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...

高压下TiN等结构相变的第一性原理研究

 利用基于密度泛函理论的赝势平面波方法和线性响应理论，研究了TiN的物态方程、电子能带结构和声子色散曲线随压强的变化关系。结果表明：TiN 的电子能带结构并未随着压强的增加而出现反常，没有出现电子的拓扑结构相变；零压下出现软化的声子模式并没有随着压强的增加而继续软化。因此可以认为在0～12 GPa 压强范围内，TiN 发生等结构相变的原因不是由于电子的拓扑形貌发生变化和声子软化引起的。

Thermoelasticity of CaO from first principles

The thermoelastic properties of CaO over a wide range of pressure and temperature are studied using density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation. The transition pressure taken from the enthalpy calculations is 66.7GPa for CaO, which accords with the experimental result very well. The athermal elastic moduli of the two phases of CaO are calculated as a function of pressure up to 200GPa. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with existing experimental data at ambient pressure and compared favourably with other pseudopotential predictions over the pressure regime studied. It is also found that the degree of the anisotropy rapidly decreases with pressure increasing in the B1 phase, whereas it strongly increases as the pressure increases in the B2 phase. The thermodynamic properties of the B1 phase of CaO are predicted using the quasi-harmonic Debye model; the heat capacity and entropy are consistent with other previous results at zero pressure.     

Elastic and thermodynamic properties in CdO at high pressures from first-principles calculations

In this study, we report first-principles calculations of the elastic and thermodynamic properties for CdO in both the B1 (rocksalt) phase and B2 (cesium chloride) phase. The calculations are performed within the framework of density functional theory, using the pseudopotential plane-wave method. From the theoretical results, we find that the high pressure structural phase transition of CdO from B1 structure to B2 structure is 90.31 GPa. The calculated values are, generally speaking, in good agreement with experiments and with similar theoretical calculations. According to the quasi-harmonic Debye model, we investigate the sound velocity and Debye temperature of CdO under pressures in the range of 0<P<150 GPa.     

First-principles investigations on elastic and thermodynamic properties of zinc-blende structure BeS

In this paper the elastic and thermodynamic properties of the cubic zinc-blende structure BeS at different pressures and temperatures are investigated by using \textit{ab initio} plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data and other theoretical results. It is found that the zinc-blende structure BeS should be unstable above 60GPa. The thermodynamic properties of the zinc-blende structure BeS are predicted by using the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The pressure-volume-temperature ($P-V-T$) relationship, the variations of the thermal expansion coefficient $\alpha$ and the heat capacity $C_{V}$ with pressure $P$ and temperature $T$, as well as the Gr\"{u}neisen parameter-pressure-temperature ($\gamma -P-T$) relationship are obtained systematically in the ranges of 0--90GPa and 0--2000K.     

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of thorium tetraboride

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of thorium tetraboride (ThB₄) have been investigated by using first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation. The behaviors of structural parameters under 0-70 GPa hydrostatic pressure are studied by means of Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb, and Shanno (BFGS) geometry optimization scheme. By using the stress-strain method, single crystal elastic constants are calculated to test the mechanical stability of the crystal structure and to determine mechanical properties such as bulk modulus at each pressure. However, in order to study the thermodynamic properties of ThB₄, the quasi-harmonic Debye model is used. Then, the dependencies of bulk modulus, heat capacities, thermal expansions, Grüneisen parameters and Debye temperatures on the temperature and pressure are obtained in the whole pressure range 0-70 GPa and temperature range 0-1500 K.     

First-Principles Calculations of Structural,Elastic and ElectronicProperties of Tetragonal HfO2under Pressure

Structural, elastic and electronic properties of tetragonal HfO₂ at applied hydrostatic pressure up to 50 GPa have been investigated using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential technique based on the first-principles density-functional theory (DFT). The calculated ground-state properties are in good agreement with previous theoretical and experimental data. Six independent elastic constants of tetragonal HfO₂ have been calculated at zero pressure and high pressure. From the obtained elastic constants, the bulk, shear and Young's modulus, Poisson's coefficients, acoustic velocity and Debye temperature have been calculated at the applied pressure. Band structure shows that tetragonal HfO₂ is an indirect band gap. The variation of the gap versus pressure is well fitted to a quadratic function.

Structural and thermodynamic properties of the cubic perovskite BiAlO3

The structural and elastic properties of the cubic perovskite-type BiAlO₃ are studied using the pseudopotential plane wave method within the local density approximation. The calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with previous calculations. The elastic constants are calculated using the static finite strain technique. Thermal effects on some macroscopic properties of BiAlO₃ are predicted using the quasi-harmonic Debye model, in which the lattice vibrations are taken in account. We have obtained successfully the variations of the lattice constant, volume expansion coefficient, heat capacities and Debye temperature with pressure and temperature in the ranges of 0-30 GPa and 0-1000 K.
