形变Si,Ge中的深能级

对生长在合金衬底上的形变Si或Ge中由替位原子或空位缺陷产生的深能级进行了研究。其中形变体材料的电子结构用经验的紧束缚方法进行计算,缺陷能级采用格林函数法进行计算出。结果表明,晶格中的形变使原来类p的T₂能级发生分裂,其数值随形变的增加而增大。形变还造成Si和Ge的价带顶有较大的上升,从而使某些杂质的缺陷能级由深能级变为共振能级。 关键词：     

MoS2中S原子空位形成的非绝热动力学研究

缺陷是半导体领域中最核心的问题.采用含时密度泛函方法,模拟了S原子脱离MoS₂晶格形成空位缺陷过程中的电子动力学行为,发现该过程中存在显著的非绝热效应.非绝热效应导致S原子需要消耗更多能量以脱离晶格形成空位缺陷.随着S原子的初始动能增大,其脱离晶格形成空位的能量势垒也持续增大,并且在初始动能达到22 eV附近时发生了阶跃式的增长.这是由朗道-齐纳电子跃迁和能级间库仑作用共同导致的.非绝热效应还改变了脱离晶格的S原子上电荷的轨道分布,以及晶格中缺陷附近的电荷分布.此外,还发现该过程中自旋轨道耦合十分重要,必须被考虑.本文阐明了MoS₂中S原子空位的形成机制,尤其是电子非绝热动力学的重要作用,为进一步研究缺陷对材料物理性质的调控提供了理论基础.     

阳离子空位磁矩起因探讨

运用群论和分子轨道理论的方法, 系统地研究了非掺杂磁性半导体中阳离子空位产生磁矩的原因, 并用海森堡模型阐明了磁矩之间的交换耦合机理. 研究发现: 阳离子空位磁矩的大小与占据缺陷能级轨道的未配对电子数有关, 而缺陷能级的分布与空位的晶场对称性密切相关; 通过体系的反铁磁状态和铁磁状态下的能量差估算交换耦合系数J₀, 交换耦合系数J₀的正负可以用来预测磁矩之间的耦合是否为铁磁耦合:J₀>0, 则表明磁矩之间的耦合为铁磁耦合, 反之为反铁磁耦合. 最后指出空位的几何构型发生畸变(John-Teller效应)的原因: 缺陷能级轨道简并度的降低与占据缺陷能级轨道的电子的数目有直接的关系.     

Si中D3d对称性态密度分布和缺陷对电子结构

本文考虑了晶体中总的电子态密度在低对称性下用点群不可约表示基函数分解的问题,并给出了Si中用D_3d群不可约表示基函数分解最近邻两原子总态密度的计算结果。结合在位势近似Koster-Slater格林函数方法,文中将计算结果用于Si中双空位和硫属元素杂质对(S₂⁰,Se₂⁰和Te₂⁰)缺陷态电子结构的讨论。讨论得到的结果是:与点缺陷和缺陷对的深缺陷态对称性相匹配的部分态密度的分布是相似的;在态密度对缺陷能级的驱赶作用下,S₂⁰等的A^s能级在A^s能级之上,双空位的E_g能级在E_u能级之上,这种情况与通常双原子分子成反键能级位置完全相反;所讨论的缺陷对的波函数在Bloch空间的分布情况与对应的点缺陷类似。 关键词：

Recent progress in simulation of the ground state of many Boson systems

We present two recent advances in the simulation of ⁴He in the condensed phase at zero temperature. Within the variational theory of strongly interacting bosons we have studied a cluster of ⁴He atoms with one alkali ion K⁺. For the wave function we have used a new shadow wave function (SWF) in which the coupling between one ⁴He atom and its shadow variable depends on its distance from the ion. This substantially improves the energy. The first shell around the ion contains 14 atoms which are spatially ordered. However the atoms of the first shell are not completely localized and frequent exchanges with atoms which are further from the ion take place. This also suggests that at least for the ion K⁺ the atoms of the first shell participate in the superfluidity. We have also introduced a new extension of the path integral ground state (PIGS) method which is able to compute exact ground state expectation values without extrapolations and with a SWF as the trial variational wave function to project on the ground state. This is an important extension which opens up the possibility of studying disorder phenomena in the solid phase by an exact method at zero temperature. We have applied this technique to compute the energy of formation of a vacancy at different densities in the solid phase of ⁴He. This computation confirms the variational result that a vacancy is a delocalized defect in the low density helium solid.     

