N-M(Cd,Mg)共掺闭口氧化锌纳米管场发射第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算方法, 分别研究了N掺杂和N-M(Cd, Mg)共掺(9, 0)型闭口氧化锌纳米管(ZnONT)的几何结构和场发射性能.结果表明: N原子能够提高体系帽端结构的稳定性; 随外加电场增强, 体系的态密度向低能方向移动, 最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)-最低未占据分子轨道(LUMO)能隙及有效功函数变小, 电荷向帽端聚集程度愈高. 体系态密度/局域态密度, HOMO/LUMO, 能隙及Mulliken电荷分析一致表明, N-Cd共掺可提高ZnONT的场发射性能, N-Mg共掺反而抑制其电子发射. 关键词： 第一性原理 ZnO纳米管 场发射 共掺杂

First-principles study of field emission properties for ZnO nanotuber capped and codoped with N-M(Cd,Mg)

The first-principles density-functional theoretical calculations are performed to investigate the effects of N doped and N, M (Cd, Mg) codoped on the geometrical structures and field emission properties of capped (9, 0) zinc oxide nanotubes (ZnONT). The results show that the N could improve the stability of the structure of capped side. With the increase of the applied electric field, the density of states (DOS) shifts towards the low energy position, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) gap and the effective work function decrease drastically, and the electrons congregate to the capped side. The analyses of DOS/local DOS, HOMO/LUMO, and Mulliken population indicate that the field emission properties of N, Cd-Codoped ZnONT are improved, but those of N, Mg-codoped ZnONT are worsened.
