First-principles study of La and Sb-doping effects onelectronic structure and optical properties of SrTiO3

The effects of La and Sb doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of SrTiO 3 are investigated by first-principles calculation of the plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential based on density functional theory. The calculated results reveal that corner-shared TiO 6 octahedra dominate the main electronic properties of SrTiO 3 , and its structural stability can be improved by La doping. The La 3+ ion fully acts as an electron donor in Sr 0.875 La 0.125 TiO 3 and the Fermi level shifts into the conduction bands (CBs) after La doping. As for SrSb 0.125 Ti 0.875 O 3 , there is a distortion near the bottom of the CBs for SrSb 0.125 Ti 0.875 O 3 after Sb doping and an incipient localization of some of the doped electrons trapped in the Ti site, making it impossible to describe the evolution of the density of states (DOS) within the rigid band model. At the same time, the DOSs of the two electron-doped systems shift towards low energies and the optical band gaps are broadened by about 0.4 and 0.6 eV for Sr0.875La0.125TiO3 and SrSb0.125Ti0.875O3 , respectively. Moreover, the transmittance of SrSb0.125Ti0.875O3 is as high as 95% in most of the visible region, which is higher than that of Sr0.875La0.125TiO3 (85%). The wide band gap, the small transition probability and the weak absorption due to the low partial density of states (PDOS) of impurity in the Fermi level result in the significant optical transparency of SrSb0.125 Ti0.875 O3 .     

Effect of In-Doping on Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Sr2TiO4

The effect of In doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of Sr2 TiO4 is investigated by a firstprinciples calculation of plane wave ultrasoft pseudopotentials based on density functional theory. The calculated results reveal that corner-shared TiO6 octahedra dominate the main electronic properties of Sr2TiO4 and the covalency of the Ti-O（1） bond in the ab plane is stronger than that of the Ti-O（2） bond along the c-axis. After In doping, there is a little lattice expansion in Sr2In0.125 Ti0.875 O4 and the interaction between the Ti-O bond near the impurity In atom is weakened. The binding energies of Sr2TiO4 and Sr2In0.125Ti0.875O4 estimated from the electronic structure calculations indicate that the crystal structure of Sr2In0.125 Ti0.875 O4 is still stable after doping, but its stability is lower than that of undoped Sr2TiO4. Moreover, the valence bands （VBs） of the Sr2In0.125Ti0.875O4 system consist of O 2p and In 4d states, and the mixing of O 2p and In 4d states makes the top VBs shift significantly to high energies, resulting in visible light absorption. The adsorption of visible light is of practical importance for the application of St2 TiO4 as a photocatalyst.

Conductivity and water uptake of Sr4(Sr2Nb2)O11·nH2O and Sr4(Sr2Ta2)O11·nH2O

The hydrated oxygen deficient complex perovskite-related materials Sr₄(Sr₂Nb₂)O₁₁·nH₂O and Sr₄(Sr₂Ta₂)O₁₁·nH₂O were studied at high water vapour pressures over a large temperature range by electrical conductivity measurements, thermogravimetry (TG), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). In humid atmospheres both materials are known to exhibit protonic conductivity below dehydration temperatures, with peak-shaped maxima at about 500 °C. In this work we show that the peaks expand to plateaus of high conductivity from 500 to 700 °C at a water vapour pressure of 1 atm. However, in situ synchrotron XRPD of Sr₄(Sr₂Nb₂)O₁₁·nH₂O as a function of temperature shows that these observations are in fact coincident with melting and dehydration of a secondary phase Sr(OH)₂. The stability of Sr₄(Sr₂Nb₂)O₁₁·nH₂O and Sr₄(Sr₂Ta₂)O₁₁·nH₂O in humid atmospheres is thus insufficient, causing decomposition into perovskites with lower Sr content and SrO/Sr(OH)₂ secondary phases. This, in turn, rationalizes the observation of peaks and plateaus in the conductivity of these materials.

Preparation, structure and ferromagnetic properties of the nanocrystalline Ti1-xMnxO2 thin films grown by radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering

This paper reported that the Mn-doped TiO2 films were prepared by radio frequency （RF） magnetron cosputtering. X-ray diffraction measurements indicate that the samples are easy to form the futile structure, and the sizes of the crystal grains grow big and big as the Mn concentration increases. X-ray photoemlssion spectroscopy measurements and high resolution transmission electron microscope photographs confirm that the manganese ions have been effectively doped into the TiO2 crystal when the Mn concentration is lower than 21%. The magnetic property measurements show that the Ti1-xMnxO2 （x = 0.21） films are ferromagnetic at room temperature, and the saturation magnetization, coercivity, and saturation field are 16.0 emu/cm^3, 167.5 × 80 A/m and 3740 × 80 A/m at room temperature, respectively. The room-temperature ferromagnetism of the films can be attributed to the new futile Ti1-xMnxO2 structure formed by the substitution of Mn^4＋ for Ti^4＋ into the TiO2 crystal .lattice, and could be explained by O vacancy （Vo）-enhanced ferromagnetism model.

Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of La-Doped SrTiO3 and Sr2TiO4 by Density Function Theory

The effect of La doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of SrTiO₃ and Sr₂TiO₄ is investigated by the first-principles calculation of plane wave ultrasoft pseudopotential based on the density function theory (DFT). The calculated results reveal that the electron doping in the case of Sr_0.875La_0.125TiO₃ and Sr_1.875La_0.125TiO₄ can be described within the rigid band model. The La³⁺ ions fully acts as electron donors in Sr_0.875La_0.125TiO₃ and Sr_1.875La_0.125TiO₄ systems and the Fermi level shifts further into the conduction bands (CBs) for Sr_1.875La_0.125TiO₄ compared to Sr_0.875La_0.125TiO₃. The two systems exhibit n-type degenerate semiconductor features. At the same time, the density of states (DOS) of the two systems shift towards low energies and the optical band gaps are broadened. The Sr_1.875La_0.125TiO₄ is highly transparent with the transmittance about 90% in the visible range, which is larger than that of Sr_0.875La_0.125TiO₃(85%). The wide band gap, small transition probability and weak absorption due to the low partial density of states (PDOS) of impurity in the Fermi level result in the optical transparency of the films...

Influence of Lu2O3 on electrical and microstructural properties of CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics

In this work, the influence of Lu₂O₃ doped on the dielectric and electrical properties of CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂ was reported. Lu₂O₃-doped CCTO was prepared by a conventional solid state technique using CuO, TiO₂, and CaCO₃ as starting materials. The samples were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM); dielectric measurements were measured in the 10² Hz–10⁷ Hz frequency range at room temperature; and the nonlinear behavior of all samples was measured. The doping of Lu₂O₃ resulted in an increase in the dielectric constant of CCTO, but decreased the stability of the frequency dependence. Increasing concentrations of Lu₂O₃ resulted in decreasing nonlinear coefficients.

Ferroelectric-relaxor behavior of (Na0.5K0.5)NbO3-based ceramics

We report that ferroelectric-relaxor behavior is induced by doping of SrO and TiO₂, or BaO and TiO₂ into classic ferroelectric (Na_0.5K_0.5)NbO₃. It is found that [(Na_0.5K_0.5)_0.9Sr_0.1](Nb_0.9Ti_0.1)O₃ ceramics exhibit a pronounced ferroelectric-relaxor behavior, comparable to that of [(Na_0.5K_0.5)_0.9Ba_0.1](Nb_0.9Ti_0.1)O₃ ceramics. Our results indicate that the relaxor behavior is closely related to the appearance of micropolar regions in these systems. The relaxor behavior should arise from the dynamic response of micropolar clusters. Raman spectra of [(Na_0.5K_0.5)_1−xSr_x](Nb_1−xTi_x)O₃ ceramics measured in the wavenumber range from 100 to 1200 cm⁻¹ confirm that the first order scattering is dominant in phonon bands should result from both short-range ordered region (micropolar regions) and disordered matrix. The frequency dependence of dielectric permittivity measurements show that the relaxor behavior of SrO and TiO₂, or BaO and TiO₂ doped (Na_0.5K_0.5)NbO₃ ceramics is not a Debye type in the radio frequency range.

LiMn₂O₄的能带结构与实验比较也能够符合. 采用GGA+U方法对Al掺杂体系的LiAl_0.125Mn_1.875O₄的研究表明, 用Al替换一个Mn不会明显地改变晶体的电子性质, 但可以有效地消除Al³⁺O₆ 八面体的Jahn-Teller畸变, 从而改善正极材料LiMn₂O₄的性能, 这与电化学实验的观察结果相一致.     

Theoretical investigation of optical spectra and covalent effect of Cr in Y2Ti2O7 and Y2Sn2O7

In this work, the complete matrix of optical spectral levels in trigonal symmetry of 3d² (3d⁸) ions are established on basis of strong field coupling mechanism by using two spin–orbit coupling parameters model. The contribution of the spin–orbit coupling of ligand to the optical spectra has been included in these formulas. As an application, the optical spectra of Cr⁴⁺ in Y₂Ti₂O₇ and Y₂Sn₂O₇ have been studied by the complete diagonalization (energy matrix) method. The covalent effect has been studied and the difficulty about Dq parameter in explanation of optical spectra of Cr-doped Y₂Ti₂O₇ and Y₂Sn₂O₇ is removed. The theoretical results are in good agreement with observed data.

Photocatalytic behavior of heavy La-doped TiO2 films deposited by pulsed laser deposition using non-sintered target

We have investigated the control of photocatalytic behavior under deposited conditions of non-sintered target of different molar ratios with TiO₂ and La₂O₃ from 1:0 to 1:2 for heavily La doping, and post-annealing temperature from 600 °C to 1000 °C for crystallizing by pulsed laser deposition. We have successfully crystallized heavily La-doped TiO₂ films with post-annealing temperature over 800 °C and with molar ratio of TiO₂:La₂O₃ over 1:1 on a quartz substrate. Heavily La-doped TiO₂ films are observed the decomposition of methylene blue and a water-splitting reaction in photocatalytic behavior under Xe light irradiation. When stoichiometric La-doped TiO₂ (TiO₂:La₂O₃ = 1: 1) is synthesized with heat-treatment at 900 °C, the best results are obtained under photocatalytic behavior and pure La₂Ti₂O₇ crystalline were obtained.