Si中深能级T2对称波函数理论

木文在文献[5,6]所发展的在位缺陷势格林函数方法基础上,进一步讨论Si中短程缺陷势引入的T₂对称深能级波函数性质。第一次给出了Si禁带中部很宽能量范围之内T_2对称波函数的完整数据。波函数在缺陷最近邻四个格点的占据几率P₁有一高达50％以上峰值。该部分相当于四个最近邻格点指向缺陷的杂化轨道准悬键的T₂组合。第0,1,2三个格点壳层波函数占据几率之和约为70％。波函数其余部分较平缓地分布在一相当大空间。波函数的以上特征与禁带中部能量位置关系不灵敏。但在靠近导带E_c和满带E_v的浅能量区,以上P₁峰趋于消失,整个波函数在空间的分布趋于平坦。Si空位在禁带引入一个T₂对称深能级,位于E_v以上0.51eV处。 关键词：     

First-principle calculation on the defect energy level of carbon vacancy in 4H--SiC

First, electronic structures of perfect wurtzite 4H-SiC were calculated by using first-principle ultra-soft pseudo- potential approach of the plane wave based on the density functional theory; and the structure changes, band structures, and density of states were studied. Then the defect energy level of carbon vacancy in band gap was examined by substituting the carbon in 4H-SiC with carbon vacancy. The calculated results indicate the new defect energy level generated by the carbon vacancy, and its location in the band gap in 4H-SiC, which has the character of deep acceptor. A proper explanation for green luminescence in 4H-SiC is given according to the calculated results which are in good agreement with our measurement results.

A first-principles theoretical simulation on the electronic structures and optical absorption properties for O vacancy and Ni impurity in TiO2 photocatalysts

The band structures and optical absorption spectra of O vacancy and Ni ion doped anatase TiO₂ were successfully calculated and simulated by a plane wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory (DFT). From the calculated results, a phenomenon of “impurity compensation” was found: the lower formation energy for O vacancy than Ni impurity indicated that introducing the intrinsic defect of O vacancy into Ni ion doped TiO₂ sample was very possible; the positive binding energy for the combination of O vacancy and Ni impurity indicated that two defects were apt to bind to each other; While Ni impurity produced the donor levels in the forbidden band of TiO₂, Ni impurity with O vacancy produced the acceptor levels upon which the excitation led to the photogenerated electrons with high energy and transferability. The combination of absorption spectra for O vacancy and Ni impurity with O vacancy models could reproduce the experimental measurement very well.     

Vacancy defects induced in sintered polished UO2 disks by helium implantation

Vacancy defects have been investigated in sintered polished and annealed uranium oxide disks. Slow positron beam coupled with Doppler broadening spectrometer was used to probe the track region of 1 MeV ³He ions implanted in uranium dioxide (UO₂) disks. The low and high momentum annihilation fractions, S and W, respectively, were measured in the first micrometer near surface region of the disks as a function of positron energy. The S and W values indicate that the 1 MeV He ions induce vacancy defects in the track region of their range. The vacancy defect depth distribution is heterogeneous. The positron trapping at these vacancy defects increases with the depth and with the implantation fluence indicating an increase of the vacancy defect concentration. The nature of the induced vacancy defects does not change with the fluence.     

