Cu、Ag和Au掺杂AlN的电磁性质的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论（DFT）的平面波超软赝势法,研究了Cu、Ag、Au掺杂AlN的晶格常数、磁矩、能带结构和态密度。电子结构表明,Cu、Ag、Au的掺杂使在带隙中引入了由杂质原子的d态与近邻N原子的2p态杂化而成的杂质带,都为p型掺杂,增强了体系的导电性。Cu掺杂AlN具有半金属铁磁性,半金属能隙为0.442eV,理论上可实现100%的自旋载流子注入;Ag掺杂AlN具有很弱的半金属铁磁性;而Au掺杂AlN不具有半金属铁磁性。因此,与Ag、Au相比,Cu更适合用来制作AlN基稀磁半导体。     

N空位对Cu掺杂AlN电磁性质的影响的第一性原理研究

利用基于密度泛函理论的平面波超软赝势法研究了N空位对Cu掺杂AlN的电子结构和磁学性质的影响.结果表明,与Cu最近邻的N原子更易失去形成N空位.N空位的引入减小了Cu掺杂AlN体系的半金属能隙;减弱了Cu及其近邻N原子的自旋极化的强度以及Cu3d与N2p轨道间的杂化,因而减小了体系的半金属铁磁性.因此,制备Cu掺杂AlN稀磁半导体时应尽可能地避免N空位的产生.

采用基于密度泛函理论的总体能量平面波超软赝势方法,对贵金属（Cu、Ag、Au）掺杂ZnO进行了几何结构优化,并计算了相应的能带结构、受主能级、形成能、电子态密度和光学性质. 结果表明：贵金属掺杂后带隙增加且体系费米能级附近电子态密度主要来源于Cu3d、Ag4d和Au5d态电子的贡献. 与未掺杂ZnO相比,介电函数虚部、反射峰强度和吸收系数在可见光和紫外区域增强. 能量损失谱计算表明,贵金属（Cu、Ag、Au）掺杂后ZnO的等离子体共振频率峰发生蓝移.     

不同浓度Cu掺杂AlN的电子结构和光学性质研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波超软赝势和广义梯度近似的第一性原理计算方法,对理想纤锌矿AlN及不同浓度的Cu掺AlN的超晶胞结构进行了几何优化,计算并分析了它们的电子结构、磁电性质和光学性质.结果表明,掺杂后Cu3d态电子与其近邻的N2p态电子发生杂化,在带隙中引入杂质带,6.25%和12.5%的Cu掺杂体系表现出半金属铁磁性,体系总磁矩分别为2.56μв和2.42μв,25%的Cu掺杂体系表现出金属性.随着Cu浓度的增加,体系铁磁性反而减弱.Cu掺杂后体系介电函数虚部和复折射率函数在低能区发生明显变化,增强了体系对低频电磁波的吸收.当Cu浓度增加时体系对高频电磁波的吸收也随之加强.

Copper-doped AlN polycrystalline powders: A class of room-temperature ferromagnetic materials

Cu-doped AlN polycrystalline samples were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the hexagonal structure of the doped samples. Photoluminescence measurements reveal the substitution of Cu for Al in the AlN lattice. Clear hysteresis loops are observed in the M-H curves for the samples at 300 K, revealing room temperature ferromagnetism of the samples. Our experimental results verify that room temperature ferromagnetism is an intrinsic property of Cu-doped AlN.     

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes supported Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles and their optical property

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/Cu-doped ZnO composite powders were prepared by co-precipitation method, and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, fluorescence spectrum, and ultraviolet spectrum. Experimental results show that the MWNTs can be modified by Cu-doped ZnO nanoparticles with hexagonal wurtzite structure after annealed at 450?°C, and the nanoparticle size is about 15?nm. Two ultraviolet (UV) peaks and a green band centered at about 510?nm are observed in the fluorescence spectrum of MWNTs/Cu-doped ZnO composite powder annealed at 450?°C. Furthermore, MWNTs and Cu doping significantly improve the UV absorption ability of ZnO.     

