Electronic and Optical Properties of KNbO3,NaNbO3 and K0.5 Na0.5 NbO3 in Paraelectric Cubic Phase：a Comparative First-principles Study

The structural,electronic and optical properties of KNbO 3 (KN),NaNbO3(NN)and K05 Na0.5NbO3(KNN) in paraelectric cubic phase were calculated employing the plane-wave pseudopotential method based on density functional theory (DFT).The calculated electronic structures of the three crystals show similar features in the valence bands and the lower conduction bands.However,the structures in higher conduction bands differ markedly due to the effect of Na and K atoms.The calculated optical properties reveal that the features of optical spectrum at low energy are dominated by the transitions from O2p valence bands to Nb 4d conduction bands and those at high energy are related to the transitions to K 4s4p and/or Na 3s3p states.Moreover,the optical constants of KNN are approximately the average of KN and NN at high energy.Therefore,the optical properties of KNN in high energy region can probably be altered by changing the ratio of Na/K.

The relative Raman intensities change at different excitation lines were discussed based on the Raman enhanced mechanism and surface selection rules.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Ab initio</Emphasis> study of the structure and electronic properties of magnesium and calcium nitrates and their crystal hydrates

The crystal structures and electronic properties of magnesium and calcium nitrates, magnesium nitrate hexahydrate, and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate are studied at the density functional theory level by a hybrid functional in the basis set of localized atomic orbitals using the CRYSTAL14 program code. Atomic structural parameters, atomic charges, bond populations, energy and electron spatial distributions are calculated. The mainly electrostatic nature of interactions between nitro groups and water molecules is shown. The spectrum of the density of states of crystal hydrates, in comparison with nitrates, contains additional bands due to the presence of water. In the spectra of unoccupied states a gap is observed: the anionic gap is ~6.5 eV and the cationic gap is ~8.8 eV.

Structure determination and characterization of two rare-earth molybdenum borate compounds: LnMoBO(6) (Ln = La, Ce)

The structural, optical, and electronic properties of two rare-earth molybdenum borate compounds, LnMoBO(6) (Ln = La, Ce), have been investigated by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analyses, and spectral measurements, as well as calculations of energy band structures, density of states, and optical response functions by the density functional method. The title compounds, which crystallize in monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, possess a similar network of interconnected [Ce(2)(MoO(4))(2)](2+) chains and [BO(2)](-) wavy chains. Novel 1D molybdenum oxide chains are contained in their three-dimensional (3D) networks. The calculated results of crystal energy band structure by the density functional theory (DFT) method show that the solid-state compound LaMoBO(6) is a semiconductor with indirect band gaps.     

Electronic Band Structure and Madelung Potential Study of the Nickelates La(2)NiO(4), La(3)Ni(2)O(7), and La(4)Ni(3)O(10)

Tight-binding electronic band structures and Madelung potentials were calculated for La(2)NiO(4), La(3)Ni(2)O(7), and La(4)Ni(3)O(10) to examine why a metal-to-metal transition occurs in the nickelate Ln(4)Ni(3)O(10) (Ln = La, Nd, Pr). La(4)Ni(3)O(10) and La(3)Ni(2)O(7) are each found to have two hidden one-dimensional (1D) Fermi surfaces, which suggests that both compounds should possess a charge density wave instability. Factors leading to hidden 1D Fermi surfaces in the e(g) block bands of the nickelates were discussed.     

The First-principles Calculations of the Electronic Structures and Optical Properties of Ⅱ-Ⅲ_2-Ⅵ_4(Ⅱ = Zn,Cd; Ⅲ = In; Ⅵ = Se,Te)

The electronic structures and optical properties of II?III2?VI4(II = Zn, Cd; III = In; VI = Se, Te) compounds are studied by the density functional theory(DFT) using the Vienna ab initio simulation package(VASP). Geometrical optimization of the unit cell is in good agreement with the experimental data. Our calculations show that the valence band maximum(VBM) and conduction band minimum(CBM) are located at G resulting in a direct energy gap. The optical properties are analyzed, and the independent second harmonic generation(SHG) coefficients are determined. By an analysis of the band structure, we can get that SHG response of the system can be attributed to the transitions from the bands near the top of valence band that are derived from the Se/Te p states to the unoccupied bands contributed by the p states of In atoms.     

Structural and optical properties of passivated silicon nanoclusters with different shapes: a theoretical investigation

Optimized geometries and electronic structures of hydrogenated silicon nanoclusters, which include the Td and Ih symmetries, have been generated by using the semiempirical AM1 and PM3 methods, the density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method with the 6-31G(d) and LANL2DZ basis sets from the Gaussian 03 package, and the local density functional approximation (LDA), which is implemented in the SIESTA package. The calculated diameters for these Td symmetric hydrogenated silicon nanoclusters are in the range from 6.61 A (Si5H12) to 23.24 A (Si281H172). For the Ih symmetry, we calculated Si20H20 and Si100H60 nanoclusters only. Theoretically, the energy gap between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is size dependent. The calculated energy gap decreases (Si5H12: 7.65 eV to Si281H172: 3.06 eV) while the diameter of silicon nanocluster increases. By comparing different calculated results, we concluded that the calculated energy gap by B3LYP/6-31G(d)//LDA/SIESTA is close to that from experiment and that the LDA/SIESTA result underestimates the experimental value. On the contrary, the AM1 and PM3 results overestimate the experimental results. For investigation of the optical properties of Si nanoclusters as a function of surface passivation, we carried out a B3LYP/6-31G(d)//LDA/SIESTA calculation of the Si35 and Si47 core clusters with full alkyl-, OH-, NH2-, CH2NH2-, OCH3-, SH-, C3H6SH-, and CN- passivations. The calculated optical properties of alkyl passivated Si35 nanoclusters (Si35(CH3)36, Si35(C2H5)36, and Si35(C3H7)36) are close to one another and are higher than those of oxide, nitride, and sulfide passivated Si 35 clusters. In conclusion, the alkyl passivant affects weakly the calculated optical gaps, and the electron-withdrawing passivants generate a red-shift in the energy gap of silicon nanoclusters. A size-dependent effect is also observed for these passivated Si nanoclusters.
