Two compounds SiC and AlN, normally insoluble in each other below approximately 2000 degrees C, are synthesized as a single-phase solid-solution thin film by molecular beam epitaxy at 750 degrees C. The growth of epitaxial SiCAlN films with hexagonal structure takes place on 6H-SiC(0001) substrates. Two structural models for the hexagonal SiCAlN films are constructed based on first-principles total-energy density functional theory calculations, each showing agreement with the experimental microstructures observed in cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy images. The predicted fundamental band gap is 3.2 eV for the stoichiometric SiCAlN film. 相似文献

The Si3N4 and Ge3N4 are important
structural ceramics with many applications because of their
attractive high temperature and oxidation resistant properties. The
high-pressure and high-temperature spinel phases of these two
materials were noticed to have wide, direct electronic band gaps.
Other single and double spinel nitrides formed from IVA and IVB
group elements have also attracted much attention. Present research
focuses on selecting a special substance with promising optical
properties and stability besides the attractive electronic
properties. The formation energies of spinel nitrides are calculated
and stabilities of a group of spinel nitrides are discussed, the
structural and electronic properties of them are investigated in
detail. By random phase approximation (RPA), the optical properties
of spinel nitrides are researched. We obtain that
γ-SiGe2N4 has some promising properties with
potential technological applications from various aspects. The band
transitions which contribute most to the peak of ε2
have been identified. An assumption is proposed to raise the peak of
ε2. 相似文献

We study the interaction between tin(II) porphyrin (SnPor) with platinum and
non-precious Group 8B metals (iron, cobalt and nickel) by density functional
theory and discuss the electronic properties of the resulting products. We
also model the interaction of the resulting compounds with water where
applicable. Our studies indicate that, SnPor-Ni possesses electronic
properties similar to SnPor-Pt, suggesting that it may possess similar
photocatalytic properties for reduction reactions, such as converting water
to hydrogen gas. 相似文献

Dependencies of electronic structure and lattice properties of InN with zinc-blende structure on hydrostatic pressure are
presented based on band structures computed using the empirical pseudopotential method. The pressure behavior of the pseudopotential
form factors have been analyzed. The effect of pressure on the density of states has been examined. Trends in bonding and
ionicity under pressure are also discussed. Our results show as well that the absolute value of the Fourier transform of the
valence charge density might be useful in the prediction of the phase transition in zinc-blende materials.

A soft, norm-conserving pseudopotential for carbon is presented and its performance tested by calculations on atomic states
and on diamond: electronic energy levels of different atomic configurations, equilibrium lattice constant, bulk modulus, and
the TA(X) frozen-phonon frequency are accurately reproduced. Convergence of the total energy of diamond with the size of the
plane-wave basis set is compared for several frequently used pseudopotentials, and it is shown that calculations with the
reported pseudopotential can be performed at considerably lower cost than with the other norm-conserving pseudopotentials,
without loosing the accuracy of the latter in predicting structural and dynamical properties. The rapid convergence of the
results with the plane-wave cutoff is comparable to the performance of the Vanderbilt's ultrasoft pseudopotentials. The transferability
of the pseudopotential to other electronic configurations is discussed.

Electronic properties and elastic constants of wurtzite, zinc-blende and rocksalt AlN 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Electronic properties and elastic constants of AlN in the wurtzite, zinc-blende and rocksalt structures are investigated using an ab initio pseudopotential method based on the density-functional theory with both the local-density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange-correlation functional. The numerically calculated results compare well with the existing experimental data. For elastic constants of rocksalt AlN our results are predictions. 相似文献

Using a first-principles band-structure method and a
special quasirandom structure (SQS) approach, we systematically
calculate the band gap bowing parameters and p-type doping
properties of (Zn, Mg, Be)O related random ternary and quaternary
alloys. We show that the bowing parameters for ZnBeO and MgBeO
alloys are large and dependent on composition. This is due to the
size difference and chemical mismatch between Be and Zn(Mg) atoms.
We also demonstrate that adding a small amount of Be into MgO
reduces the band gap indicating that the bowing parameter is
larger than the band-gap difference. We select an ideal N atom
with lower p atomic energy level as dopant to perform
p-type doping of ZnBeO and ZnMgBeO alloys. For N doped in
ZnBeO alloy, we show that the acceptor transition energies become
shallower as the number of the nearest neighbor Be atoms
increases. This is thought to be because of the reduction of
p-d repulsion. The NO acceptor transition
energies are deep in the ZnMgBeO quaternary alloy lattice-matched
to GaN substrate due to the lower valence band maximum. These
decrease slightly as there are more nearest neighbor Mg atoms
surrounding the N dopant. The important natural valence band
alignment between ZnO, MgO, BeO, ZnBeO, and ZnMgBeO quaternary
alloy is also investigated. 相似文献