Cu掺杂ZnO薄膜的光学性质

采用射频反应磁控溅射方法,在Si(100)和石英基片上使用双靶溅射的方法制备了Cu掺杂ZnO薄膜。利用X射线衍射、透射光谱和光致发光光谱分析了薄膜的晶体结构及光学性质,并与密度泛函理论计算的结果进行了对比。研究结果显示:Cu掺杂ZnO薄膜均具有高的c轴择优取向,无Cu及其氧化物相关相析出,掺杂对晶格参数的影响较小,与理论计算结果一致。Cu掺杂显著改变了ZnO薄膜在近紫外及可见光波段的吸收特性,其光学带隙随着Cu掺杂量的增加有所减小,带隙宽度的变化趋势与理论结果有着很好的一致性。Cu掺杂显著降低了ZnO薄膜的发光效率,具有明显的发光猝灭作用,但并不影响光致发光的发光峰位。说明Cu掺杂导致的吸收特性的改变可能与杂质能级有关,这与能带结构计算发现的Cu-3d电子态位于价带顶附近的禁带中是一致的。     

基于Cu掺杂ZnInS和ZnCdS量子点的高显色性白光LED

Enhanced photocatalytic activity of Cu-doped ZnO nanorods

Cu-doped ZnO nanorods with different Cu concentrations were synthesized through the vapor transport method. The synthesized nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and UV–vis spectroscopy. The XRD results revealed that Cu was successfully doped into ZnO lattice. The FE-SEM images showed that the undoped ZnO has needle like morphology whereas Cu-doped ZnO samples have rod like morphology with an average diameter and length of 60–90 nm and 1.5–3 μm respectively. The red shift in band edge absorption peak in UV-vis absorbance spectrum with increasing Cu content also confirm the doping of Cu in ZnO nanorods. The photocatalytic activity of pure and Cu-doped ZnO samples was studied by the photodegradation of resazurin (Rz) dye. Both pure ZnO and the Cu-doped ZnO nanorods effectively removed the Rz in a short time. This photodegradation of Rz followed the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. ZnO nanorods with increasing Cu doping exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant for 15 % Cu-doped ZnO is equal to 10.17×10^?2min^?1 about double of that with pure ZnO. The increased photocatalytic activity of Cu-doped ZnO is attributed to intrinsic oxygen vacancies due to high surface to volume ratio in nanorods and extrinsic defect due to Cu doping.     

Photoluminescence and Raman scattering of Cu-doped ZnO films prepared by magnetron sputtering

The Cu-doped ZnO films were prepared by direct current reactive magnetron sputtering using a zinc target with various Cu-chips attached. The influences of Cu-doping on the microstructure, photoluminescence, and Raman scattering of ZnO films were systematically investigated. The results indicate that ZnO films doped with moderate Cu dopant (2.0-4.4 at.%) can obtain wurtzite structure with strong c-axis orientation. The near band edge (NBE) emission of ZnO film can be enhanced by Cu dopant with a concentration of 2.0 at.% and quench quickly with further increase of doping concentration. Two additional modes at about 230 and 575 cm⁻¹, which could be induced by Cu dopant, can be observed in Raman spectra of the Cu-doped ZnO films.     

First principles calculations of armchair graphene nanoribbons interacting with Cu atoms

We have investigated the electronic properties of bare, H-terminated, Cu-terminated and Cu-doped armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) using ab-initio approach. We found that H-termination enhances the stability and band gap whereas H extraction introduces dangling bands and lowers the band gap making bare ribbons indirect band gap semiconductors. The calculations revealed that strong hybridization between Cu atoms and AGNRs, lessen the band gap for Cu-terminated ribbons and gives rise to metallicity in Cu-doped AGNRs irrespective of their widths. Formation energy of considered ribbons yield that H-terminated AGNRs with lowest formation energy are most energetically favored, next are one edge Cu-terminated ribbons followed by bare ones whereas both edges Cu-doped ribbons are least energetically plausible. We predict that presence of Cu atoms in GNRs, significantly alter the band gap and can be used in band gap engineering of nanoribbons.     

Half-metallic ferromagnetism in Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO from first principles study

Electronic structures and magnetism of Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO have been investigated by the first-principle method based on density functional theory (DFT). The results show that Cu can induce stable ferromagnetic ground state. The magnetic moment of supercell including single Cu atom is 1.0 μ_B. Electronic structure shows that Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO is a p-type half-metallic ferromagnet. The half-metal property is mainly attribute to the crystal field splitting of Cu 3d orbital, and the ferromagnetism is dominated by the hole-mediated double exchange mechanism. Therefore, Cu-doped zinc-blende ZnO should be useful in semiconductor spintronics and other applications.
