First-principles investigation of the effects of strain on elastic thermal,and optical properties of CuGaTe_2

Based on the density functional theory, the influences of strain on structural, elastic, thermal and optical properties of CuGaTe_2 are discussed in detail. It is found that the tensile strain on CuGaTe_2 is beneficial to the decrease of lattice thermal conductivity by reducing the mean sound velocity and Debye temperature. Moreover, all strained and unstrained CuGaTe_2 exhibit rather similar optical characters. But the tensile strain improves the ability to absorb sunlight in the visible range.These research findings can give hints for designing thermoelectric and photovoltaic devices.     

Optoelectronic and elastic properties of metal halides double perovskites Cs_2InBiX_6(X = F,Cl, Br,I)

Structural geometry, electronic band gaps, density of states, optical and mechanical properties of double perovskite halides Cs_2InBiX_6(X = F, Cl, Br, I) are investigated using the density functional theory. These compounds possess genuine perovskite stoichiometry, evaluated using various geometry-based indices like tolerance factor, octahedral factor, and formation energy. The fundamental electronic band gaps are direct and valued in the range 0.80–2.79 e V. These compounds have narrow band gaps(except Cs_2InBiX_6) due to strong orbital coupling of the cations. The valence band maximum and conduction band minimum are confirmed to be essentially of In 5 s and Bi 6 p characters, respectively. The splitting of Bi 6 p bands due to strong spin-orbit coupling causes reduction in the band gaps. These compounds have large dispersion in their bands and very low carrier effective masses. The substitution of halogen atoms has great influence on the optical properties. The mechanical properties reveal that Cs_2InBiX_6(X = F, Cl, Br, I) satisfy the stability criteria in cubic structures.

Structural,electronic, optical and elastic properties of the complex K2PtCl6-structure hydrides ARuH6 (A = Mg,Ca, Sr and Ba): first-principles study

We report a systematic study of the structural, electronic, optical and elastic properties of the ternary ruthenium-based hydrides A₂RuH₆ (A = Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) within two complementary first-principles approaches. We describe the properties of the A₂RuH₆ systems looking for trends on different properties as a function of the A sublattice. Our results are in agreement with experimental ones when the latter are available. In particular, our theoretical lattice parameters obtained using the GGA-PBEsol to include the exchange-correlation functional are in good agreement with experiment. Analysis of the calculated electronic band structure diagrams suggests that these hydrides are wide nearly direct band semiconductors, with a very slight deviation from the ideal direct-band gap behaviour and they are expected to have a poor hole-type electrical conductivity. The TB-mBJ potential has been used to correct the deficiency of the standard GGA for predicting the optoelectronic properties. The calculated TB-mBJ fundamental band gaps are about 3.53, 3.11, 2.99 and 2.68 eV for Mg₂RuH₆, Ca₂RuH₆, Sr₂RuH₆ and Ba₂RuH₆, respectively. Calculated density of states spectra demonstrates that the topmost valence bands consist of d orbitals of the Ru atoms, classifying these materials as d-type hydrides. Analysis of charge density maps tells that these systems can be classified as mixed ionic-covalent bonding materials. Optical spectra in a wide energy range from 0 to 30 eV have been provided and the origin of the observed peaks and structures has been assigned. Optical spectra in the visible range of solar spectrum suggest these hydrides for use as antireflection coatings. The single-crystal and polycrystalline elastic moduli and their related properties have been numerically estimated and analysed for the first time.

First-principles study of the structural,mechanical and electronic properties of ZnX2O4（X=Al,Cr and Ga）

This paper performs first-principles calculations to study the structural,mechanical and electronic properties of the spinels ZnAl2O4 ,ZnGa2O4 and ZnCr2O4 ,using density functional theory with the plane-wave pseudopotential method. Our calculations are in good agreement with previous theoretical calculations and the available experimental data. The studies in this paper focus on the evolution of the mechanical properties of ZnAl2O4 ,ZnGa2O4 and ZnCr2O4 under hydrostatic pressure. The results show that the cubic phases of ZnAl2O4 ,ZnGa2O4 and ZnCr2O4 become unstable at about 50 GPa,40 GPa and 25 GPa,respectively. From analysis of the band structure of the three compounds at equilibrium volume,it obtains a direct band gap of 4.35 eV for ZnAl2O4 and 0.89 eV for ZnCr2O4 ,while ZnGa2O4 has an indirect band gap of 2.73 eV.     

