Phonon anomaly in high-pressure Zn

The equation of states and phonon dispersions of hexagonal zinc have been calculated by the plane-wave pseudopotential method within the generalized-gradient approximation. Weak discontinuities are found in the pressure-volume relation as well as the c/a-volume curve. Phonon dispersions of Zn under pressure have been obtained with a direct method and the results are consistent with the neutron scattering data. At V/V0 approximately 0.88, the calculated frequencies of the acoustic phonons near the zone center softened substantially as a result of an electronic topological transition. The theoretical result is consistent with the observed anomaly in the Lam-Mossbauer factor at low temperature.     

Contribution of spin-orbit interaction to the magnetic susceptibility of interacting electrons in metals

The effect of spin-orbit interaction on the magnetic susceptibility of metals has been investigated using a pseudopotential formalism. The orbital spin and spin-orbit contributions to the magnetic susceptibility of Zn and Cd have been calculated. An important feature is that the spin-orbit contribution is diamagnetic and is of the same order of magnitude as orbital contribution in the case of Zn and Cd.     

Zn1-xCdxS三元混晶的电子结构及光学性质计算与实验验证

基于密度泛函理论的平面波超软赝势法,计算了Zn_1-xCd_xS三元混晶的电子结构和光学性质。计算结果表明,Cd进入ZnS晶格后,禁带宽度变窄,硫空位(V_S)缺陷能级随x值增大逐渐向费米能级移动,在紫外和可见波段的吸收截止波长随着x值增大逐渐红移。采用共沉淀法制备了Zn_1-xCd_xS三元混晶,XRD图谱表明形成了Zn_1-xCd_xS合金相,吸收光谱显示了与理论计算相符的能带和吸收截止边的移动规律,荧光光谱显示与V_S相关的发射峰随x增大逐渐红移,与计算得到的V_S缺陷能级的移动规律相同。     

Band offsets engineering at Cd_xZn_(1-x)S/Cu_2ZnSnS_4 heterointerface

Cd_xZn_(1-x)S/Cu_2ZnSnS_4 (CZTS)-based thin film solar cells usually use Cd S as a buffer layer, but due to its smaller band gap(2.4 e V), Cd S film has been replaced with higher band gap materials. The cadmium zinc sulfide(Cd Zn S) ternary compound has a higher band gap than other compounds, which leads to a decrease in window absorption loss. In this paper, the band offsets at Cd_xZn_(1-x)S/Cu_2ZnSnS_4 (CZTS) heterointerface are calculated by the first-principles, densityfunctional and pseudopotential method. The band offsets at Cd_(1-x)Zn_x S/CZTS heterointerface are tuned by controlling the composition of Zn in Cd_(1-x)Zn_x S alloy, the calculated valence band offsets are small, which is consistent with the commonanion rule. The favorable heterointerface of type-I with a moderate barrier height( 0.3 e V) can be obtained by controlling the composition of Zn in Cd_(1-x)Zn_x S alloy between 0.25 and 0.375.

用赝势微扰法计算某些半导体的能带结构(用于GaAs,GaP和Ga[As1-xPx]合金)

用赝势微扰法计算了GaAs,GaP和Ga[As_1-xP_x]合金的能带。赝势选择的原则是使计算所得直接能隙和间接能隙与实验值相符合。计算结果表明,不但能带次序准确,而且与室温下的实验值符合得很好。基于由GaAs到GaP晶格常数和赝势是线性变化的假设,计算了GaP含量为20％,50％和80％时Ga[As_1-xP_x]合金的能带。当GaP含量为41％时,直接能隙和间接能隙相等,这一数值刚好是Spitzer和Fenner的实验值的平均值。此时,由于很好满足光激射器p-n结所要求的条件,因此可望在光激射器中得到应用,它们的能带也就有一定的参考价值。

Pseudopotential study of the thermodynamic characteristics of supercooled Mg and Zn melts

We use a pseudopotential and thermodynamic perturbation theory to study the thermodynamic characteristics of metallic Mg and Zn melts. A system of solid spheres is selected, to be the ground state. Our calculations of the melting temperature, entropy, and volume are in good agreement with experiment, and the calculated results are insensitive to the choice of pseudopotential. As the temperature is lowered the diameter of the solid spheres and the packing density increase. In addition, there is a marked decrease in the melt's self diffusion coefficient, reflecting the possibility of forming an amorphous structure.Translated from Izvestiya Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 20–24, April, 1984.

Values of the vacancy formation energy have been calculated in polyvalent metals Be, Mg, Zn, Tl, and Sc, without taking into account lattice relaxation energy.

