Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The valence-electron density distribution of the average structure of incommensurately modulated calaverite, AuTe2, has been computed using density-functional theory. High-density regions, centered around the Au and Te atoms, are not spheric, but present charge concentrations along the Au-Te and Te-Te bonds. The electronic band structure and its corresponding density of states reveal the presence of three electronic band groups, constituted mainly by Te 5s, Au 5d and hybrids of Te 6p + Au 6s + Au 5d orbitals. The electrons belonging to the last block are responsible for the chemical bonds.
