Electrical conductivity and optical properties of ZnO nanostructured thin film

The electrical conductivity, structural and optical properties of ZnO nanostructured semiconductor thin film prepared by sol-gel spin coating method have been investigated. The X-ray diffraction result indicates that the ZnO film has the polycrystalline nature with average grain size of 28 nm. The optical transmittance spectrum indicates the average transmittance higher than 90% in visible region. The optical band gap, Urbach energy and optical constants (refractive index, extinction coefficient, real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant) of the film were determined. The electrical conductivity of the film dependence of temperature was measured to identify the dominant conductivity mechanism. The conductivity mechanism of the film is the thermally activated band conduction. The electrical conductivity and optical results revealed that the ZnO film is an n-type nanostructured semiconductor with a direct band gap of about 3.30 eV at room temperature.

First-principles investigation of electronic structure and optical properties in N-F codoped ZnO with wurtzite structure

The electronic structures and optical properties of pure, N-doped and N-F codoped ZnO are investigated based on the density-functional theory. The calculations of the impurity formation energies and ionization energies for these systems indicate that incorporating the reactive donor F into N doped ZnO systems, not only enhances the N acceptor solubility, but also leads to a shallower N acceptor energy level in the band gap in p-type codoped ZnO. In addition, we analyze the imaginary part of the dielectric functions, and reflectivities for pure and N-F codoped ZnO. Compared with the pure ZnO, the remarkable feature in the dielectric function for N-F codoped ZnO is that there is a sharp peak in the low-energy region.

First-principles study of electronic and optical properties in wurtzite Zn1-xCuxO

We perform a first-principles simulation to study the electronic and optical properties of wurtzite Zn1 xCuxO.The simulations are based upon the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof form of generalised gradient approximation within the density functional theory.Calculations are carried out in different concentrations.With increasing Cu concentration,the band gap of Zn1 xCuxO decreases due to the shift of valence band.The imaginary part of the dielectric function indicates that the optical transition between O 2p states in the highest valence band and Zn 4s states in the lowest conduction band shifts to the low energy range as the Cu concentration increases.Besides,it is shown that the insertion of Cu atom leads to redshift of the optical absorption edge.Meanwhile,the optical constants of pure ZnO and Zn0.75Cu0.25O,such as loss function,refractive index and reflectivity,are discussed.     

Solid-state reaction synthesis of boron carbonitride nanotubes

ZnO films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering at the substrate temperature of 120∼420°C. XRD measurements revealed the improvement of crystalline quality and grain size of the films with substrate temperature. The dielectric function of the films was determined by fitting the experimental transmission spectra with Tauc–Lorentz (TL) model and a single Lorentzian oscillator (SLO) dispersion function in the energy range of 1∼5 eV. The optical properties of the ZnO films strongly depended on the substrate temperature. The optical band gap and the Penn gap of the ZnO films increased with the substrate temperature. The band gap of the ZnO films indicated a direct interband transition between the valence and conduction band, and the change of the in-plane film stress promoted the enhancement of the band gap. These results of the optical properties of the ZnO films might be very meaningful to the application in the window design in solar cells.

Theoretical study on the band structure and optical properties of 4H-SiC

We have studied the band structure and optical properties of 4H-SiC by using a full potential linearized augmented plane waves (FPLAPW) method. The density of states (DOS) and band structure are presented. The imaginary part of the dielectric function has been obtained directly from the band structure calculation. With band gap correction, the real part of the dielectric function has been derived from the imaginary part by the Kramers－Kronig (KK) dispersion relationship. The values of reflectivity for normal incidence as a function of photon energy have also been calculated. We found the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Electronic and optical properties of ZnO thin film under in-plane biaxial strains: Ab initio calculation

The full regions of the electronic and optical properties of in-plane biaxial strained thin film ZnO are studied using pseudopotential plane-wave method. The fundamental band gap at the Γ point increase linearly with the increase of tensile strains, but decreased with the compressive ones. The strains affected the local tetrahedral symmetry, and so the splitting of crystal field energy. The band dispersion relation of the valence band maximum changes with the strains, which means the residual strains have effects on the effective hole mass, thus the transportation properties of the p-type ZnO. The changes tendency of optical properties up to full regions under strains have been shown and discussed.     

Influence of Tb incorporation on the structural and the optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles

Structural and optical properties of the Tb doped ZnO nanoparticles are systematically studied as a function of the Tb mole-fraction. Our study suggests that the Tb incorporates mostly on the surface and affects the optical properties of the ZnO nanoparticles by influencing the attachment of certain adsorbed groups, which are found to be responsible for the appearance of a broad green luminescence (GL) band in the photoluminescence spectra recorded for these nanoparticles. It has been found that the accumulation of Tb on the surface of the nanoparticles not only enhances the band edge to green luminescence intensity ratio under the vacuum condition but also increases the band gap energy by introducing a hydrostatic compressive strain in individual nanoparticles, which provides a unique opportunity to study the pressure dependence of the optical properties of nanoparticles without applying any external pressure. The hydrostatic compressive strain is explained in terms of the increase of the surface strain energy as a result of the Tb accumulation on the surface of the nanoparticles. The average value of the surface energy density for the particles has been estimated as a function of Tb mole-fraction. The pressure coefficient of the band gap which is obtained from the variation of the band gap energy with the hydrostatic strain has been found to decrease significantly with the particle size for the ZnO nanoparticles.