The structural and electronic properties of cubic zinc blende BN, BP, AlN and AlP compounds and their BxAl1−xNyP1−y quaternary alloys, have been calculated using the non relativistic full-potential linearized-augmented plane wave FP-LAPW method. The exchange-correlation potential is treated with the local density approximation of Perdew and Wang (LDA-PW) as well as the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of Perdew-Burke and Ernzerhof (GGA-PBE). The calculated structural properties of BN, BP, AlN and AlP compounds are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical data. A nonlinear variation of compositions x and y with the lattice constants, bulk modulus, direct and indirect band gaps is found. The calculated bowing of the fundamental band gaps is in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical value. To our knowledge this is the first quantitative theoretical investigation on BxAl1−xNyP1−y quaternary alloy and still awaits experimental confirmations. 相似文献

We investigate, using first-principles calculations, the electronic
structure of substitutional and vacancy defects in a boron nitride
monolayer. We found that the incorporation of a substitutional carbon atom
induces appreciable modification on the electronic properties, when compared
to a non-defective boron nitride sheet. The incorporation of substitutional
carbon impurity also induces a significant reduction of the work function.
In addition, we found that defects introduce electronic states in the
energy-gap region, with strong impact on the optical properties of the
material. The calculation results indicate that spin polarization is
obtained when substitutional impurities or vacancy defects are introduced in
the structure 相似文献

By performing first-principles calculations, the intriguing electronic and magnetic properties of the semidecorated sheets of group-IV and III-V binary compounds are investigated. Our results indicate that the semifluorinated and semihydrogenated ab (ab = SiC, GeC, SnC, BN, AlN, and GaN) sheets exhibit diverse electronic and magnetic properties. Accordingly, the electronic and magnetic properties of the semidecorated sheets can be precisely modulated by controlling the adsorbed atoms on the a sites. Further, the preference of ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic coupling can be attributed to the combined effects of both through-bond spin polarization and p-p direct interaction for the semidecorated ab sheets. 相似文献

We have investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of the room temperature ferromagnetic diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) (Zn,Cr)Te with density functional calculations. The electronic and magnetic properties of (Zn,Cr)Te are very similar with those of the typical DMS (Ga,Mn)As. The stronger ionicity of ZnTe plays a key role in the electronic and magnetic properties of (Zn,Cr)Te. 相似文献

Elastic and brittle properties of the B2-MgRE (RE = Sc,Y, Ce,Pr,
Nd,Gd, Tb,Dy, Ho,Er) intermetallics
Y. Wu W. Hu 《The European Physical Journal B - Condensed Matter and Complex Systems》2007,60(1):75-81
The brittle and elastic properties of the B2-MgRE (RE = Sc, Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) intermetallics have been investigated
using
first-principles density functional calculations. The calculated equilibrium
lattice constants and enthalpies of formation are in overall agreement with
the available experiment and theoretical results. The related physical
properties of those compounds are compared with that of ductile YCu. The
Fermi energy occurs above a peak in the DOS for B2-MgRE intermetallics,
whereas for ductile YCu the Fermi energy occurs near a minimum in the DOS.
For B2-YCu, the partial density of states of d-states at the Fermi energy is
low, while for B2-MgRE the RE d-states are partially occupied, indicating
their important roles in the directional bonding for this material. The
Cauchy pressure (C12-C44) and the ratio of bulk to shear modulus
B/G are used to assess the brittle/ductile behavior of B2-MgRE and YCu
compounds. It can be concluded that the B2-MgRE alloys have brittle
behavior. MgSc is the most brittle, and MgHo is the least brittle amongst
those alloys. 相似文献

人们已提出用BAlGaN四元系材料制备紫外光谱区的光发射器件.GaN和AlN二元系是这种四元材料在器件应用中的基础材料.6H-SiC衬底在氮化物生长中因其晶格失配小是一大优势,而且SiC衬底的热膨胀系数也和AlN的很接近.然而,对于AlN外延层来说,需要控制其中的残余应力,因为在SiC衬底上直接生长的AlN外延层中存在着因晶格失配所产生的压缩应力.另一方面,在SiC衬底上直接生长的GaN外延层中存在着拉伸应力.这种拉伸应力起源于GaN比衬底有着更大的热膨胀系数.本文讨论了在6H-SiC衬底上生长的氮化物外延层中残余应力的类型、数量及控制.为此目的,提出了在6H-SiC衬底上,无论是生长AlN,还是生长GaN,都可以采用(GaN/AlN)多层缓冲层的办法,作为控制残余应力的有效方法.我们还讨论了AlN和GaN外延层的结晶质量和残余应力间的关系. 相似文献