First-principles study on the structural,electronic and optical properties of BiOX (X=Cl,Br, I) crystals

In order to investigate systematically the structural, electronic and optical properties of bismuth oxyhalides BiOX (X=Cl, Br, I) semiconductors, the lattice constants, structural characteristics, band structures, densities of states, atomic charge populations and optical properties of BiOX crystals have been calculated using first-principles based on DFT. The calculated indirect band gaps of BiOCl, BiOBr and BiOI crystals are 2.50, 2.10 and 1.59 eV, respectively. The analysis of densities of states and atomic charge populations for BiOX crystals indicates that, (a) the valance band maximum is mainly contributed to O 2p and X np states and the Bi 6p states dominate the conduction band minimum; (b) the contribution of X ns states obviously increases with the increase of X atomic numbers, and the dispersive energy level becomes more and more significant and (c) the sequence of covalent bonding strength between atoms is Bi–O >Bi–I>Bi–Br>Bi–Cl. In addition, the calculated absorption edges of the absorption coefficients I(ω) for BiOCl, BiOBr and BiOI crystals are 355, 448 and 645 nm, respectively, which agree well with our experimental measurements of 376, 442 and 628 nm and the previous reported results of 370, 440 and 670 nm.     

Electronic and magnetic properties of single-layer and double-layer VX_2(X=Cl,Br) under biaxial stress

First-principles calculations and Monte Carlo simulations reveal that single-layer and double-layer VX_2(X = Cl, Br)can be tuned from antiferromagnetic(AFM) semiconductors to ferromagnetic(FM) state when biaxial tensile stress is applied. Their ground states are all T phase. The biaxial tensile stress at the phase transition point of the double-layer VX_2 is larger than that of the single-layer VX_2. The direct band gaps can be also manipulated by biaxial tensile stress as they increases with increasing tensile stress to a critical point and then decreases. The Néel temperature(TN) of double-layer VX_2 are higher than that of single-layer. As the stress increases, the TNof all materials tend to increase. The magnetic moment increases with the increase of biaxial tensile stress, and which become insensitive to stress after the phase transition points.Our research provides a method to control the electronic and magnetic properties of VX_2 by stress, and the single-layer and double-layer VX_2 may have potential applications in nano spintronic devices.

First-principles investigations on structural,elastic, electronic properties and Debye temperature of orthorhombic Ni3Ta under pressure

The structural, elastic, electronic properties and Debye temperature of Ni₃Ta under different pressures are investigated using the first-principles method based on density functional theory. Our calculated equilibrium lattice parameters at 0 GPa well agree with the experimental and previous theoretical results. The calculated negative formation enthalpies and elastic constants both indicate that Ni₃Ta is stable under different pressures. The bulk modulus B, shear modulus G, Young’s modulus E and Poisson’s ratio ν are calculated by the Voigt–Reuss–Hill method. The bigger ratio of B/G indicates Ni₃Ta is ductile and the pressure can improve the ductility of Ni₃Ta. In addition, the results of density of states and the charge density difference show that the stability of Ni₃Ta is improved by the increasing pressure. The Debye temperature Θ _D calculated from elastic modulus increases along with the pressure.

First-principles study of structural,elastic, electronic and optical properties of RDX under pressure

ABSTRACT

The influences of pressure on structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of α-RDX under pressure from 0 to 40?GPa have been investigated by performing first-principles calculations. The obtained structural parameters based on the GGA-PBE+G calculations are consistent with previous experimental values. The results of B/G, C₁₂-C₄₄ and Poisson's ratio show that α-RDX has changed to ductility under pressure between 0 and 5?GPa. The obvious rotation of NO₂ group in the equatorial position appears, especially in the range of pressure from 10 to 15?GPa, which influences the elastic and mechanical properties of α-RDX. Moreover, we find that the electrons of α-RDX become more active under higher pressure by comparing the curves of DOS under different pressure. Furthermore, the anisotropy of optical properties under different pressures has been shown.
