单层Nb2SiTe4基化合物的带隙异常变化

传统硫族化合物中阳离子相同时,随着阴离子原子序数的增加,价带顶逐渐升高,带隙呈减小趋势.在A₂BX₄基(A=V,Nb,Ta;B=Si,Ge,Sn;X=S,Se,Te)化合物中,观察到随着阴离子原子序数增加,其带隙呈现反常增大的现象.为了探究其带隙异常变化的原因,基于第一性原理计算,对A₂BX₄基化合物的电子结构展开系统地研究,包括能带结构、带边相对位置、轨道间耦合作用以及能带宽度等影响.研究发现,Nb2SiX4基化合物中Nb原子4d轨道能量明显高于阴离子p轨道,其价带顶和导带底主要由Nb原子4d轨道相互作用组成,其带宽主要影响带隙大小.Nb₂SiX₄基化合物的带隙大小通过Nb—Nb和Nb—X键共同作用于Nb原子4d轨道的宽度来控制.当阴离子序数增加时,Nb—Nb键长增加,其相互作用减弱,由Nb原子4d轨道主导的能带变宽,带隙减小;另一方面,Nb—X键长增加又使Nb原子4d带宽变窄,带隙增加,并且Nb—X键长增长占主导,所以带隙最终呈现异常增加的趋势.

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.     

Elastic, electronic, and optical properties of hypothetical SnNNi3 and CuNNi3 in comparison with superconducting ZnNNi3

The elastic, electronic, and optical properties of MNNi₃ (M=Zn, Sn, and Cu) have been calculated using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential technique, which is based on the first-principle density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The optimized lattice parameters, independent elastic constants (C₁₁, C₁₂, and C₄₄), bulk modulus B, compressibility K, shear modulus G, and Poisson's ratio υ, as well as the band structures, total and atom projected densities of states and finally the optical properties of MNNi₃ have been evaluated and discussed. The electronic band structures of the two hypothetical compounds show metallic behavior just like the superconducting ZnNNi₃. Using band structures, the origin of features that appear in different optical properties of all the three compounds has been discussed. The large reflectivity of the predicted compounds in the low energy region might be useful in good candidate materials for coating to avoid solar heating.     

Ab initio electronic structure,bonding and optical properties of two relatively new ceramics Hf2Al3C4 and Hf3Al3C5: A comparative study

The structural, electronic and optical properties of the ternary carbides Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅ are studied via first principles orthogonalized linear combination of atomic orbitals (OLCAO) method. Results on crystal structure, interatomic bonding, band structure, total and partial density of states (DOS), localization index (LI), effective charge (Q*), bond order (BO), dielectric function (ε), optical conductivity (σ) and electron energy loss function are presented and discussed in detail. The band structure plots show the conducting nature of Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅ carbides. DOS results disclose that the total number of states at Fermi level N(E_F) are 1.89 and 2.38 states/(eV unit cell) for Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅ respectively. The Q* calculations show an average charge transfer of 0.723 and 0.711 electrons from Hf and 0.809 and 0.807 electrons from Al to C sites in Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅ respectively. The BO results provide the dominating role of Al–C bonds with BO value of 6.62 (BO%?=?59%) and 6.66 (BO%?=?49%) for Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅ respectively and are considered responsible for the crystals cohesion. The LI results reflect the presence of highly delocalized states in the vicinity of the Fermi level. The dielectric function plots of the real (?₁(?ω)) and imaginary (?₂(?ω)) parts show the anisotropic behavior of Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅. The results on optical conductivity (σ) support the trends observed in dielectric functions. The electron energy loss functions reveal the presence of sharp peaks both in ab-plane and along c-axis around 20?eV in Hf₂Al₃C₄ and Hf₃Al₃C₅ ternary carbides.     

First-principles study on electronic structure and elastic properties of Fe16N2

We have performed first-principles study on structural stability, elastic properties and electronic structure of Fe₁₆N₂ by applying LSDA+U method. The calculated values of formation energy and reaction enthalpy for decomposition reaction indicate that Fe₁₆N₂ is a thermodynamically stable phase at the ground state. The six independent elastic constants are derived and the bulk modulus, Young's modulus, shear modulus, and Poisson's ratio are determined as 180 GPa, 199 GPa, 76 GPa and 0.32, respectively. The elastic constants meet all the mechanical stability criteria. The ductility of Fe₁₆N₂ is predicted by Pugh's criterion. The strong bonding between Fe and N atoms results in high values of elastic constants C₁₁ and C₃₃, and contributes to the strengthening of the Fe₁₆N₂ structural stability. The total and partial densities of states (DOS) suggest the existence of hybridization between N-p and Fe-d bands. The position of the Fermi level in DOS curve implies that Fe₁₆N₂ is a metastable phase.     

