Computing LDOS resonance energy shifts of monatomic doped chains

Abstract

An analytical method to compute the LDOS energy spectrum and stationary states for finite size doped monatomic chains modelled by an effective one-dimensional tight-binding hamiltonian is presented. It is based on the formal solution of linear second order recurrence relations. We also study the LDOS energy spectrum of some doped monatomic chains applying a perturbative approach to the characteristic equation of the reference metallic structure doped with a few extraneous atoms.