Theoretical investigation of sulfur defects on structural,electronic,and elastic properties of ZnSe semiconductor

The structural, electronic, and elastic properties of Zn Se1-xSx for the zinc blende structures have been studied by using the density functional theory. The calculations were performed using the plane wave pseudopotential method, as implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO. The exchange-correlation potential is treated with the local density approximation pz-LDA for these properties. Moreover, LDA+U approximation is employed to treat the "d" orbital electrons properly. A comparative study of the band gap calculated within both LDA and LDA+U schemes is presented. The analysis of results show considerable improvement in the calculation of band gap. The inclusion of compositional disorder increases the values of all elastic constants. In this study, it is found that elastic constants C11, C12, and C44 are mainly influenced by the compositional disorder. The obtained results are in good agreement with literature.

First-Principles Calculations of Elastic and Thermal Properties of Molybdenum Disilicide

The first-principles plane-wave pseudopotential method using the generalized gradient approximation within the framework of density functional theory is applied to anaylse the equilibrium lattice parameters, six independent elastic constants, bulk moduli, thermal expansions and heat capacities of MoSi2. The quasi-harmonic Debye model, using a set of total energy versus cell volume obtained with the plane-wave pseudopotential method, is applied to the study of the elastic properties, thermodynamic properties and vibrational effects. The calculated zero pressure elastic constants are in overall good agreement with the experimental data. The calculated heat capacities and the thermal expansions agree well with the observed values under ambient conditions and those calculated by others. The results show that the temperature has hardly any effect under high pressure.     

Interaction of rare gas atoms with metal surfaces: A pseudopotential approach

The pseudopotential formulation of the helium-metal surface interaction due to Harris and Liebsch has been generalized to treat the heavier rare gases. The atom-surface repulsion is calculated to first-order in the pseudopotential and is combined with a damped van der Waals interaction to produce the total physisorption potential. Reasonable results are obtained for all the rare gases considered, with a systematically increasing potential-well depth through the rare gas sequence. A single surface-atom model is also considered and its limitations discussed.

Optical spectra and Auger recombination in SiGe/Si heterostructures in 10 μm range of wavelengths

We discuss the possibility of usingp-type SiGe/Si multiple quantum well structures for infrared detection. We calculated the miniband dispersion in these structures using an empirical pseudopotential method including the effects of spin and strain. The absorption spectra of these structures is discussed and the microscopic origin of the absorption peaks identified. We present comparisons between our calculated absorption response and the experimental spectra obtained in recent experiments for both parallel and normal incidence light. We also report full-scale pseudopotential calculations of the Auger recombination in these structures and present a fresh discussion of the conditions which could help to minimize this recombination.     

Theoretical Study of Elastic Properties of Tungsten Disilicide

The plane-wave pseudopotential method using the generalized gradient approximation within the framework of density functional theory is applied to analyse the lattice parameters, elastic constants, bulk moduli, shear moduli and Young's moduli of WSi₂. The quasi-harmonic Debye model, using a set of total energy versus cell volume obtained with the plane-wave pseudopotential method, is applied to the study of the elastic properties and vibrational effects. The athermal elastic constants of WSi₂ are calculated as a function of pressure up to 35GPa. The relationship between bulk modulus and temperature up to 1200K is also obtained. Moreover, the Debye temperature is determined from the non-equilibrium Gibbs function. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data.     

Theoretical study of Mn doping effects and O or Zn vacancies on the magnetic properties in wurtzite ZnO

The effects of including the exchange interaction (J) and Hubbard on-site Coulombic interaction (U) on the structural parameters and magnetic moment of Mn-doped ZnO were explored. The calculations were performed with the plane-wave pseudopotential method along with generalized-gradient approximations (GGA). Using the GGA+U + +J method by applying Hubbard corrections U_d to the Zn 3d states and U_p to the O 2p states, the lattice constants were calculated for various reported Hubbard parameters. The difference in the lattice constants between the calculated results and experimental measurements is within 1% for pure ZnO and pure MnO. This study considers three cases: (i) substitution of Mn for Zn, (ii) substitution of Mn for Zn combined with Zn vacancy, and (iii) substitution of Mn for Zn with O vacancy. Results are shown that the system is ferromagnetic (FM) when zinc vacancies are present. For three cases with oxygen vacancies, only one of them is FM. It was also found that the Hubbard U and exchange interaction J improved the calculated results, allowing it to exhibit good agreement properties for Mn-doped ZnO with the experimental data.