Orbital-decomposed electronic and magnetic properties of the double perovskite Sr2FeReO6

The detailed orbital-decomposed electronic structures and magnetic properties of the double perovskite Sr₂FeReO₆ have been studied using the first-principles projector augmented wave (PAW) potential within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Both occupied and unoccupied s and three p states of Fe³⁺ ion are located far away from the Fermi level, while all up-spin states and most down-spin states are completely filled for the s and three p states of Re⁵⁺ ion. The octahedral crystal field of the oxygen atoms around transition-metal (TM) sites splits the five-fold degenerate d states of the free TM atoms into triply degenerate t_2g states with smaller bonding-antibonding splitting and doubly degenerate e_g states with larger bonding-antibonding splitting. The Fe³⁺ and Re⁵⁺ ions are in the states (3d⁵, S=5/2) and (5d², S=1) with magnetic moments 3.70 and −0.86μ_B, respectively and thus antiferromagnetic coupling via oxygen between them. There are no direct interactions between two nearest Fe-Fe or Re-Re pairs, whereas along each Fe-O-Re-O-Fe or Re-O-Fe-O-Re chains, the hybridizations between Fe 3d and 4s, O 2s and 2p, as well as Re 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals are fairly significant.

Structural,electronic and magnetic properties of the double perovskite Pb2FeReO6

The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the double perovskite Pb₂FeReO₆ have been studied by using the first-principles projector augmented wave (PAW) potential within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as well as taking into account the on-site Coulomb repulsive and exchange coupling interactions (GGA+U). The optimized crystal structure of the Pb₂FeReO₆ is a body-centered tetragonal (BCT) with a space group of I4/m and the lattice constants of a=b=5.59 Å and c=7.93 Å, consistent with the experimental results. The two axial transition metal and oxygen (TM–O) distances are slightly larger than the four equatorial TM–O distances and shows the existence of the Jahn–Teller structural distortion in FeO₆ and ReO₆ octahedra. The Fe³⁺ and Re⁵⁺ ions are in the states (3d⁵, S=5/2) and (5d², S=1) with magnetic moments 3.929 and −0.831μ_B respectively and thus antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling via oxygen between them. The half-metallic (HM) ferromagnetic (FM) nature implies a potential application of this new compound in magnetoelectronic and spintronics devices.     

A first-principles calculation on the electronic properties of Si/N-codoped TiO2

To deeply understand the effects of Si/N-codoping on the electronic structures of TiO₂ and confirm their photocatalytic performance, a comparison theoretical study of their energetic and electronic properties was carried out involving single N-doping, single Si-doping and three models of Si/N-codoping based on first-principles. As for N-doped TiO₂, an isolated N 2p state locates above the top of valence band and mixes with O 2p states, resulting in band gap narrowing. However, the unoccupied N 2p state acts as electrons traps to promote the electron-hole recombination. Using Si-doping, the band gap has a decrease of 0.24 eV and the valence band broadens about 0.30 eV. These two factors cause a better performance of photocatalyst. The special Si/N-codoped TiO₂ model with one O atom replaced by a N atom and its adjacent Ti atom replaced by a Si atom, has the smallest defect formation energy in three codoping models, suggesting the model is the most energetic favorable. The calculated energy results also indicate that the Si incorporation increases the N concentration in Si/N-codoped TiO₂. This model obtains the most narrowed band gap of 1.63 eV in comparison with the other two models. The dopant states hybridize with O 2p states, leading to the valence band broadening and then improving the mobility of photo-generated hole; the N 2p states are occupied simultaneously. The significantly narrowed band gap and the absence of recombination center can give a reasonable explanation for the high photocatalytic activity under visible light.

The brittle behavior and structural stability mechanism is also explained through the electronic structures of these intermetallic compounds. The elastic constants are calculated, the bulk moduli, shear moduli, Young's moduli and Poisson ratio value are derived, the brittleness and plasticity of these phases are discussed. Gibbs free energy, Debye temperature and heat capacity are calculated and discussed.
