压力对有机半导体均苯四甲酸晶体结构转变和电子性质的影响

研究高压条件下均苯四甲酸(C₁₀H₆O₈)材料的结构和性质对探索有机半导体材料的应用有积极意义.基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理赝势平面波方法，开展了0-300 GPa压强下C₁₀H₆O₈晶体的结构、电子和光学性质的研究.晶格常数在压强20 GPa和150 GPa下出现了明显跳变，且原子之间随着压强变化反复地出现成键/断键现象，表明压强可诱导晶体结构变化.电子结构的性质表明，0 GPa的C₁₀H₆O₈晶体是带隙为3.1 eV的直接带隙半导体，而压强增加到150 GPa时，带隙突变为0 eV,表明了晶体由半导体转变为导体.当压强为160 GPa时，晶体又变成了能隙约为1eV的间接带隙半导体，这可能是费米能级附近仅受O-2p轨道电子影响所导致.通过对C₁₀H₆O₈晶体介电函数的分析，再次验证了晶体在150 GPa时发生了结构相变.同时...     

First-principles investigation of the structural,optoelectronic and thermodynamic properties of InAsxP1-x ternary alloys under hydrostatic pressure effect

The main objective of our work is the study of structural, optoelectronic and thermodynamic properties of InAs_xP_1-x alloys in the zinc-blende structure using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW) based on density functional theory (DFT). Different exchange correlation potentials were used, as well as the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) parameterized by Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE-GGA) and PBE sol-GGA of Perdew, to estimate structural properties such as lattice parameters, the bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative. For electronic properties, the Tran-Blaha modified Becke–Johnson potential (TB-mBJ) was used for density of states (DOS) and band structure calculations. The results show that the compounds of interest are semiconductors with direct band gaps for the full range of x compositions and that the optical band gap decreases from 1.58 to 0.41 eV with increasing As concentrations. The obtained results show a good agreement with experimental and theoretical data found in the literature. In addition, we have investigated the dielectric function as well as the refractive index and the reflectivity. The electronic and optical properties were studied under hydrostatic pressure (P = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 GPa), and it was found that the band gaps of the binary compounds change from a direct to an indirect harmonic Debye model was used, which takes into account the effect of pressure P and temperature T on the lattice parameter, to explore the heat capacity, the Debye temperature and the entropy under pressures ranging from 0 to 20 GPa and temperatures ranging from 0 to 1200 K.     

Pressure induced phase transformations and band structure of different high pressure phases in tellurium

We report here high-pressure x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies on tellurium (Te) at room temperature up to 40 GPa in the diamond anvil cell (DAC). The XRD measurements clearly indicate a sequence of pressure-induced phase transitions with increasing pressure. The data obtained in the pressure range 1 bar to 40 GPa fit five different crystalline phases out of Te: hexagonal Te (I) → monoclinic Te(II) → orthorhombic Te (III) → Β-Po-type Te(IV) → body-centered-cubic Te(V) at 4, 6.2, 11 and 27 GPa, respectively. The volume changes across these transitions are 10%, 1.5%, 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively. Self consistent electronic band structure calculations both for ambient and high pressure phases have been carried out using the tight binding linear muffin tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method within the atomic-sphere approximation (ASA). Reported here apart from the energy band calculations are the density of states (DOS), Fermi energy (E _f) at various high-pressure phases. Our calculations show that the ambient pressure hexagonal phase has a band gap of 0.42 eV whereas high-pressure phases are found to be metallic. We also found that the pressure induced semiconducting to metallic transition occurs at about 4 GPa which corresponds to the hexagonal phase to monoclinic phase transition. Equation of state and bulk modulus of different high-pressure phases have also been discussed.

Evidence of a pressure-induced metallization process in monoclinic VO2

Raman and combined infrared transmission and reflectivity measurements were carried out at room temperature (RT) on monoclinic VO2 over the 0-19 GPa and 0-14 GPa pressure ranges. Both lattice dynamics and optical gap show a remarkable stability up to P* approximately 10 GPa whereas subtle modifications of V ion arrangements within the monoclinic lattice, together with the onset of a metallization process via band gap filling, are observed for P >P*. Differently from P=0, where the VO2 metallic phase is found only in conjunction with the rutile structure above 340 K, a new RT metallic phase within a monoclinic structure appears accessible in the high pressure regime.     

