用第一性原理研究K空位对KDP晶体激光损伤的影响

 用基于密度泛函理论及超软赝势的第一性原理研究了KH­­­₂PO₄(KDP)晶体中K空位的电子结构、形成能及驰豫构型。讨论了K空位形成后电荷密度的重新分布、相应的电子态密度和能带结构等性质。计算得到中性K空位的形成能为6.5 eV, 远小于间隙K原子点缺陷形成能13.07 eV。K空位的存在使晶胞体积增大, 分别沿结晶学轴a方向增大近0.8%, b方向增大近0.87%, c方向增大近1.2%，同时使与之配位的8个氧原子发生较大位移，使这8个氧形成的空腔体积增大近3.2%。空腔体积的增大不仅促进了各种点缺陷的扩散迁移，而且有利于其它杂质原子的填隙。K原子迁移率的增大会引起离子电导率的增大，因而会降低KDP的激光损伤阈值，因此从这个方面讲，K空位的存在是不利的。但是如果能从实验上（如热退火）利用K空位所造成的扩散通道排出或改善缺陷结构，则可提高KDP晶体的光学质量。

KDP晶体本征中性点缺陷的第一性研究

 用第一性原理研究了KH2PO4(KDP)晶体中性本征点缺陷的形成能并计算了常温下点缺陷的浓度。计算得到中性填隙氢原子的形成能为2.05 eV，进而得到298 K下的浓度约为1.21×10^-17 mol/L。由于填隙氢原子在带隙中形成缺陷能级，并使能隙降低了2.6 eV, 因此消除填隙氢原子有利于提高晶体在355 nm附近的激光损伤阈值。计算得到的氧间隙、氧空位、钾空位和氢空位的形成能分别为0.60、5.25、6.50 和6.58 eV，常温下它们在晶体中也以较高的浓度存在。钾空位使晶胞体积增大约3.2%，并可能提高晶体电导率，从而降低光损伤阈值。P取代K的反位结构缺陷形成能尽管较低(4.1 eV), 但由于晶体生长溶液中P是以PO4四面体的形式存在，故此点缺陷的存在几率很小。     

第一性原理研究KDP晶体中Ba取代K点缺陷

Study on the defect of sulfur substituting for phosphorus in potassium dihydrogen phosphate

The electronic structure and geometric distribution of neutral and charge states of the point defect sulfur substituting for phosphorus (S_p) in potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH₂PO₄) have been investigated using a first-principles method. The energy gap is lowered to about 2.2 eV and 6.5 eV from the Density Function Theory (DFT) value of 7.3 eV by a -2 charge and neutral state, respectively. However, no defect states appear in the energy gap for the +1, -1, and +2 charge states of the S_p defect. The results show that the defects S_p with neutral and -2 charge states might contribute to the transient optical absorption under the high energy laser irradiation.     

Defect-Induced intrinsic magnetism in wide-gap III nitrides

Cation-vacancy induced intrinsic magnetism in GaN and BN is investigated by employing density-functional theory based electronic structure methods. The strong localization of defect states favors spontaneous spin polarization and local moment formation. A neutral cation vacancy in GaN or BN leads to the formation of a net moment of 3 muB with a spin-polarization energy of about 0.5 eV at the low density limit. The extended tails of defect wave functions, on the other hand, mediate surprisingly long-range magnetic interactions between the defect-induced moments. This duality of defect states suggests the existence of defect-induced or mediated collective magnetism in these otherwise nonmagnetic sp systems.     

六方氮化硼单层中一种(CN)3VB缺陷的第一性原理计算

二维六方氮化硼(hBN)的点缺陷最近被发现可以实现室温下的单光子发射,而成为近年的研究热点.尽管其具有重要的基础和应用研究意义,hBN中发光缺陷的原子结构起源仍然存在争议.本文采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算,研究hBN单层中一种B空位附近3个N原子被C替代的缺陷(CN)3VB.在hBN的B空位处,3个N原子各自带一个在平面内的悬挂键及相应的未配对电子,而通过C替换可以消除未配对的电子.系统研究了(CN)3VB缺陷的几何结构、电子结构以及光学性质,结果表明,缺陷可以由一个对称的亚稳态经过原子结构弛豫变成1个非对称的、3个C原子连在一起的基态结构.缺陷的形成在hBN中引入了一些由缺陷悬挂σ键及重构的π键贡献的局域缺陷态.这些缺陷态可以导致能量阈值在2.58 eV附近的可见光内部跃迁.本文的工作有助于进一步理解hBN中点缺陷的构成及光学性质,为实验上探讨发光点缺陷的原子结构起源及其性质提供理论依据.     

