Ti_3AC_2相(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)电子结构、弹性性质的第一性原理研究

采用第一性原理的密度泛函理论平面波赝势法,通过广义梯度近似研究了Ti_3AC_2相(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)的相结构、能量、电子结构和弹性性质.首先对六方晶相结构的Ti_3AC_2(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)四个相进行几何优化,对其能带结构、总态密度、分态密度和电荷密度分布以及弹性性质进行研究,并计算各相的内聚能与形成能.计算结果表明:Ti_3GeC_2较其他三相稳定,Ti_3AlC_2的形成能最低,说明Ti_3AlC_2较Ti_3SiC_2,Ti_3SnC_2和Ti_3GeC_2更易生成;Ti_3AC_2(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)各相在费米能级处的电子态密度较高,材料表现出较强的金属性,同时各相的导电性为各向异性.Ti_3AC_2(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)各相的导电性主要由Ti的3d电子决定,A(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)的p态电子和C的2p态电子也有少量贡献.决定材料电学性质的主要是Ti的3d,A的P和C的2P态电子的P-d电子轨道杂化,而P-d电子轨道杂化成键则使材料具有比较稳定的结构;对Ti_3AC_2相(A=Si,Sn,Al,Ge)弹性性质的研究表明Ti_3AlC_2的原子间结合力较弱,而Ti_3GeC_2的原子间结合力相对较强,材料的强度较大.

吸附Al,Sn后Si(111)面的电子结构及其比较

通过对吸附原子和衬底Si原子由于相互作用而产生的轨道交叠占有几率(OOP)和集团态密度的分析发现吸附Al和吸附Sn的Si(111)面能带中电子的占据状态很不一样,Si(111)3^1/2×3^1/2-Sn中有一个半充满的表面带,从而使体系具有表面金属性。而Si(111)3^1/2×3^1/2-Al中电子填满吸附原子和表面Si原子成键的表面态,反键的表面态全空,因此吸Al后的Si(111)面可能出现半导体特性。计算结果与实验结果 关键词：

Electronic excitation energies in TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> in the fluorite phase

The ab initio pseudopotential method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and quasiparticle approximation has been used to investigate the electronic properties of titanium dioxide in the rutile, anatase, and fluorite structures, respectively. Here we present the GW approximation for the electronic self-energy, which allows to calculate excited-state properties, especially electronic band structures. For this calculation, good agreement with the experimental results for the minimum band gaps in rutile and anatase phase is obtained. In the fluorite phase we predict that titanium dioxide will be an indirect (Γ to X) wide band-gap semiconductor (2.367 or 2.369 eV) and the properties remain to be confirmed by experiment.     

Experimental determination of the band structure of photonic crystals of colloidal silica spheres

A photonic band structure of colloidal crystals of silica spheres is analytically determined by a band model with three fitting parameters: the sphere size, the effective refractive index, and the band-gap. Optical properties of the crystals annealed at various temperatures were characterized by a procedure similar to X-ray diffraction technique, and the width of photonic band-gap measured from the transmission spectra experimentally servers as an additional check on the validation of the model. The photonic band structures defined by the band-gap, the refractive index, and the Brillouin zone are obviously superior to the use of the Bragg's expression involving simple zone folding.

Oxygen vacancy in N-doped Cu₂ O crystals:A density functional theory study

The N-doping effects on the electronic properties of Cu2O crystals are investigated using density functional theory.The calculated results show that N-doped Cu2O with or without oxygen vacancy exhibits different modifications of electronic band structure.In N anion-doped Cu2O,some N 2p states overlap and mix with the O2p valence band,leading to a slight narrowing of band gap compared with the undoped Cu2O.However,it is found that the coexistence of both N impurity and oxygen vacancy contributes to band gap widening which may account for the experimentally observed optical band gap widening by N doping.

Optical properties of one-dimensional photonic crystals obtained by micromatchining silicon (a review)

The theoretical and experimental investigations of photonic band gaps in one-dimensional photonic crystals created by micromatchining silicon, which have been performed by the author as part of his doctoral dissertation, are presented. The most important result of the work is the development of a method of modeling photonic crystals based on photonic band gap maps plotted in structure–property coordinates, which can be used with any optical materials and in any region of electromagnetic radiation, and also for nonperiodic structures. This method made it possible to realize the targeted control of the optical contrast of photonic crystals and to predict the optical properties of optical heterostructures and three-component and composite photonic crystals. The theoretical findings were experimentally implemented using methods of micromatchining silicon, which can be incorporated into modern technological lines for the production of microchips. In the IR spectra of a designed and a fabricated optical heterostructure (a composite photonic crystal), extended bands with high reflectivities were obtained. In a Si-based three-component photonic crystal, broad transmission bands and photonic band gaps in the middle IR region have been predicted and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Si–liquid crystal periodic structures with electric-field tunable photonic band-gap edges have been investigated. The one-dimensional photonic crystals developed based on micromatchining silicon can serve as a basis for creating components of optical processors, as well as highly sensitive chemical and biological sensors in a wide region of the IR spectrum (from 1 to 20 μm) for lab-on-a-chip applications.     

Energy band and band-gap properties of deformed single-walled silicon nanotubes

The fantastic physical properties of single-walled silicon nanotubes (SWSiNTs) under mechanical strain make them promising materials for fabricating nanoscale electronic devices or transducers. Here we investigate the energy band and band-gap properties of the SWSiNTs calculated from the tight-binding model approximation. The results show that the band-gap properties are very sensitive to the deformation degree and the helicity of the SWSiNTs. The results can be employed to guide the design of nanoelectronic devices based on silicon nanotubes.     

Experimental research of liquid refractive index sensing by optical fiber and colloidal crystal's photonic band-gap

We use the changes of colloidal photonic crystal photonic band-gap center wavelength to research the refractive index sensing by experiment. The changes in the center wavelength of the colloidal crystals photonic band-gap are analyzed. A mold is designed to obtain a controllable self-assembly method, colloidal crystals are observed by scan electronic microscope (SEM) and the band-gap is measured by infrared spectrometer. The results are agreed well with the theoretical analysis. An experimental device is designed to test liquid refractive index. The couple of the fibers are used to measure the band-gap of colloidal crystals and the results are also discussed in theory. The results show that the band-gap of colloidal crystals can be used to measure the liquid refractive index. The new sensing mechanism is formed and it provides a new application of colloidal crystals in the sensing.
