应用第一性原理方法研究了SiP化合物的结构和电子特性,并且将研究推广到其他第四族元素磷化物(IV-P).在研究的各种结构中,SiP单斜晶体结构是能量最低、最稳定的结构.SiP的体弹性模量比CN和CP化合物以及相对应的第三族元素氮化物和磷化物要小.SiP不同的结构间能发生相变,其单斜晶体结构(monoclinic)在压强为6.2 GPa, 15.0 GPa, 19.3 GPa, 20.0 GPa 和 10.3 GPa时分别转变成GeP型结构、Rhom.型结构、β-InS型结构、 CsCl型结构和NaCl型结构.能带计算结果显示SiP单斜晶体结构(monoclinic)和GaSe型结构是间接带隙分别为1.123 eV 和 0.123 eV的半导体,SiP其他结构则显示出金属特性.其他化学比为1:1的第四族元素磷化物(IV-P)具有相同的性质.     

TiO_2纳米管电子结构和光学性质的第一性原理研究

运用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,系统研究了小尺寸锐钛矿相(n,0)型Ti O2纳米管(D16)的几何构型、电子结构和光学性质.结果表明:随着管径增大,体系单位Ti O2分子的形成能降低,体系趋于稳定;在管径14左右,(n,0)型Ti O2纳米管会发生一次构型的转变.能带分析显示,Ti O2纳米管的电子态比较局域化,小管径下(D14)其导电性更好;随着构型的转变,Ti O2纳米管由直接带隙转变为间接带隙,并且带隙值随着管径的增大而增大,这是由于π轨道重叠效应的影响大于量子限域效应所导致的结果.两种效应的竞争,使得Ti O2纳米管的介电函数虚部ε2(ω)谱的峰值位置随管径增大既可能红移也可能蓝移,管径大于9(即(8,0)管)之后,Ti O2纳米管的光吸收会出现明显的增强.

First-principles study on the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin ZnO nanofilms

Using first-principles density-functional calculations, we have studied the structural and electronic properties of ultrathin ZnO {0001} nanofilms. The structural parameters, the charge densities, band structures and density of states have been investigated. The results show that there are remarkable charge transfers from Zn to O atoms in the ZnO nanofilms. All the ZnO nanofilms exhibit direct wide band gaps compared with bulk counterpart, and the gap decreases with increased thickness of the nanofilms. The decreased band gap is associated with the weaker ionic bonding within layers and the less localization of electrons in thicker films. A staircase-like density of states occurs at the bottom of conduction band, indicating the two-dimensional quantum effects in ZnO nanofilms.     

First-principles study on structural and electronic properties of copper nanowire encapsulated into GaN nanotube

We present a systemic study of the structural and electronic properties of Cu_n nanowires (n=5, 9 and 13) encapsulated in armchair (8,8) gallium nitride nanotubes (GaNNTs) using the first-principles calculations. We find that the formation processes of these systems are all exothermic. The initial shapes are preserved without any visible changes for the Cu₅@(8,8) and Cu₉@(8,8) combined systems, but a quadratic-like cross-section shape is formed for the outer nanotube of the Cu₁₃@(8,8) combined system due to the stronger attraction between nanowire and nanotube. The electrons of Ga and N atoms in outer GaN sheath affect the electron conductance of the encapsulated metallic nanowire in the Cu₁₃@(8,8) combined system. But in the Cu₅@(8,8) and Cu₉@(8,8) combined systems, the conduction electrons are distributed only on the copper atoms, so charge transport will occur only in the inner copper nanowire, which is effectively insulated by the outer GaN nanotube. Considering the maximal metal filling ratio in nanotube, we know that the Cu₉@(8,8) combined system is top-priority in the ultra-large-scale integration (ULSI) circuits and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) devices that demand steady transport of electrons.     