Near infrared absorption of Si nanoparticles embedded in silica films

The absorption coefficient of Si nanoparticles embedded in a silica matrix obtained through thermal annealing at 1000 °C of SiO thin films has been determined by a combination of ellipsometry and photothermal deflection spectroscopy. The high absorption level below 2 eV was explained by the superposition of the contribution of: (i) extended states and distorted bond states (Urbach tail), giving rise to an exponential regime of the variation of the absorption coefficient on energy and (ii) point defect states. The value of the characteristic energy of the exponential regime was found above 200 meV. This high value was partly related to the high stress present at the np-Si/SiO₂ interface. The point defects were attributed to dangling bonds and induced an additional absorption band located near 1.2 eV contributing to above 100 cm⁻¹ to the absorption at this energy.     

Low temperature photoluminescence study of Ga As defect states

Low temperature(77 K)photoluminescence measurements have been performed on different GaAs substrates to evaluate the GaAs crystal quality.Several defect-related luminescence peaks have been observed,including 1.452 eV,1.476 eV,1.326 eV peaks deriving from 78 meV Ga_(As) antisite defects,and 1.372 eV,1.289 eV peaks resulting from As vacancy related defects.Changes in photoluminescence emission intensity and emission energy as a function of temperature and excitation power lead to the identification of the defect states.The luminescence mechanisms of the defect states were studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy and the growth quality of GaAs crystal was evaluated.     

Electrically deactivating nearest-neighbor donor-pair defects in Si

Based on first-principles density-functional calculations, we propose a class of nearest-neighbor donor pairs that are energetically favorable in highly n-type Si. These donor pairs comprise dopant atoms either fourfold coordinated at the nearest-neighbor distance or threefold coordinated through bond-breaking relaxations. For P and As dopants, the two defect states are very close in energy, less than 0.1 eV, while the threefold coordinated state is more stable by 0.24 eV for Sb dopants. The former state has a very deep donor level close to the valence band maximum, while the defect level lies deep inside the valence band for the latter. Thus, both the donor pairs are electrically inactive at very high doping levels, and they are suggested to be responsible for the observed saturation of carriers.

First principle study of nitrogen vacancy in aluminium nitride

In the framework of density functional theory, using the plane-wave pseudopotential method, the nitrogen vacancy ($V_{\rm N})$ in both wurtzite and zinc-blende AlN is studied by the supercell approach. The atom configuration, density of states, and formation energies of various charge states are calculated. Two defect states are introduced by the defect, which are a doubly occupied single state above the valance band maximum (VBM) and a singly occupied triple state below the conduction band minimum (CBM) for wurtzite AlN and above the CBM for zinc-blende AlN. So $V_{\rm N}$ acts as a deep donor in wurtzite AlN and a shallow donor in zinc-blende AlN. A thermodynamic transition level $E({3 + } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{3 + } + }} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} + )$ with very low formation energy appears at 0.7 and 0.6eV above the VBM in wurtzite and zinc-blende structure respectively, which may have a wide shift to the low energy side if atoms surrounding the defect are not fully relaxed. Several other transition levels appear in the upper part of the bandgap. The number of these levels decreases with the structure relaxation. However, these levels are unimportant to AlN properties because of their high formation energy.     

Formation energies and electronic structures of native point defects in potassium dihydrogen phosphate

The formation energies and the equilibrium concentration of vacancies,interstitial H,K,P,O and antisite structural defects with P and K in KH 2 PO 4 (KDP) crystals are investigated by ab initio total-energy calculations.The formation energy of interstitial H is calculated to be about 2.06 eV and we suggest that it may be the dominant defect in KDP crystal.The formation energy of an O vacancy (5.25 eV) is much higher than that of interstitial O (0.60 eV).Optical absorption centres can be induced by defects of O vacancies,interstitial O and interstitial H.We suggest that these defects may be responsible for the lowering of the damage threshold of the KDP.A K vacancy defect may increase the ionic conductivity and therefore the laser-induced damage threshold decreases.     

Identification of the phosphorus-doping defect in MgS as a potential qubit

The P_S defect is obtained by replacing one S atom with one P atom in the wide-bandgap semiconductor MgS. Based on first-principles calculations, the formation energy, defect levels, and electronic structure of the P_S defect in different charge states are evaluated. We predict that the neutral P_S⁰ and positively charged P_S⁺¹ are the plausible qubit candidates for the construction of quantum systems, since they maintain the spin conservation during optical excited transition. The zero-phonon lines at the P_S⁰ and P_S⁺¹ defects are 0.43 eV and 0.21 eV, respectively, which fall in the infrared band. In addition, the zero-field splitting parameter D of the P_S⁺¹ with spin-triplet is 2920 MHz, which is in the range of microwave, showing that the P_S⁺¹ defect can be manipulated by microwave. Finally, the principal values of the hyperfine tensor are examined, it is found that they decay exponentially with the distance from the defect site.
