Structural,electronic and optical properties of Ca3Bi2: First-principles investigation

In this work by applying first principles calculations structural, electronic and optical properties of Ca₃Bi₂ compound in hexagonal and cubic phases are studied within the framework of the density functional theory using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) approach. According to our study band gap for Ca₃Bi₂ in hexagonal phase are 0.47, 0.96 and 1?eV within the PBE-GGA, EV-GGA and mBJ-GGA, respectively. The corresponding values for cubic phase are 1.24, 2.08 and 2.14?eV, respectively. The effects of hydrostatic pressure on the behavior of the electronic properties such as band gap, valence bandwidths and anti-symmetry gap are investigated. It is found that the hydrostatic pressure increases the band widths of all bands below the Fermi energy while it decreases the band gap and the anti-symmetry gap. In our calculations, the dielectric tensor is derived within the random phase approximation (RPA). The first absorption peak in imaginary part of dielectric function for both phases is located in the energy range 2.0–2.5?eV which are beneficial to practical applications in optoelectronic devices in the visible spectral range. For instance, hexagonal phase of Ca₃Bi₂ with a band gap around 1?eV can be applied for photovoltaic application and cubic phase with a band gap of 2?eV can be used for water splitting application. Moreover, we found the optical spectra of hexagonal phase are anisotropic along E||x and E||z.

Structural, electronic and optical properties of pure and Ni-doped CdI2 layered crystals as explored by ab initio and crystal field calculations

Influence of impurity Ni²⁺ ions on optical absorption spectra of layered CdI₂ single crystals has been considered for localized level of doping. Optical properties of CdI₂:Ni²⁺ crystals were modeled using two independent approaches: (i) DFT-based ab initio calculations and (ii) semi-empirical crystal field theory. The former method allowed for locating the Ni²⁺ 3d states with respect to the host’s band structure, providing a link between the properties of impurity and host itself. The latter method allowed for calculations of crystal field splitting of the Ni²⁺ LS terms, giving an opportunity to assign the main bands in the absorption spectrum of the doped crystal. To increase accuracy in calculating the point charge contribution to the crystal field parameters (CFP), contributions of all crystal lattice ions located at a distance of up to 72.999 Å from the Ni ion were included into the crystal lattice sums. The crystal field Hamiltonian was diagonalized in the space of 25 wave functions of the spin-triplet terms ³F, ³P and the spin-singlet terms ¹S, ¹D, ¹G of the 3d⁸ electron configuration of Ni²⁺ ion. Additional calculations of the band structure and optical functions were performed to reveal the structure of the energy bands, their role in the formation of optical properties of this system in the overlapping impurity-ligand effects. Electron density distribution in the space between atoms before and after doping was compared; hybridization of the Ni 3d states with iodine 5p states was demonstrated. The role of the crystal anisotropy in the observed effects is discussed.     

First-principles calculations for electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of ZnS

The electronic, optical and thermodynamic properties of ZnS in the zinc-blende （ZB） and wurtzite （WZ） structures are investigated by using the plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory （DFT）. The results obtained are consistent with other theoretical results and the available experimental data. When the pressures are above 20.5 and 27 GPa, the ZB-ZnS and the WZ-ZnS are converted into indirect gap semiconductors, respectively. The critical point structure of the frequency-dependent complex dielectric function is investigated and analysed to identify the optical transitions. Moreover, the values of heat capacity Cv and Debye temperature θ at different pressures and different temperatures are also obtained successfully.     

Electronic structures and magnetoelectric properties of tetragonal BaFeO3: an ab initio density functional theory study

First-principles calculations have been performed to investigate the ground state electronic properties of BaFeO₃ (BFO). Local spin density approximation (LSDA) plus U (LSDA+U) treatment modified the metallic behaviour to insulated one with a band gap of 4.12eV. The spontaneous polarization was found to be 89.3\muC/cm² with Berry phase scheme in terms of the modern theory of polarization. Fe-3d e_g were split into two singlet states (d_z² and d _x²-y²}), and Fe-3d t_2g were split into one doublet states(d_xz and d_yz) and one singlet states(d_xy) after Fe and O displaced along the c axis. Meanwhile the occupation numbers of d_z², d_yz, d_xz and O_T p_z (on the top of Fe) were increased at the expense of those in xy plane. Our results showed that it was the sensitivity of hybridization to ferroelectric distortions, not just the total change of hybridization, that produced the possibility of ferroelectricity. Moreover, the increasing occupation numbers of O_T p_z and Fe d_z² favoured the 180^o coupling between Fe-3d e_g and Fe-3d t_2g, leading to ferromagnetic ordering, which has been confirmed by the increase of magnetic moment by 0.13μ_B per formula unit in the polarized direction. Hence, the magnetization can be altered by the reversal of external electric field.     

A study on strain affecting electronic structures and optical properties of wurtzite Mg0.25 Zn0.75O by first-principles

We have made a first principles study to investigate density of states, band structure, the dielectric function and absorption spectra of wurtzite Mg 0.25 Zn 0.75 O. The calculation is carried out in a-axis and c-axis strain changing in the range from 0.3 to -0.2 in intervals of 0.1. The results calculated from density of states show that the bottom of conduction band is always dominated by Zn 4s and the top of valence band is always dominated by O 2p in a-axis and c-axis strain. Zn 4s will shift to higher energy range when a-axis strain changes in the range from 0.3 to 0, and then shift to lower energy range when a-axis strain changes in the range from 0 to -0.2. But Zn 4s will always shift to higher energy range when c-axis strain changes in the range from 0.3 to -0.2. The variations of band gap calculated from band structure and absorption spectra are also investigated, which are consistent with the results obtained from density of states. In addition, we analyse and discuss the imaginary part of the dielectric function ε 2 .     

Structural and electronic behavior of Sr2GdRuO6 complex perovskite

We report experimental and theoretical study of crystallographic lattice and electronic structure of Sr₂GdRuO₆ complex perovskite, which is used as precursor in the fabrication process of superconducting ruthenocuprate RuSr₂GdCu₂O₈. Samples were produced by the standard solid state reaction. Rietveld refinement of experimental X-ray diffraction patterns shows that material crystallizes in a monoclinic structure, which belongs to the P2₁/n (#14) space group, with lattice parameters , , , and tilt angle β=90.258. Calculations of electronic structure were performed by the density functional theory. The exchange and correlation potentials were included through the LDA+U approximation. Density of states (DOS) study was carried out considering the two spin polarizations. Results show Gd are majority responsible for the magnetic character in this material, but Ru contribution is also relevant because d-orbital is closer to Fermi level. Theoretical results evidence that Sr₂GdRuO₆ material behaves as a magnetic semiconductor, with 20μ_B effective magnetic moment.

Using density-functional calculations within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA)+U framework,we investigate the structural,electronic,and magnetic properties of the ground states of SrFeOn (n = 2 and 2.5).The magnetism calculations show that the ground states of both SrFeO2 and SrFeO2.5 have G type antiferromagnetic ordering,with indirect band gaps of 0.89 and 0.79 eV,respectively.The electronic structure calculations demonstrate that Fe cations are in the high-spin state of (dz2 )2(dxz,dyz)2(dxy)1(dx2 y2 )1(S = 2),unlike the previous prediction of (dxz,dyz)3(dxy)1(dz2 )1(dx2 y2 )1(S = 2) for SrFeO2,and in the high-spin state of (dxy,dxz,dyz,dx2 y2 ,dz2 )5(S = 5/2) for SrFeO2.5.
