H,Cl和F原子钝化Cu_2ZnSnS_4(112)表面态的第一性原理计算

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法系统研究了Cu_2ZnSnS_4体相的晶格结构、能带、态密度及表面重构与H,Cl和F原子在Cu_2ZnSnS_4(112)表面上的吸附和钝化机理.计算结果表明:表面重构出现在以金属原子Cu-Zn-Sn终止的Cu_2ZnSnS_4(112)表面上,并且表面重构使表面发生自钝化;当单个H,Cl或F原子吸附在S原子终止的Cu_2ZnSnS_4(112)表面上时,相比于桥位(bridge)、六方密排(hcp)位和面心立方(fcc)位点,三种原子均在特定的顶位(top)吸附位点表现出最佳稳定性.当覆盖度为0.5 ML时,无论H,Cl还是F原子占据Cu_2ZnSnS_4(112)表面的2个顶位均具有最低的吸附能.以S原子终止的Cu_2ZnSnS_4(112)表面在费米能级附近的电子态主要由价带顶部Cu-3d轨道和S-3p轨道电子贡献,此即表面态.当H,Cl或F原子在表面的覆盖度达0.5 ML时,费米能级附近的表面态降低,其中H原子钝化表面态的效果最佳,Cl原子的效果次之,F原子的效果最差.表面态降低的主要原因在于吸附原子从S原子获得电子致使表面Cu原子和S原子在费米能级处的态密度峰几乎完全消失.     

Lattice structures and electronic properties of CIGS/CdS interface:First-principles calculations

Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we study the atomic structures and electronic properties of the perfect and defective （2VCu＋ Incu） CulnGaSe2/CdS interfaces theoretically, especially the interface states. We find that the local lattice structure of （2VCu＋ InCu） interface is somewhat disorganized. By analyzing the local density of states projected on several atomic layers of the two interfaces models, we find that for the （2VCu＋InCu） interface the interface states near the Fermi level in CulnGaSe2 and CdS band gap regions are mainly composed of interracial Se-4p, Cu-3d and S-3p orbitals, while for the perfect interface there are no clear interface states in the CulnGaSe2 region but only some interface states which are mainly composed of S-3p orbitals in the valance band of CdS region.     

Charge distribution in graphene from quantum calculation

The local charge distributions of different shape graphene sheets are investigated by using the quantum calculations.It is found that the charge distribution on carbon atom is not uniform, strongly depending on its position in the graphene and its local atomic environment condition. The symmetrical characteristic and geometrical structures of graphene also have an important influence on the charge distribution. The charges of atom at the graphene edge are strongly related to their surrounding bonds. It is found that the charges of double-bonded atom at the zigzag edge are closely related to the bond angle, but the charges of double-bonded atom at the armchair edge are mainly influenced by the area of triangle. The charges of triple-bonded atom at the edge are mainly affected by the standard deviation of the length of the associated triple bonds.
