We present studies of the morphology and charge distribution at the 4H-SiC/wz-GaN heteropolar junctions. Our investigations are based on the first principles calculations in the framework of the density functional theory where the interfaces between the SiC substrate and GaN layers are represented by means of a slab. These studies reveal possible charge compensation patterns at the interfaces that lead to charge redistribution from monopole to dipole character and increase the stability of the junctions. It turns out that the interfaces with C-Ga and Si-Ga bonds across the junction and reconstructions involving substitution of group IV elements into Ga layer are the most favorable energetically.

Based upon the ab initio band structure calculations results and the density of states function of the orthorhombic In_4 Se_3 crystal as well as the experimental data concerning its radiative recombination, it was shown that the Bernard-Durafour condition is fulfilled for this crystal. The absorption coefficient α that exhibits a negative value in the given energy range and for the given concentrations of non-equilibrium charge carriers, was calculated.

The morphology, charge distribution and energetic stability of interfaces in the diamond/c-BN heteropolar junctions grown along [001] and [111] crystallographic directions are obtained from first principles calculations in the framework of density functional theory. It turns out that there exist reconstructions of the abrupt interfaces of the C and N adjacent layers (C-N type) that induce charge compensation and lead to the stabilization of the interfaces. On the contrary, our studies strongly suggest that analogous reconstructions of the abrupt interfaces of C and B adjacent layers (C-B type) are not energetically favorable and do not stabilize abrupt interfaces.

Changes in the atomic and electronic structure of Si- and C-terminated 4H-SiC{0001} surfaces resulting from aluminium and gallium adsorption have been studied within density functional theory framework. Al and Ga coverages ranging from a submonolayer to one monolayer were considered. Our results show that Al binds more strongly to both surfaces than Ga. The binding is stronger to the C-terminated surface for both metals. The sites occupied by Al and Ga atoms at 1 monolayer are different and it is due to a different charge transfer from metal to the substrate.

O_h^7, T_d^2 and O_h^5 symmetry crystals were discussed to demonstrate universality of the empty-lattice approximation to obtain the topology and symmetry of the elementary energy bands creating the valence band of those crystals and to predict a localization of the maximum of valence electron density distribution in the unit cell. The elaborated concept of the elementary energy bands was applied to the (GaAs)_5/(AlAs)_5 superlattice and ordered solid solution Pb_{0.5}Sn_{0.5}S.

The investigation of the ab initio band structure and the resulting spatial electron density distribution of the In-Se system in the framework of the density functional theory and the elementary energy bands concept is presented. It gives us reliable information about the valence band structure and peculiarities of the chemical bonding in these crystals. Some regularities in the evolution of the elementary energy bands topology is established, together with the choice of the actual Wyckoff position that is responsible for this topology and, at the same time, for the valence band formation in the InSe, In_2Se_3, In_4Se_3, and In_6Se_7 crystals. The calculated Mulliken charges and the degree of ionicity allow to estimate the character of chemical bonding in these crystals.

The influence of parameters of the dispersion law exhibiting a low-energy non-parabolicity for the In_{4}Se_{3} crystal on the plasma-electric effect occurring in the non-equilibrium plasma of this semiconductor was investigated under the circumstances that a longitudinal plasma wave propagates in its non-equilibrium plasma.

Studies on the phases of CuInP_{2}S_{6} crystal exhibiting phase transitions of the order-disorder type are performed. A possibility for the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect to occur in this crystal is analyzed. For this purpose, the procedure of constructing the potential energy matrix is generalized for the case of crystal and it is illustrated by the construction of the adiabatic potentials for Γ_{5}-Γ_{5} vibronic coupling for the proto- and paraelectric phases of CuInP_{2}S_{6}. The structure of the obtained potentials is analyzed together with the discussion on the appearance of spontaneous polarization in this crystal.

We investigate the morphology and charge distribution at the (001)-diamond/BN heteropolar junctions of the cubic materials. Our investigations are based on the first principles calculations in the framework of the density functional theory. These studies reveal that reconstruction of the interface leads to possible charge compensation at the interface and increases also the stability of the junction in comparison to the abrupt interfaces.

We investigate the self-consistent localized electron states which are related to charge carrier inhomogeneities in a TlGaSe₂ crystal, in the framework of the continuum and the deformational potential approaches. For this purpose a nonstandard dispersion law for charge carriers following from the ab initio band structure calculation of the considered crystal is utilized. It is shown that a formation of stable localized electron states with different bond energy, which are separated by the potential barrier, takes place. These states can be responsible for the occurrence of the deformational phase transition in the presence of the non-equilibrium charge carriers in TlGaSe₂.

We present a description of the symmetry-based method for the construction of the adiabatic potential of a symmetric molecule near the charged semiconductor surface. For this purpose, a transformation of the adiabatic potential of a free high symmetric molecule (D_{3d}) in the presence of uniform electric field is investigated. The obtained adiabatic potential is analyzed with respect to the stability of molecule in the vicinity of charged surface, as a dependence of its orientation in the electric field.

Based upon the ab initio band structure calculations results the dispersion law parameters of charge carriers of the orthorhombic In_4 Se_3 semiconductor as well as of its Sn- and Te-doped compounds were calculated. This allowed to estimate parameters of the electron condenson states in those compounds.

For three-dimensional charge carriers described by the dispersion law with quartic terms of the wave vector, the density of states function similar as in the one-dimensional case was determined. This similarity allows the Pekar and Dejgen condenson states in the continuum approximation to exist. The calculated phonon spectrum reveals optical vibrations of a very low frequency, which favours the electron-phonon interaction and creation of the condenson states.

First experimental investigations on absorption and photoluminescence of the novel Hg_{3}TeCl_{4} monocrystals grown by the Bridgman method are reported. A comparison of the measurement results with theoretical band structure calculations of the Hg_{3}TeCl_{4} crystal confirmed that Hg_{3}TeCl_{4} is a wide-band-gap photoconductor (E_{g}= 3.64 eV at 24 K) with the effective masses of charge carriers characteristic for semiconductors. Energetic position of the main photoluminescence peak and its temperature dependence indicates the presence of an additional energy level in the energy gap which takes part in the radiative recombination process and whose origin was discussed.
