GGA+U法研究稀土(La、Ce、Pr、Nd)掺杂对ZnO电子结构和光学性质的影响

基于GGA+U的第一性原理方法,分析了La、Ce、Pr、Nd四种元素掺杂的ZnO结构,对晶体的结构、电子结构和光学性质进行了对比分析.由键布局分析可知,掺杂体系Zn-O键共价性的强弱与杂质掺入原子的序数成正比.掺杂后体系的类型仍为直接跃迁,能级整体下移;随着Pr、Nd掺入,出现了杂质能级,这是由稀土元素的4f电子态所导致.在光学性质方面,掺杂体系的吸收系数、静介电常数都比纯ZnO的高,体系的吸收边都向低能方向移动,其中Zn7LaO8的红移程度最高、静介电常数最大,说明其光催化能力和极化能力都最强.

Investigation of the effect of aluminum doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin films by spray pyrolysis

ABSTRACT

In this study, aluminum doped zinc oxide thin films were deposited on ordinary glass substrates at the temperature of 425°C by spray pyrolysis technique for various doping concentrations of aluminum ranging from 1 to 5 at.%. The effect of dopant concentration on structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO:Al thin films was studied. Optical band gap of the films increased with doping percentage and started to decrease from 2 at.% of dopant. The average transmittance for 2at.% ZnO:Al film is significantly increased over 90% in the visible region at 450 nm which is crucial for optoelectronic applications.     

Structural,optical and electrical properties of Ga-doped and (Ga,Co)-codoped ZnO films

The Ga-doped and (Ga, Co)-codoped ZnO films were grown on quartz glass substrate by inductively coupled plasma enhanced physical vapor deposition. The effect of Co doping and oxygen pressure on the structural, optical, electrical and magnetic properties of the as-grown films was investigated. The structural characterization revealed that high-quality films were grown with wurtzite structure and c-axis preferred crystalline orientation. The surface morphology was affected by Co doping and oxygen pressure. Room-temperature ferromagnetism was observed in (Ga, Co)-codoped ZnO films. We found that the optical and electrical properties were degraded with Co doping. The Ga-doped ZnO films had an average transmittance of above 88% in the visible wavelength, while (Ga, Co)-codoped ZnO showed a lower average transmittance (∼65%) due to the d-d transitions of Co²⁺. The resistivity and Hall mobility of (Ga, Co)-doped ZnO samples were lower than those of Ga-doped ZnO films when grown at the same oxygen pressure.     

Structural and optical properties of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films prepared by a modified Pechini method

ZnO thin films with different Mg doping contents (0%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 10%, respectively) were prepared on quartz glass substrates by a modified Pechini method. XRD patterns reveal that all the thin films possess a polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure. The peak position of (002) plane for Mg‐doped ZnO thin films shifts toward higher angle due to the Mg doping. The crystallite size calculated by Debey‐Scherrer formula is in the range of 32.95–48.92 nm. The SEM images show that Mg‐doped ZnO thin films are composed of dense nanoparticles, and the thickness of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films with Mg doped at 8% is around 140 nm. The transmittance spectra indicate that Mg doping can increase the optical bandgap of ZnO thin films. The band gap is tailored from 3.36 eV to 3.66 eV by changing Mg doping concentration between 3% and 10%. The photoluminescence spectra show that the ultraviolet emission peak of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films shifts toward lower wavelength as Mg doping content increases from 3% to 8%. The green emission peak of Mg‐doped ZnO thin films with Mg doping contents were 3%, 8%, and 10% is attributed to the oxygen vacancies or donor‐acceptor pair. These results prove that Mg‐doped ZnO thin films based on a modified Pechini method have the potential applications in the optoelectronic devices.     

Growth,structure and optical characterization of Al‐doped ZnO nanoparticle thin films

Al‐doped ZnO nanoparticle thin films were prepared on glass substrate at the optimum temperature of (410±10) °C by spray pyrolysis technique using zinc nitrate as a precursor solution and aluminium chloride as a dopant. The dopant concentration (Al/Zn at%) was varied from 0 to 2 at%. Structural analysis of the films shows that all the films are of polycrystalline zinc oxide in nature, possessing hexagonal wurtzite structure. The films exhibit variation in peak intensities corresponding to (100), (002) and (101) reflection planes on Al‐doping. The crystallite size calculated by Scherrer formula has been found to be in the range of 35‐65 nm. The optical absorption study shows that the optical band gap in the Al‐doped films varies in the range of 3.11 – 3.22 eV. The width of localized states in the band gap estimated by the Urbach tail analysis has been found to be minimum in case of the 1 at% Al‐doped zinc oxide thin film.

S-La共掺杂ZnO性能的第一性原理研究

采用基于广义梯度近似的第一性原理方法,研究了纯ZnO、S单掺、La单掺和S-La共掺ZnO的能带结构、态密度和光学性质。S单掺ZnO后,价带和导带同时向低能量转移,导致带隙减小。La单掺ZnO后在导带底产生杂质能级使得带隙减小。S-La共掺ZnO导致La的局部化减弱,表明La形成的施主能级由于S的3p态的影响变得更浅,从而减小了带隙。和纯ZnO相比,掺杂后的ZnO吸收系数和反射系数都减小,导致透射能力增强,为ZnO作为透明导电氧化物应用于太阳能电池提供了潜在的理论依据。

Synthesis of radial‐like ZnO structure by hydrothermal method with ZnSO4·7H2O and Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O as zinc sources

Radial‐like ZnO structures were prepared using zinc sulfate (ZnSO₄·7H₂O) and zinc acetate [Zn(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O] as zinc sources by a facile template‐free hydrothermal method in this paper. Structural and optical properties of radial‐like ZnO structures are characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV‐vis spectrophotometer and photoluminescence measurement (PL). It has been found that the distinct surface morphologies of radial‐like ZnO structures grown by different zinc sources. Slim radial‐like ZnO with a hexagonal wurtzite structure is grown by using ZnSO₄·7H₂O as zinc sources, whereas coarse radial‐like ZnO with zincite structure is achieved by zinc acetate. The UV‐vis absorption spectra of them both display an obvious and significant absorption in the ultraviolet region. The room temperature PL spectra of ZnO structures grown by two different zinc sources possess a common feature that consists of a strong ultraviolet (UV) peak and visible emission band.     

Growth and photorefractive properties of Mg:Ce:Cu:LiNbO3 crystals grown by Czochralski method

In this paper, photorefractive properties of Mg:Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystals were studied. The crystals doped with different concentration of Mg ions have been grown by the Czochralski method. Mg concentrations in grown crystals were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OE/MS). The crystal structures were analyzed by the X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐Vis) absorption spectra and infrared (IR) transmitatance spectra. The photorefractive properties of crystals were experimentally studied by using two‐beam coupling. In this experiment we determined the writing time, maximum diffraction efficiency and the erasure time of crystals samples with He‐Ne laser. The results showed that the dynamic range (M/#), sensitivity (S) and diffraction efficiency (η) were dependent on the Mg doping concentration, and the Mg(4.58mol%):Ce:Cu:LiNbO₃ crystal was the most proper holographic recording media material among the six crystals studied in the paper.