The electronic and magnetic properties of the zinc-blende aluminum nitride doped with V and Cr are studied using the density functional theory (DFT), namely the KKR-CPA-PBE method. Pure AlN is found to be a wide band gap semiconductor, and doping V and Cr single impurities generate ferromagnetic half-metallic behavior. Moreover, the values of the formation energy reveal that these compounds are stable systems for all dopant concentrations. A self-consistent energy minimization scheme determines the ferromagnetic state as the stable magnetic state for V- and Cr-doping AlN. A double exchange mechanism is identified as the mechanism responsible for magnetism in our systems. When increasing doping impurities, the total magnetic moments increase linearly and the Curie temperature TC, calculated using the mean-field approximation, shows a significant change. The present findings reveal Cr- and V-doped zinc-blende AlN as potential candidates for high Curie temperature ferromagnetic materials. 相似文献

The electronic properties of rare-earth arsenides have been calculated from first principles. In the calculations we have
treated the rare-earth f electrons both as core-like and as valence-like electrons. We consider the changes in the energy bands and in the density
of states near the Fermi level which are found to be relevant, except for the case of LuAs, and discuss this in relation with
the role played from the rare-earth 5d derived states. Moreover we show that the rare-earth 5d related bands are particularly sensitive to the variation of the lattice constant; change in the lattice constant of less
than 1% leads to a different behaviour with respect to the crossing of the rare-earth 5d derived bands and the As 4p derived bands along the Δ-direction. This point is discussed in connection with the possibility of having a semimetal-semiconductor
transition in the rare-earth arsenides.

We report pseudodielectric functions <ε> of the quaternary semiconductor alloys CuGaxIn1-xSe2. Measurements were done in polycrystalline samples from 0.7 to 5.2 eV at room temperature by spectral ellipsometry. Accurate
values of refractive indices n and extinction coefficients k representative of the bulk materials are obtained from the data.
The structures observed in <ε> are analyzed by fitting the numerically differentiated spectra of d2<ε>(ω)/dω2 to analytic line shapes. The obtained energies are related to given inter-band transitions by taking into account the electronic
band structures of the ternary end-point compounds.

Using the full-potential local-orbital minimum-basis method within the framework of density functional theory, we study the electronic, magnetic and Fermi properties of three quaternary Heusler compounds: NiCoCrAl, NiCoCrGa and NiFeCrGa. Results identify that these compounds are half-metallic ferromagnets with integer spin magnetic moment, and their spin moments follow the Slater–Pauling rule. Accordingly, the origin of gap and magnetic moment are also discussed. In addition, the Fermi surface is further plotted to explore the behavior of electronic states in the vicinity of Fermi level for these compounds. Finally, we argue the influence of tetragonal deformation on electronic and magnetic properties. Meanwhile, the possible L21 disorder is also discussed for NiCoCrAl and NiCoCrGa. 相似文献

We study the change of the electronic structures of nickel silicides, Ni3Si and NiSi2, as well as nickel and silicon through the evolution of their valence band X-ray photoelectron spectra (v-XPS) both experimentally
and theoretically. The experimental spectra are compared to the total and partial densities of states using tight-binding
linear muffin-tin orbital method (TB-LMTO) in the atomic sphere approximation (ASA). Good agreement is found between theory
and experiment.

The gain properties of (A1N)m/(GaN)n superlattice-based quantum cascade structure axe investigated by using a nonequilibrium Green's function (NGF) theory. In this theory, the electron-electron interaction and electron- LO-phonon interaction axe both considered. The gain spectra of QCL axe calculated from some current-driven items, which are derived from these two interactions. The results show that the effect of the electron-electron interaction is notable in the low-photon-energy range and the electron-LO-phonon interaction only takes effect in the high-photon-energy range, where photon energy is close to or larger than LO-phonon energy of GaN materials. 相似文献

We report the results of a detailed study of the occupied and unoccupied electronic structure of dimers of the new heterofullerene
by means of photoemission and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. A close similarity is found between the electronic structures
of pristine and with an additional broadening of the spectra in the former due to the distortion of the fullerene cage caused both by dimerization
and the chemical substitution. Both the occupied and unoccupied electronic states, as well as the interband transitions between
them, attest to the high degree of molecular character retained in the solid state. Comparison of the shake-up structures
in the and X-ray photoemission spectra confirm that the highest lying occupied states in the heterofullerene have a strong degree of
N character, whereas the lowest lying unoccupied states have mainly C character. We also present the optical conductivity
of the heterofullerene (derived from the loss function), which shows an optical gap of 1.4 eV, some 0.4 eV smaller than that
of .
