Comparative study of structural,electronic, optical and thermoelectric properties of GaS bulk and monolayer

The structural, electronic, optical properties of GaS in bulk and monolayer forms have been studied by means of full-potential linearised augmented plane wave calculations within framework of the density functional theory. Generalised gradient approximation and Tran–Blaha modified Becke–Johnson exchange potential (mBJ) were employed for the treatment of exchange-correlation effect in calculations. Our calculated lattice parameters are in good agreement with previous theoretical results and available experimental data. The negative formation enthalpy and cohesive energy indicate that both bulk and monolayer GaS can be synthesised and stabilised experimentally. Our electronic results show that the band gap of GaS monolayer is higher than that of bulk counterpart and strong hybridisation between electronic states of constituent atoms is observed in both cases. The optical properties such as reflectivity, absorption coefficient, refractive index and optical conductivity were derived from calculated complex dielectric function for wide energy range up to 35?eV. Finally, the thermoelectric properties of GaS bulk and monolayer also were calculated using semi-classical Boltzmann theory within the constant relaxation time approximation for investigating their applicability in thermoelectric devices.     

Optical absorption spectroscopy of one-dimensional silicon nanostructures

During the last decade there has been a great development in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The technology of nanostructures synthesis and characterization has grown rapidly and optical spectroscopy has become a very useful characterization technique, since it provides information on the structural, electronic, optical and dynamical properties of materials. Nanostructures have unique physical properties that are different from bulk materials. A wealth of interesting and new phenomena are associated with nanometer-sized structures, such as size-dependent emission or excitation, metallic and semiconductor behavior, etc. Here we present an overview of the linear optical response of one-dimensional silicon nanostructures. In particular, we make a theoretical study of the effects of the size and shape of one-dimensional silicon structures on the absorption spectrum, focusing on the calculation of the linear optical response of clean and hydrogen-adsorbed armchair (6,6) silicon nanotubes. We discuss the changes of the absorption spectrum of silicon nanowires with different diameters and analyze the behavior of the band gap as we go from bulk silicon to one-dimensional silicon nanostructures with nanometer-size diameters.     

Novel two-dimensional PdSe phase: A puckered material with excellent electronic and optical properties

By combining structural search and first-principles calculations, we predict a new stable two-dimensional PdSe monolayer, and systematically investigate its structural, electronic and optical properties. The calculated formation enthalpy, phonon spectra and molecular dynamic simulations confirm that PdSe monolayer possesses excellent thermodynamic and dynamic stability. PdSe monolayer is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap of ∼ 1.10 eV. The carrier transport of PdSe monolayer is dominated by hole and exhibits remarkable anisotropy due to the intrinsic structure anisotropy. The optical properties also show obvious anisotropic characteristic with considerable absorption coefficient and broad absorption from the visible to ultraviolet regions. Benefiting from these excellent physical properties, PdSe monolayer is expected to be a promising candidate as electronic and optoelectronic devices.     

Stress and strain effects on the electronic structure and optical properties of ScN monolayer

Based on the density functional theory, electronic and optical properties of a monolayer scandium nitride structure have been studied under different strain conditions. Our results indicate that both biaxial compressive and tensile strain effects lead to change the band gap of this structure with different rates. Also, optical absorption spectrum peaks experience an obvious red and blue shifts with the exerting of tensile and compressive strains, respectively. Our results express that ScN monolayer can be the promising candidate for the future nano-base electrical and optical devices.     

Raman Scattering Modification in Monolayer ReS_2 Controlled by Strain Engineering

Regulation of optical properties and electronic structure of two-dimensional layered ReS_2 materials has attracted much attention due to their potential in electronic devices.However,the identification of structure transformation of monolayer ReS_2 induced by strain is greatly lacking.In this work,the Raman spectra of monolayer ReS_2 with external strain are determined theoretically based on the density function theory.Due to the lower structural symmetry,deformation induced by external strain can only regulate the Raman mode intensity but cannot lead to Raman mode shifts.Our calculations suggest that structural deformation induced by external strain can be identified by Raman scattering.     

First principle study on interfacial interaction of black phosphorus and CsBr vdW heterostructure

Two dimensional crystalline materials have attracted much attentions due to the establishment of heterostructure that can adjust their electrical and optical properties, and have potential applications in lasers, light-emitting diodes, solar cells and high mobility transistors. And the interface engineering is an effective route to tune structural and electrical properties in semiconductor heterostructures. In this study, the electronic structure, charge transport and optical properties of monolayer caesium bromide and black phosphorus (CsBr/BP) heterostructure are calculated by the first principle based on density functional theory (DFT). It was found that the characteristics of electronic band structures of the monolayer CsBr and BP remain in the heterostructure, and the effective mass and carrier mobility are highly anisotropic. When the heterostructure is uniaxially stretched, the mobility of electron is greater than that of the hole, while the biaxial stretching is just the opposite, the mobility of hole is greater than that of the electron. In addition, compared with the CsBr monolayer, the light absorption of the heterostructure is significantly enhanced, especially in the infrared, indicating that the CsBr/BP heterostructure can be well applied to photovoltaic devices in the future.     

Perfect Narrow-Band Absorber of Monolayer Borophene in All-Dielectric Grating Based on Quasi-Bound State in the Continuum

Borophene has the unique optical properties of two-dimensional materials and its own anisotropic characteristics. This work proposes a perfect narrow-band absorption structure to enhance the interaction of light with the monolayer borophene inserted into two different dielectric gratings. The structure efficiently improves absorption efficiency based on the quasi-bound states in the continuum (Q-BIC). The absorption characteristics are numerically simulated and theoretically analyzed by using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method and the finite element method (FEM). The absorption efficiency of the monolayer borophene is high, up to 99.18% with a full-width at half maximum (FWHW) of 0.62 nm, achieving nearly perfect narrow-band absorption. Moreover, the mechanism of enhanced absorption of monolayer borophene is verified by the coupled mode theory (CMT), which indicates that the nearly perfect absorption is also derived from the critical coupling. At the same time, the influence of the thickness and width of the two layer dielectric structure on the absorption efficiency is theoretically analyzed. Furthermore, due to the anisotropic optical properties of the structure for TE and TM polarized light, a narrow-band polarization plate or sensor can be realized. The structure designed provides a new possibility to enhance the interaction between monolayer borophene and light.     

Electronic structure and optical properties of Mg_xZn_(1-x)S bulk crystal using first-principles calculations

We perform the first-principles calculations within the framework of density functional theory to determine the elec- tronic structure and optical properties of MgxZnl-xS bulk crystal. The results indicate that the electronic structure and optical properties of MgxZnl_xS bulk crystal are sensitive to the Mg impurity composition. In particular, the MgxZnl-xS bulk crystal displays a direct band structure and the band gap increases from 2.05 eV to 2.91 eV with Mg dopant compo- sition value x increasing from 0 to 0.024. The S 3p electrons dominate the top of valence band, while the Zn 4s electrons and Zn 3p electrons occupy the bottom of conduction band in MgxZnl_xS bulk crystal. Moreover, the dielectric constant decreases and the optical absorption peak obviously has a blue shift. The calculated results provide important theoretical guidance for the applications of MgxZn1-xS bulk crystal in optical detectors.