Quantum Monte Carlo study of the optical and diffusive properties of the vacancy defect in diamond

Fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations of the ground and excited state energetics of the neutral vacancy defect in diamond are reported. The multiplet structure of the defect is modeled using guiding wave functions of the Slater-Jastrow type with symmetrized multideterminant Slater parts. For the ground state we obtain the 1E state in agreement with experiment. The calculated energy of the lowest dipole allowed transition is consistent with the experimentally observed GR1 band, which has long been identified with the neutral vacancy in diamond, although no previous first-principles ab initio calculation of this transition exists. The calculated multiplet splitting of over 2 eV indicates the importance of a proper treatment of electron exchange and correlation in this system. DMC calculations of the formation and migration energy of the vacancy defect are presented.     

Influence of the relative magnitude of the Jahn-Teller effect and level splitting in a cubic crystal field on the properties of the ground state of vacancy defects in semiconductors

The spatial structure of a vacancy and the properties of its electronic energy levels in a semiconductor with a lattice possessing point symmetry T _d are considered for an arbitrary relationship between the Jahn-Teller stabilization energy (associated with the F ₂ vibrational mode) and the t ₂-a ₁ splitting (Δ) caused by the cubic crystal field. The position of the minimum of the adiabatic potential and the distortion of the electronic density are calculated for the vacancy ground state for different relative values of Δ and coupling constants of the vacancy to the F ₂ vibrational mode. It is shown that, if the ground state of a carrier bound to a vacancy is a t ₂ state, the trigonal symmetry of the environment of the vacancy persists for any values of Δ, but the amount of displacements of atoms near the vacancy and the localization of the wave function of the bound carrier on the broken bond earmarked by the Jahn-Teller effect can depend heavily on Δ and are maximal at Δ → 0. This is also the case when the ground state of the vacancy is the a ₁ state, but the magnitude of Δ does not exceed a certain value, which is determined by the coupling constants and the elastic constant. The relation between Δ and the coupling constants is also shown to affect the properties of trigonal vacancy-shallow-donor complexes. For these complexes, calculations are performed of the dependence of the dipole direction determining the optical properties of the vacancy defect on the distortion of vacancy orbitals caused by the donor entering into the complex.     

Positron studies of hydrogen-defect interactions in proton irradiated molybdenum

Molybdenum single crystals are irradiated at 20 K with 6 MeV protons. The radiation damage and lattice defect annealing is studied by positron lifetime spectroscopy in the temperature range from 15 to 720 K. Loss of vacancies due to recombination with mobile interstitials is observed at 40 K (Stage I) in agreement with resistivity measurements. This is the first time Stage I is observed by positrons below 77 K. The implanted hydrogen decorates the vacancies around 100 K, which is consistent with a hydrogen migration energy in molybdenum:E _M ^H = 0.3–0.4 eV. Clustering of spatially correlated vacancies takes place in a wide temperature region below the usual vacancy clustering stage (Stage III). Stage III is observed at rather low temperatures (400–480 K) due to the very high vacancy concentration. Hydrogen bound to vacancies and vacancy clusters is released above 540 K, which puts an upper limit to the hydrogen binding energy:E _B ^H 1.4 eV. The present work emphasizes the advantage of employing a vacancy sensitive technique to study hydrogen in metals, where its intrinsic solubility is low. In such metals (as molybdenum) both the effective solubility and the effective mobility of hydrogen are strongly influenced by the presence of vacancies.     

Scattering of protons by <Superscript>9</Superscript>B and <Superscript>10</Superscript>B isotopes at intermediate energies in the diffraction theory

Differential cross sections of the elastic scattering of protons of intermediate energies by ⁹B and ¹⁰B nuclei are calculated within the Glauber theory. The matrix elements of elastic scattering are derived with a wave function in the three-particle 2αp-model (for ⁹B) and with an oscillatory wave function (for ¹⁰B). The differential cross-sections are calculated with allowance for the triple collisions on ⁹B nuclei and in the approximation of double collisions on ¹⁰B nuclei. The sensitivity of the differential cross-section to the ⁹B nucleus structure is analyzed. The differential cross section of ¹⁰B at E = 197 MeV is compared to the results from calculations using the distorted wave method.
