过渡金属掺杂在Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3体系中诱导产生磁性的第一性原理研究

The origins of magnetism in transition-metal doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ system are investigated by ab initio calculations. The calculated results indicate that a transition-metal atom substitution for a Ti atom produces magnetic moments, which are due to the spin-polarization of transition-metal 3d electrons. The characteristics of exchange coupling are also calculated, which shows that in Cr-/Mn-/Fe-/Co-doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ system, the antiferromagnetic coupling is favorable. The results can successfully explain the experimental phenomenon that, in Mn-/Fe-doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ system, the ferromagnetism disappears at low temperature and the paramagnetic component becomes stronger with the increase of doping concentration of Mn/Fe/Co ions. Unexpectedly, we find the Na_0.5Bi_0.5Ti_0.67V_0.33iO₃ system with ferromagnetic coupling is favorable and produces a magnetic moment of 2.00 μB, which indicates that low temperature ferromagnetism materials could be made by introducing V atoms in Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃. This may be a new way to produce low temperature multiferroic materials.

运用第一性原理计算方法系统研究了二维单层β-GeS中取代掺杂不同3d过渡金属原子时体系磁性、能带结构和光学性质的变化.结果表明：相比于本征非磁性β-GeS,取代掺杂Ti～Cu导致β-GeS具有磁性,且磁矩呈现出先增加后减小的变化趋势;掺杂后体系能带结构发生明显变化,分别表现出金属,半金属和半导体性质,而且导带底的位置明显向Fermi能级方向移动.相比于本征体系,非本征体系的光学性质表明：其在一定波段范围内出现蓝移现象以及光响应强度发生变化,且掺杂前后体系均表现出高的各向异性.     

3d过渡金属掺杂锐钛矿相TiO2的第一性原理研究

采用基于密度泛函理论的平面波超软赝势方法研究了纯锐钛矿相TiO₂及掺杂3d过渡金属TiO₂的几何、电子结构及光学性质. 计算结果表明掺杂能级的形成主要是掺杂过渡金属3d轨道的贡献，掺杂能级在禁带中的位置是决定TiO₂吸收带边能否出现红移的重要因素. Cr，Mn，Fe，Ni，Co，Cu掺杂使TiO₂的吸收带边产生红移，并在可见光区有一定的吸收系数； Sc，Zn掺杂使TiO₂的吸收带边产生蓝移，但在可见光区有较大的吸收系数；掺V不但使TiO₂的吸收带边产生红移，增强了在紫外光区的光吸收，而且在可见光区有非常大的吸收系数.

过渡金属Fe或Ag掺杂K2Ti6O13的电子结构和光学性质

本文利用基于密度泛函理论（DFT）的第一性原理计算研究了它们的电子结构和光学性质.光学性质的计算结果和实验相一致.结果表明,Fe或Ag掺杂后,K₂Ti₆O₁₃的带隙中出现了杂质带且其带隙值变小,因而使掺杂后的K₂Ti₆O₁₃的吸收边发生红移并实现了其对可见光吸收.其中杂质带主要由Fe 3d态或Ag 4d态与Ti 3d态和O 2p态杂化而成.对于Fe掺杂的K₂Ti₆O₁₃,杂质带位于带隙中间,因此可以作为电子从价带跃迁到导带的桥梁.对于Ag掺杂的K₂Ti₆O₁₃,杂质带位于价带顶附近为受主能级,可以降低光生载流子的复合概率.实验和计算研究表明,通过Fe或Ag的掺杂可以实现了K₂Ti₆O₁₃对可见光的吸收,这对进一步研究K₂Ti₆O₁₃的光学性质具有重要意义.     

Electro- and thermoreflectance of Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3

Electroreflectance measurements in Bi₂Te₃ and Bi₂Se₃ with the electric field vector of the incident light both inclined and perpendicular to the C-axis have been made at room temperature. The structures found by other workers in the reflection measurements are observed in the present experiment, together with new structures at 0.91 eV, 1.18 eV, 1.78 eV, and 2.61 eV in Bi₂Se₃ which are not related to formerly observed transitions. From these measurements, the selection rules for direct optical transitions in Bi₂Te₃ and Bi₂Se₃ are studied. Thermoreflectance measurements are also made at both room and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The positions of the peaks obtained in the present work are compared with the electroreflectance and reflection data.     

