Ab-initio study of structural phase transitions and optoelectronic properties in BeH2 at increasing pressure

The structural stability, electronic and optical properties of BeH₂ under high pressure have been studied using the density functional theory (DFT) employing full potential-linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method. The exchange correlation functional has been solved using the generalized gradient approximation. The calculations show that BeH₂ becomes unstable upon application of pressure. At a pressure of 29.40 GPa the ground state α-BeH₂ transforms to hypothetical phase β-BeH₂ and further at a pressure of 53.77 GPa (with respect to the ground state α-BeH₂) β-BeH₂ transforms to γ-BeH₂. In α-BeH₂ phase it remains as an insulator while in β-BeH₂ phase its behavior becomes metallic. But upon further increase in pressure it becomes a semiconductor in γ-BeH₂ phase. Hence the possibility of obtaining high-pressure phases with superconducting properties cannot be ruled out. There occurs a huge equilibrium volume collapse at α- to β-phase transition and relatively smaller volume changes at β- to γ-phase transition. Our obtained value of dielectric constant (3.0) for α-BeH₂ is in excellent agreement with earlier reported value (3.1). Also BeH₂ shows anisotropic behavior in all three studied phases.     

Ab initio calculations of electronic and optical properties in O-doped LiF crystal

We present a first-principle study of electronic and optical properties in pure LiF and O-doped LiF crystals. The pure LiF crystal exhibits a wide band gap while the O-doped LiF crystal shows the less band gap due to the contribution of O 2p. Some optical constants, such as dielectric functions, reflectivity and the refractive index, have been performed. The calculated reflectivity and refractive index from the pure LiF crystal agree with the experimental and recently calculated results in the low-energy range. Meanwhile, the optical properties have also been predicted from the O-doped LiF crystal. The absorption band in 200 nm has been observed, which is relatively close to the experimental result.

Structural, electronic and optical properties of high pressure stable phases of ZnTe

We have performed full potential linear augmented plane wave calculations to investigate the pressure induced phase transition in ZnTe. Total energies of three phases (zinc-blende, cinnabar and Cmcm) are calculated using density functional theory formalism under generalized gradient approximation and Engel-Vosko generalized gradient approximation for the exchange correlation potential approximation. The pressure stability corresponding to zinc-blende, cinnabar and Cmcm phases of ZnTe are computed. We find that cinnabar phase could be formed as a metastable phase by releasing pressure from the high pressure Cmcm phase. The obtained structural, electronic and optical results are compared with previous calculations and available experimental data. Overall good agreement is found.

Stability,electronic structures,and mechanical properties of Fe–Mn–Al system from first-principles calculations

The stability, electronic structures, and mechanical properties of the Fe–Mn–Al system were determined by firstprinciples calculations. The formation enthalpy and cohesive energy of these Fe–Mn–Al alloys are negative and show that the alloys are thermodynamically stable. Fe_3Al, with the lowest formation enthalpy, is the most stable compound in the Fe–Mn–Al system. The partial density of states, total density of states, and electron density distribution maps of the Fe–Mn–Al alloys were analyzed. The bonding characteristics of these Fe–Mn–Al alloys are mainly combinations of covalent bonding and metallic bonds. The stress-strain method and Voigt–Reuss–Hill approximation were used to calculate the elastic constants and moduli, respectively. Fe_(2.5)Mn_(0.5)Al has the highest bulk modulus, 234.5 GPa. Fe_(1.5)Mn_(1.5)Al has the highest shear modulus and Young's modulus, with values of 98.8 GPa and 259.2 GPa, respectively. These Fe–Mn–Al alloys display disparate anisotropies due to the calculated different shape of the three-dimensional curved surface of the Young's modulus and anisotropic index. Moreover, the anisotropic sound velocities and Debye temperatures of these Fe–Mn–Al alloys were explored.     

Investigation of electronic,elastic, and optical properties of topological electride Ca_3Pb via first-principles calculations

Electrides are unique materials with the anionic electrons confined to the interstitial sites, expecting important applications in various areas. In this work, the electronic structure and detailed physical properties of topological electride Ca_3Pb are studied theoretically. By comparing the crystal structures and band structures of Ca_3Pb and Ca_3Pb O, we find that after removing O_2-ions from Ca_3Pb O, the remaining electrons are confined in the vacancies of the Ca_6 octahedra centers,playing the role as anions and forming an additional energy band compared with that of Ca_3Pb. These interstitial electrons partially result in the low work function of Ca_3Pb. Moreover, the calculated mechanic properties imply that Ca_3Pb has a strong brittleness. In addition, the dielectric functions and optical properties of Ca_3Pb are also analyzed.