高压下LiNbO3晶体电子结构与光学性质的第一性原理研究

First-principles study of the electronic and optical properties of ZnO nanowires

The geometric, energetic, electronic structures and optical properties of ZnO nanowires (NWs) with hexagonal cross sections are investigated by using the first-principles calculation of plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential technology based on the density functional theory (DFT). The calculated results reveal that the initial Zn-O double layers merge into single layers after structural relaxations, the band gap and binding energies decrease with the increase of the ZnO nanowire size. Those properties show great dimension and size dependence. It is also found that the dielectric functions of ZnO NWs have different peaks with respect to light polarization, and the peaks of ZnO NWs exhibit a significant blueshift in comparison with those of bulk ZnO. Our results gives some reference to the thorough understanding of optical properties of ZnO, and also enables more precise monitoring and controlling during the growth of ZnO materials to be possible.

First-principles study on structural and electronic properties of AlNSix heterosheet

Under generalized gradient approximation (GGA), the structural and electronic properties of AlN and Si sheets, hydrogen terminated AlN and Si nanoribbons with hexagonal morphology and 2, 4, 6 zigzag chains across the ribbon width and the hexagonally bonded heterosheets AlNSi_x (x=2, 4, and 6) consisting of hexagonal networks of AlN (h-AlN) strips and silicene sheets with zigzag shaped borders have been investigated using the first-principles projector-augmented wave (PAW) formalism within the density function theory (DFT) framework. The AlN sheet is an indirect semiconductor with a band gap of 2.56 eV, while the Si sheet has a metallic character since the lowest unoccupied conduction band (LUCB) and the highest occupied valence band (HOVB) meet at one k point from Γ to Z. In the semiconductor 6-ZAlNNR, for example, the states of LUCB and HOVB at zone boundary Z are edge states whose charges are localized at edge Al and N atoms, respectively. In metallic 6-ZSiNR, a flat edge state is formed at the Fermi level E_F near the zone boundary Z because its charges are localized at edge Si atoms. The hybridizations between the edge states of h-AlN strips and silicene sheets result in the appearance of border states in the zigzag borders of heterosheets AlNSi_x whose charges are localized at two atoms of the borders with either bonding or antibonding π character.     

Exploration the p-type doping mechanism of GaAs nanowires from first-principles study

Using first-principle calculations, we present a systematic investigation upon the influence of p-type doping on the structural and electronic properties of H-passivated GaAs nanowires with wurtzite structure. The GaAs nanowire models of different doping types, different doping elements, different doping positions and different doping concentrations are established. The calculated formation energies show that Zn element becomes more competitive or even slightly favored in realizing p-type doping compared to Be element. For an individual Zn incorporation model, Zn atom tends to substitute the subsurface Ga atom. As increasing Zn doping concentration, the p-type doping process becomes more and more difficult. Besides, both interstitial and substitutional doping lead to the distortion of atomic structure near impurity atoms and cause the ionicity of GaAs nanowires enhanced. The p-type doped GaAs nanowires models are all direct band gap semiconductors. After substitutional doping, the total density of state curves shift toward higher energy sides and the Fermi level entering valence bands. Our calculations provide a significant reference for the preparation of p-type doping GaAs nanowire, which has a promising potential application in the field of photocathodes.     

Structural and electronic properties of copper nanowire encapsulated into BeO nanotube: First-principles study

We present a systematic study on the structural and electronic properties of close-packed Cu nanowires encapsulated in a series of zigzag (n,0) BeONTs using first-principles calculations. The initial shapes (cylindrical CuNWs and BeONTs) are preserved without any visible changes for the Cu_m@(n,0) (m=6 or 8, 8≤n≤14) combined systems. The most stable combined systems are Cu₆@(10,0) and Cu₈@(11,0) with an optimal tube-wire distance of about 2.8 Å and a simple superposition of the band structures of their components near the Fermi level. A quantum conductance of 3G₀ is obtained for both Cu₆ and Cu₈ nanowires in either free-standing state or filled into BeONTs. The electron transport will occur only through the inner CuNW and the inert outer BeONT serves well as insulating cable sheath. So the Cu₆@(10,0) and Cu₈@(11,0) combined systems is top-priority in the ULSI circuits and MEMS devices that demand steady transport of electrons.
