Popis: We present ab inito calculations of a realistic HfO"2/SiO"2/Si interface and discuss its structural and electronic properties. Calculations reveal a variety of possible non-epitaxial atomic arrangements at the interface, associated with a substantial atomic disorder in the SiO"2 and HfO"2 region. Calculated band alignment, although predictably smaller than experimental values, allows for instructive analysis of band gap variation, dipole formation and defects near the interface.
