First-principles study of La and Sb-doping effects onelectronic structure and optical properties of SrTiO3

The effects of La and Sb doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of SrTiO 3 are investigated by first-principles calculation of the plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential based on density functional theory. The calculated results reveal that corner-shared TiO 6 octahedra dominate the main electronic properties of SrTiO 3 , and its structural stability can be improved by La doping. The La 3+ ion fully acts as an electron donor in Sr 0.875 La 0.125 TiO 3 and the Fermi level shifts into the conduction bands (CBs) after La doping. As for SrSb 0.125 Ti 0.875 O 3 , there is a distortion near the bottom of the CBs for SrSb 0.125 Ti 0.875 O 3 after Sb doping and an incipient localization of some of the doped electrons trapped in the Ti site, making it impossible to describe the evolution of the density of states (DOS) within the rigid band model. At the same time, the DOSs of the two electron-doped systems shift towards low energies and the optical band gaps are broadened by about 0.4 and 0.6 eV for Sr0.875La0.125TiO3 and SrSb0.125Ti0.875O3 , respectively. Moreover, the transmittance of SrSb0.125Ti0.875O3 is as high as 95% in most of the visible region, which is higher than that of Sr0.875La0.125TiO3 (85%). The wide band gap, the small transition probability and the weak absorption due to the low partial density of states (PDOS) of impurity in the Fermi level result in the significant optical transparency of SrSb0.125 Ti0.875 O3 .     

Orientation effect on the electronic transport properties of C24 fullerene molecule

The transport properties of the cage-like molecule depend on its orientation between the electrodes, but the investigation on the mechanism has not been found. Using first-principle density-functional theory (DFT) and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism for quantum transport calculation, we study the electronic transport properties of C₂₄ fullerene molecule with different orientations in Au–C₂₄–Au two-probe system. The effects of k-point sampling on the Brillouin zone are explored. Our results show that the negative differential resistance of C₂₄ molecule is found in such a system and can be tuned by the molecule's orientation in the two-probe system. We also proposed a mechanism for it. The I–V characteristic under bias voltage is determined. The present findings could be helpful for the application of the C₂₄ molecule in the field of single molecular devices or nanometer electronics.

Study of the excitation properties of the Si3O2 cluster under an external electric field

The structure of the Si₃O_x (x=2, 3) cluster is investigated; we find that the geometry of Si₃O₂ is similar to that of Si₃O₃ except for the oxygen-deficient defect structure (Si-Si band) which exists only in the Si₃O₂ cluster. It is known that oxygen-deficient defects are used to explain visible luminescence (especially blue, purple and ultraviolet light) from silicon-based materials, which are directly bound up with the excited states of the molecules. Therefore the excitation properties of the two clusters are also studied. Our results show that the absorption spectrum of Si₃O₂ is concentrated in the visible light region. In contrast, the absorption spectrum of Si₃O₃ is mainly located in the ultraviolet light region. The calculations are perfectly consistent with experimental data and also support the theory of oxygen-deficient defects.     

Elastic constants and anisotropy of RuB2 under pressure

The structural, elastic constants and anisotropy of RuB2 under pressure are investigated by first-principles calcula-tions based on the plane wave pseudopotential density functional theory method within the local density approximation (LDA) as well as the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for exchange and correlation. The results accord well with the available experimental and other theoretical data. The elastic constants, elastic anisotropy, and Debye temperature Θ as a function of pressure are presented. It is concluded that RuB2 is brittle in nature at low pressure, whereas it becomes ductile at higher pressures. An analysis for the calculated elastic constant has been made to reveal the mechanical stability of RuB2 up to 100 GPa.

This paper investigates the effect of Nb doping on the electronic structure and optical properties of Sr2TiO4 by the first-principles calculation of plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential based on density functional theory(DFT).The calculated results reveal that due to the electron doping,the Fermi level shifts into conduction bands(CBs) for Sr2 Nb x Ti1 x O4 with x=0.125 and the system shows n-type degenerate semiconductor features.Sr2TiO4 exhibits optical anisotropy in its main crystal axes,and the c-axis shows the most suitable crystal growth direction for obtaining a wide transparent region.The optical transmittance is higher than 90% in the visible range for Sr2 Nb 0.125Ti0.875O4.     

DFT study on the structure and spectra of GasP5 cluster

In this paper, possible structures of GasP5 cluster were optimized by using density functional method with generalized gradient correction （B3LYP）. The electronic structure of the isomers with lower energy was studied. The most stable structure obtained for GasP5 is a distorted pentaprism. The Ga-P bond formed in the cluster is strongly ionic. Based on NBO analysis, an average value of 0.59 electron transfers from Gallium to Phosphorus. The bond length 2.33-2.43 is around the value in bulk GaP. The HOMO-LUMO gap is about 2.2 eV. The dipole moment and polarizability are calculated, and the IR and Raman spectra are also presented.     

The relativistic density functional investigations on geometries, electronic and magnetic properties of Irn (n=1-13) clusters

<正>The Ir_n(n=1-13) clusters are studied using the relativistic density functional method with generalized gradient approximation.A series of low-lying structures with different spin multiplicities have been considered.It is found that all the lowest-energy Ir_n(n=4-13) geometries prefer non-compact structures rather than compact structure growth pattern.And the cube structure is a very stable cell for the lowest-energy Ir_n(n8) clusters.The second-order difference of energy,the vertical ionization potentials,the electron affinities and the atomic average magnetic moments for the lowest-energy Ir_n geometries all show odd-even alternative behaviours.
