极端条件下Ge_3N_4的弹性性能、电子性质和相稳定性

采用密度泛函理论框架下的平面波方法结合准谐近似,研究了Ge3N4的β相、w相和γ相在高温高压条件下的力学稳定性、相变点、电子结构和弹性性质。结果表明:γ相的抗剪切能力最强、刚度最大、属于超硬材料,β相具有最小的体弹模量、杨氏模量和G/B值、因此韧性和延性最好;w相和β相都属于延性相;而γ相则呈现出脆性,在30GPa后转变为延性材料。3种相都属于半导体,成键主要来自于N-2p轨道和Ge-4s、Ge-4p轨道的杂化;它们的结构能保持稳定是源于强烈的共价键;β相、w相和γ相分别属于Γ-A型、Γ-N型间接带隙和直接带隙半导体。研究发现,β→w相变对压强非常敏感,可以认为该相变是因压强的改变而引起的;w→γ相变伴随着晶胞体积的塌缩;同时,还成功地得到了β→w→γ相变的相界。

LiIO3晶体相变的研究

本文用差热分析、恒温热处理、室温及高温X射线衍射等方法,对LiIO₃晶体的相变问题进行了研究。弄清了升温过程中γ相的本质,它是并没有稳定存在的温度区间,只能在一定温度范围,一定时间内存在的,从α相转变为β相的过渡相。熔态LiIO₃的冷凝过程不同于固态升温过程;这里存在着另一些新相——δ相。由于冷凝条件不同,因而结构也不尽相同,这些δ相在继续冷却时大部分转变为α相,但在未转变为α相之前,再度升温时,则转变为β相。从高温X射线衍射发现:差热分析曲线上所示的α←→γ和δ→α的相变温度是出现新相的温度,这时还伴随着大量的原有相的衍射线,随着时间的延长和温度的改变,原来的相才逐渐消失。同时也证实了γ→β的相变过程需要保温时间和β相的下种自催化作用。

First-principles studies of structural,mechanical, electronic,optical properties and pressure-induced phase transition of CuInO2 polymorph

Using the first-principles density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), we have investigated the structural, elastic, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties and phase transition of CuInO₂. Structural parameters including lattice constants and internal parameter, pressure effects and phase transition pressure were calculated. We have obtained the elastic coefficients, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. We find that two phases of CuInO₂ are indirect band gap semiconductors (F–Γ and H–Γ for 3R and 2H, respectively). Optical properties, including the dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, absorption coefficient, loss function and optical conductivity have been obtained for radiations of up to 30 eV.     

Electronic and optical properties of high pressure stable phases of ZnS: Comparison of FPLAPW and PW-PP results

A theoretical study of the structural phase transformation of ZnS under high pressure has been performed using first principle plane wave pseudopotential (PW-PP) and full potential linear augmented plane wave method (FPLAPW) calculation in which Zn-3d states are treated as valence states. In both methods, we have used a generalized gradiant approximation for the study of phase transformation and structural parameters. The calculated difference in lattice constants (Δα₀) by PW-PP and FPLAPW methods for zinc-blende, cinnabar and rocksalt structures is equal to 0.003, 0.01 and 0.001 Å respectively. There is a very good agreement between the results of PW-PP and FPLAPW calculations that shows soundness of our choice of pseudopotential. The calculated transition pressure for zinc-blende → rocksalt is in agreement with available measured data. We present calculations of the optical properties for three phases of ZnS. The band gap of different phases of ZnS decreases in order of zinc-blende → cinnabar → rocksalt mainly due to red shift of Zn-s states in the lowest conduction band. Besides, the optical band gap decreases from 2.84 eV (direct) to 0.188 eV (indirect). The shift of calculated complex dielectric function ε₂(ω) for zinc-blende → cinnabar → rocksalt is also discussed in details of optical transition that occurred in different phases.

