Abstract

An extension of our previously reported periodic cluster model (J. Phys. Chem. C 2008, 112, 6667-6676 ) to nanorings and nanobelts is presented. This new scheme allows for accurately calculating reasonably large nanostructures while preserving a very small number of optimization parameters. The model has been applied to a number of AlN semiconducting structures using ab initio pair potentials. Attention has been paid to the variation of the B1-B4 phase transition pressure as the the size of the structures is varied.
