description

Abstract The semi-empirical method of the so-called intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) has been applied to the calculations of the hole small-radius polarons in corundum crystals. Results for optimized atomic and electronic structure using two different approaches (the molecular cluster and periodic, supercell model) are critically compared. It is shown that the main results are similar in both cases.