The calculated band structure shows that the In₆S₇ is a semiconductor with a direct band gap in good agreement with experimental studies. Furthermore, the dielectric tensor and the optical properties, such as absorption coefficient, refractive index, extinction coefficient, energy-loss spectrum and reflectivity, are derived and analyzed in the study.     

Optical properties of superhard BC5: First-principles calculations

BC₅ is a newly synthesized superhard material. We present a systematic investigation of optical properties of BC₅ in P3m1 and I-4m2 phases at ambient and high pressure in the framework of density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) in this paper. Optical properties such as dielectric function, refractive index, absorption, reflectivity and electron energy-loss spectrum are obtained successfully. The feature in the spectra of the optical parameters is discussed. Through calculation, we find BC₅ is optically anisotropic. Moreover, the dielectric function exhibits a large change at 70 GPa pressure for P3m1 BC₅ phase, but I-4m2 phase not, indicating the stable electronic structure that the I-4m2 phase possesses.     

First-principles study of electronic structure and optical properties of Sr(Ti,Zr)O3

Electronic and optical properties of Sr(Ti,Zr)O₃ crystals in the cubic (Pm-3m) and tetragonal (I4/mcm) phase were calculated by the first-principles calculations using the density functional theory and the local density approximation. The band structure of cubic and tetragonal phases show an indirect band gap at (R-Γ) point and at (M-Γ) point in the Brillouin zone, respectively. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical properties such as the absorption coefficient, energy-loss function and reflectivity are calculated for both phases. The optical properties of tetragonal phase of Sr(Ti,Zr)O₃ were investigated by theoretical methods for the first time. We have also made some comparisons with the available related experimental and theoretical data.

The electronic structure, linear, and non-linear optical properties of ferroelectric-semiconductor SbSBr are investigated in the non-polar (paraelectric) and polar (ferroelectric) phase, using the density functional methods in the generalized gradient approximation. The electronic band structure obtained shows that SbSBr has an indirect forbidden gap of 2.16 and 2.21 eV in the paraelectric and ferroelectric phase, respectively. The linear photon-energy dependent dielectric functions and some optical functions, such as absorption and extinction coefficients, refractive index, energy-loss function, reflectivity, and optical conductivity in both phases and photon-energy dependent second-order susceptibilities in the ferroelectric phase are calculated. Moreover, some important optical parameters, such as the effective number of valence electrons and the effective optical dielectric constant, are calculated in both phases.

The room temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static dielectric constant and static refractive index as 21.08 and 3.85 eV, 6.48 and 2.55, respectively.     

Structural, electronic and optical properties of orthorhombic distorted perovskite TbMnO3

This paper calculates the structural parameters, electronic and optical properties of orthorhombic distorted perovskite-type TbMnO3 by first principles using density functional theory within the generalised gradient approximation. The calculated equilibrium lattice constants are in a reasonable agreement with theoretical and experimental data. The energy band structure, density of states and partial density of states of elements are obtained. Band structures show that TbMnO3 is an indirect band gap between the O 2p states and Mn 3d states, and the band gap is of 0.48 eV agreeing with experimental result. Furthermore, the optical properties, including the dielectric function, absorption coefficient, optical reflectivity, refractive index and energy loss spectrum are calculated and analysed, showing that the TbMnO3 is a promising dielectric material.     

First-principles study of structural, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of 3R- and 2H-CuGaO2

We calculated the structural parameters, elastic, mechanical, electronic and optical properties of 3R- and 2H-CuGaO₂ using the first-principles density-functional theory. The results show that the structural parameters of two phases are in good agreement with previous theoretical and experimental data. Two phases are mechanically stable, behave in ductile manner and have indirect band gap. The analyses of electronic structures and charge densities of two phases show mainly covalent nature in Cu-O bonds and coexistence of both ionic and covalent nature in Ga-O bonds. The optical properties are obtained and discussed, including the complex dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, optical reflectivity, absorption coefficient, energy-loss spectrum and complex conductivity function, which provide useful information for the future applications of CuGaO₂.
