Using these one‐particle QD‐states, dipole and Coulomb matrix elements can be calculated, from which the optical properties of these systems can be obtained. These TB calculations have been performed for nitride‐based QDs with a cubic zincblende structure and those with a wurtzite crystal structure. In this paper, we discuss the general methodology used and the results obtained for the electronic one‐particle states and energies, for the dipole and Coulomb matrix elements, and for the excitonic optical emission and absorption spectra.</jats:p>}},

Firstly, the phonon modes of bulk and of the (0001) surface are calculated by means of the density functional theory. Our calculations reveal the existence of localised vibrational modes both at the positive and at the negative surface. The surface vibrations are found at energies above and within the bulk bands. Phonon modes localised at the positive and at the negative surface differ substantially. In a second step, the Raman spectra of LiNbO3 bulk and of the two surfaces have been measured.