Structural and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressures

We studied the structural and electronic properties of carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressures based on molecular dynamics simulations and first principles band structure calculations. It is found that carbon nanotubes experience a hard-to-soft transition as external pressure increases. The bulk modulus of soft phase is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of hard phase. The band structure calculations show that band gap of (10, 0) nanotube increases with the increase of pressure at low pressures. Above a critical pressure (5.70GPa), band gap of (10, 0) nanotube drops rapidly and becomes zero at 6.62GPa. Moreover, the calculated charge density shows that a large pressure can induce an {sp}²-to-{sp}³ bonding transition, which is confirmed by recent experiments on deformed carbon nanotubes.     

Energy spectrum and phase transitions in C70 fullerite crystals at high pressure

Measurements have been made of the Raman, optical absorption, and luminescence spectra of single crystals and pellets of the fullerite C₇₀ at T=300 K and at pressures up to 12 GPa. The baric shift dω/dP and the Grüneisen parameters of the Raman-active intramolecular phonon modes have been determined. It has been established that the d ω/dP value for certain phonon modes abruptly changes at pressures of P ₁≈2 GPa and P ₂≈5.5 GPa, as do the half-widths of the Raman lines. These features in the Raman spectrum are associated with phase transitions at high pressure. The baric shifts of the absorption and luminescence edges of C₇₀ crystals have been determined and are −0.12 eV/GPa and −0.11 eV/GPa, respectively, for absorption and luminescence. The baric shift of the absorption edge decreases significantly with increasing pressure and is −0.03 eV/GPa at 10 GPa. These data have been used to determine the deformation potential of the fullerite C₇₀, which is about 2.1±0.1 eV. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 111, 262–273 (January 1997)     

压力及杂质氢对金属锂弹性特性的影响

针对六角密堆金属锂16个原子超晶胞(supercell)、填隙一个氢原子的周期单元，采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波-赝势方法，研究了零温条件下压力及填隙氢掺杂对体系弹性性质的影响.结果表明氢掺杂导致体系的体模量增加.常压下掺杂体系的弹性常数C₁₁，C₃₃，C₆₆和C₁₂高于单质体系，剪切模量C₄₄有所下降，而C₁₃则与单质体系持平.压力作用下C₁₁，C₃₃和C₆₆一直大于单质体系，但C₁₂的值低于单质体系.在2GPa—4GPa压力区间内，弹性常数C₁₃呈反常变化，小于单质体系；在高压区掺杂体系的C₄₄和C₁₃则高于单质体系的相应量值，压力导致掺杂体系和单质体系之间剪切模的偏离加剧.掺杂体系在压力作用下依然保持压缩模的各向同性，具有和单质体系相似的特性. 关键词： 第一性原理 压力效应 弹性常数 金属锂     

The band structure and electronic properties of sulphur nitride polymer

A semiempirical calculation of the energy band structure of (SN)_x has been made on a tight-binding model with three p orbitals per atom. An important feature is that the Fermi level crosses two overlapping conduction bands. Measurements are reported of the optical transmission spectrum between 0.2 and 4.0 eV in thin films, the free carrier reflectivity in thick films, and the hydrostatic pressure dependence of the conductivity to 15 kbar. The calculated band structure accounts for experimental results connected with interband transitions (optical absorption) and intraband effects (metallic conductivity, reflectivity, specific heat).     

Low-temperature time-resolved vacuum ultraviolet luminescent spectroscopy of KH2PO4 crystals with defects

Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) of unactivated KDP crystals under selective synchrotron excitation is for the first time measured with subnanosecond time resolution. Time-resolved PL (2–6 eV) and PL excitation (4–35 eV) spectra, as well as PL kinetics, are measured at 7 K. From the acquired experimental data, luminescent bands related to intrinsic defects of the KDP lattice are identified; in particular, the long-wave band at 2.6 eV is assigned to L defects, and the band at 3.5–3.6 eV is attributed to D defects. An efficient energy transfer over the hydrogen sublattice is shown to take place in KDP at low temperatures. It results in the efficient excitation of L and D center photoluminescence in the fundamental absorption region, at electron transitions to the bottom levels of the conduction band, corresponding to the states of the hydrogen atom. The band gap E _g is evaluated to be 8.0–8.8 eV.