Pulsed laser deposition of Bi2Te3 thermoelectric films

Bi₂Te₃ is one of the most used materials for thermoelectric applications at ambient temperature. An improvement of thermoelectric performances through a suitable modification of electron and phonon transport mechanisms is predicted for low dimensional or nanostructured systems, but this requires a control of the material structure down to the nanoscale. We show that pulsed laser deposition provides control on film composition, phase and structure, necessary for a comprehension of the relationship between structure and thermoelectric properties. We have explored the role of deposition temperature, background inert gas type and pressure, laser fluence and target-to-substrate distance and we found the experimental condition ranges to obtain crystalline films containing the Bi₂Te₃ phase only, by comparing energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. Variations of substrate temperature and deposition gas pressure prove to be crucial also for the control of film morphology and crystallinity. Substrate type has no influence on film stoichiometry and crystallinity, but highly oriented growth can be achieved on mica due to van der Waals epitaxy.     

Superconductivity and non-metallicity induced by doping the topological insulators Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3

We show that by Ca doping the Bi₂Se₃ topological insulator, the Fermi level can be fine tuned to fall inside the band gap and therefore suppresses the bulk conductivity. Non-metallic Bi₂Se₃ crystals are obtained. On the other hand, the Bi₂Se₃ topological insulator can also be induced to become a bulk superconductor, with T_c∼3.8 K, by copper intercalation in the van der Waals gaps between the Bi₂Se₃ layers. Likewise, an as-grown crystal of metallic Bi₂Te₃ can be turned into a non-metallic crystal by slight variation in the Te content. The Bi₂Te₃ topological insulator shows small amounts of superconductivity with T_c∼5.5 K when reacted with Pd to form materials of the type Pd_zBi₂Te₃.     

Ab initio calculation of the growth of Te nanorods and Bi2Te3 nanoplatelets

In this paper the growth mechanism of a Te/Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ novel structure is studied by \textit{ab-initio} calculations. The results show that the growth of Te nanorods is determined by the adsorption energy of Te atoms on different crystalline Te surfaces. The adsorption energy of Te on the Te (001) surface is 3.29 eV, which is about 0.25 eV higher than that of Te on the Te (110). This energy difference makes the preferential growth direction along the $<001>$ direction. In addition, the higher surface energy of Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ (110) and the lattice misfit between crystalline Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ and Te along $<001>$ direction are considered to explain the growth of the Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ nanoplatelets, in which Volmer--Weber model is used. The theoretical results are in agreement with experimental observation.     

Structural characterization of thermally evaporated Bi2Te3 thin films

Thermally evaporated Bi₂Te₃ thin films were deposited on glass substrates. X-ray diffraction study confirmed that the growned films are polycrystalline in nature having hexagonal structure. The film exhibits preferential orientation along the [0 1 5] direction for the films of all thickness together with other abundant planes [0 1 1 1] and [1 1 0]. Various structural parameters such as lattice constants, crystallite size, strain, and dislocation density have been calculated and they are found to be thickness dependent. The lattice parameters are found to be a=4.38 Å and c=30.40 Å. The grain size of the films increases with thickness as the dislocation density and the microstrain decreases with thickness. The mean bond energy and the average coordination number of Bi₂Te₃ thin film are found to be 1.72 eV and 2.4, respectively.     

X-ray and electron-energy-loss spectra of Bi, Sb, Te and Bi2Te3, Sb2Te3 chalcogenides

The valence region of Bi and Sb semimetals, of Te, and of their chalcogenides (Bi₂Te₃ and Sb₂Te₃) are explored by means of X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy to find in their p, s and d-like orbital distributions a useful reference for interpreting the interband transitions present in the measured electron-energy-loss spectra. Their common reticular distortion (rhombohedral D₃) and their similar electronic structure justify a discussion of these compounds as a series. Our experimental data are discussed in terms of the calculated band structures.

The adsorption energy of Te on the Te （001） surface is 3.29 eV, which is about 0.25 eV higher than that of Te on the Te （110）.

In addition, the higher surface energy of Bi2Te3 （110） and the lattice misfit between crystalline Bi2We3 and Te along 〈 001 〉 direction are considered to explain the growth of the Bi2Te3 nanoplatelets, in which Volmer-Weber model is used. The theoretical results are in agreement with experimental observation.
