First-Principles Calculations of the AS,, Electronic Structures

The changes in the GaAs electronic structure due to the arsenic-antisite defect have been calculated by using LDF-LMTO-ASA method to a D_2d-symmetry-supercell ( Ga₁₅As₁₇□₃₂)c,o ntains 15 gallium atoms, 17 arsenic atoms and 32 empty spheres. The results show that the central AsGa atom is antibonding with its nearest neighbor arsenic atoms and therefore induces gap states in GaAs. The gap states are composed of A₁-like state and T₂-like state. The bonding properties of gap states have been analyzed in detail by using density of states (DOS) and combined coefficients of wavefunctions. Our results of E_A1 =E_v+0.70 eV and= E_T2+1.07eV are in good agreement with experiments as well as previous calculation results obtained by other self-consistent methods.     

First-Principles Calculations of Structures and Electronic Properties of Solid Pentaerythritol under Pressure

Structures and electronic properties of the pentaerythritol （PE） crystal under volume compression up to 0.85V0 are studied by E - V fitting method using density functional theory （DFT）. The compression dependences of the cell volumes, lattice constants, and molecular geometries of solid PE are presented and discussed. It is found that the solid PE presents anisotropy along a- and c-axes, and the c axis is the most compressible. Decreasing anisotropy ratio （c/a） with elevating compression suggests an enhancement of the vdW interaction with increasing compression. The C-C and C-H bonds are significantly reduced under compression, which may be related to the sensitivity. The solid PE has indirect band gap （X - G） in the range of the researched compression and the band gap is decreased with compression.

La-Ce共掺杂锐钛矿TiO2的缺陷形成能和电子结构分析

采用基于密度泛函的第一性原理研究了稀土元素La、Ce共掺杂锐钛矿相TiO₂的缺陷形成能,缺陷电荷转变能级以及电子结构.研究发现,富氧状态下La、Ce掺杂以及La-Ce共掺的缺陷形成能均为负值,而贫氧状态下La、Ce掺杂形成能为正,表明La、Ce的掺杂TiO₂只能在氧气氛制备条件下进行;替代Ti掺杂缺陷电荷转变能级计算结果表明:0/1-的缺陷电荷转变能级分别位于VBM上面0.522 eV及2.440 eV处;与纯锐钛矿相TiO₂相比,La、Ce单掺杂以及La-Ce共掺杂均能减小TiO₂的禁带宽度,但共掺杂体系的禁带宽度更窄,因此共掺杂体系将更有利于提高TiO₂对可见光的响应能力和光催化性能.     

锐钛矿二氧化钛体相缺陷的准粒子能带结构

Quasiparticle band structures of the defective anatase TiO₂ bulk with O vacancy, Ti interstitial and H interstitial are investigated by the GW method within many-body Green''s function theory. The computed direct band gap of the perfect anatase bulk is 4.3 eV, far larger than the experimental optical absorption edge (3.2 eV). We found that this can be ascribed to the inherent defects in anatase which drag the conduction band (CB) edge down. The occupied band-gap states induced by these defects locate close to the CB edge, excluding the possible contribution of these bulk defects to the deep band-gap state below CB as observed in experiments.     

Co-Cr共掺杂金红石型TiO_2电子结构和光学性质的第一性原理研究

基于密度泛函理论,采用第一性原理赝势平面波方法计算了Co、Cr单掺杂以及Co-Cr共掺杂金红石型TiO2的能带结构、态密度和光学性质.计算结果表明:纯金红石的禁带宽度为3.0eV,Co掺杂金红石型TiO2的带隙为1.21eV,导带顶和价带底都位于G点处,仍为直接带隙,在价带与导带之间出现了由Co 3d和Ti 3d轨道杂化形成的杂质能级;Cr掺杂金红石型TiO2的直接带隙为0.85eV,在价带与导带之间的杂质能级由Cr 3d和Ti 3d轨道杂化轨道构成,导带和价带都向低能级方向移动;Co-Cr共掺杂,由于电子的强烈杂化,使O-2p态和Ti-3d态向Co-3d和Cr-3d态移动,使价带顶能级向高能级移动而导带底能级向低能方向移动,极大地减小了禁带的宽度,也是共掺杂改性的离子选择依据.掺杂金红石型TiO2的介电峰、折射率和吸收系数峰都向低能方向移动;在E2.029eV的范围内,纯金红石的ε2、k和吸收系数为零,掺杂后的跃迁强度都大于未掺杂时的跃迁强度,Co-Cr共掺杂的跃迁强度大于Co掺杂及Cr掺杂,说明Co、Cr共掺杂更能增强电子在低能端的光学跃迁,具有更佳的可见光催化性能.

Electronic Structure and Elastic Properties of Ti3AlC from First-Principles Calculations

We perform a first-principles study on the electronic structure and elastic properties of TiaA1C with an antiperovskite structure. The absence of band gap at the Fermi level and the finite value of the density of states at the Fermi energy reveal the metallic behavior of this compound. The elastic constants of Ti3AlC are derived yielding c11 = 356 GPa, c12 = 55 GPa, c44 = 157 GPa. The bulk modulus B, shear modulus G and Young＇s modulus E are determined to be 156, 151 and 342 GPa, respectively. These properties are compared with those of Ti3AlC2 and Ti2AlC with a layered structure in the Ti-Al-C system and FeaAlC with the same antiperovskite structure.
