxidised Si nanostructures, and for calculations of electron current in atomistic models of field-effect transistors. The key aspects of that are: low pressure diamond Si crystal and low pressure thermally grown, amorphous SiO2.
The set is unlikely to perform well for high-pressure phases of Si or SiO2, or at least -- it has not been verified for that.
Parameterisation details are reported in [1] below.
Maximimal angular momenta to be used: Si - d, O - p, H - s