利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理研究了高压下有序晶态γ’-Fe₄N合金的晶格动力学稳定性与磁性. 对比没有考虑磁性的γ’-Fe₄N的声子谱, 得出压力小于1 GPa时, 自发磁化诱导了铁磁相γ’-Fe₄N基态晶格动力学稳定. 压力在1.03-31.5 GPa时, Σ线上的点(0.37, 0.37, 0)、对称点X和M 上相继出现了声子谱软化现象. 压力在31.5-60.8 GPa时, 压致效应与自发磁化对诸原子的作用达到了稳定平衡, 表现出了声子谱稳定. 压力大于61.3 GPa时, 随着压力的增大压力诱导体系动力学不稳定性越强. 通过软模相变理论对于γ’-Fe₄N, 在10 GPa下的声学支声子的M点处软化现象的处理, 发现了动力学稳定的高压新相P2/m-Fe₄N. 压力小于1 GPa时高压新相P2/m-Fe₄N 是热力学稳定的相, 且磁矩与γ’-Fe₄N的磁矩几乎相同. 2.9-19 GPa时, P2/m相的焓比γ’相的焓小, 基态结构更稳定. 大于20 GPa时, 两相磁矩几乎相同.     

First principles study of pressure induced structural phase transition in hydrogen storage material—MgH2

First principles calculation were performed using Vienna ab-initio simulation package within the frame work of density functional theory (DFT) to understand the electronic properties of magnesium hydride. At normal pressure, the most stable structure of MgH₂ is rutile type with a wide band gap of 3.52 eV, which agrees well with the available data. A pressure induced semi-conductor to metallic transition at a pressure of 92.54 GPa is predicted. Our results indicate a sequence of pressure induced structural phase transition in MgH₂. The obtained sequence of phase transition was α→γ→β→δ→ε at a pressure of 0.37 GPa, 3.89 GPa,7.23 GPa and 11.26 GPa, respectively. Thus our results indicate that MgH₂ is one of the best hydrogen storage material and the maximum storage capacity achieved was 7.7%.     

Pressure‐induced phase transitions in L‐leucine crystal

Raman spectra of a crystal of L ‐leucine, an essential amino acid, were obtained for pressures between 0 and 6 GPa. The results show anomalies at three pressure values, one between 0 and 0.46 GPa, another between 0.8 and 1.46 GPa, and a third at P ∼ 3.6 GPa. The first two anomalies are characterized by the disappearance of lattice modes (which can indicate occurrence of phase transitions), the appearance of several internal modes, or the splitting of modes of high wavenumbers. The changes of internal modes are related to CH and CH₃ unit motions as well as hydrogen bonds, as can be inferred from the behavior of bands associated with CO₂⁻ moieties. The third anomaly is a discrete change of the slopes of the wavenumber versus pressure plots for most modes observed. Further, decompression to ambient pressure generates the original Raman spectrum, showing that the pressure‐induced anomalies undergone by L ‐leucine crystals are reversible.

Metallic liquid hydrogen and likely Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> metallic glass

Dynamic compression has been used to synthesize liquid metallic hydrogen at 140 GPa (1.4 million bar) and experimental data and theory predict Al₂O₃ might be a metallic glass at ∼ 300 GPa. The mechanism of metallization in both cases is probably a Mott-like transition. The strength of sapphire causes shock dissipation to be split differently in the strong solid and soft fluid. Once the 4.5-eV H-H and Al-O bonds are broken at sufficiently high pressures in liquid H₂ and in sapphire (single-crystal Al₂O₃), electrons are delocalized, which leads to formation of energy bands in fluid H and probably in amorphous Al₂O₃. The high strength of sapphire causes shock dissipation to be absorbed primarily in entropy up to ∼400 GPa, which also causes the 300-K isotherm and Hugoniot to be virtually coincident in this pressure range. Above ∼400 GPa shock dissipation must go primarily into temperature, which is observed experimentally as a rapid increase in shock pressure above ∼400 GPa. The metallization of glassy Al₂O₃, if verified, is expected to be general in strong oxide insulators. Implications for Super Earths are discussed.     

Crystalline and amorphous states in Zn-Sb and Cd-Sb alloys at high pressure

The structures of Zn-Sb and Cd-Sb alloys at high pressures up to 15 GPa are investigated by means of a diamond anvil. It is shown that the equiatomic compounds ZnSb and CdSb decompose at elevated pressures with the formation of a new high-pressure phase containing ∼60 at. % Sb with segregation of any Zn or Cd in excess with respect to antimony. The high-pressure phase has a simple hexagonal structure. Plots of the pressure dependence of the volume, the lattice parameters, and the axis ratio c/a are constructed for the phase in the Cd-Sb system. It is shown that the alloys amorphize when the load is removed. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 39, 1509–1512 (September 1997)
