Tunable electronic properties of GaS-SnS2 heterostructure by strain and electric field

Vertically stacked heterostructures have received extensive attention because of their tunable electronic structures and outstanding optical properties. In this work, we study the structural, electronic, and optical properties of vertically stacked GaS-SnS₂ heterostructure under the frame of density functional theory. We find that the stacked GaS-SnS₂ heterostructure is a semiconductor with a suitable indirect band gap of 1.82 eV, exhibiting a type-II band alignment for easily separating the photo-generated carriers. The electronic properties of GaS-SnS₂ heterostructure can be effectively tuned by an external strain and electric field. The optical absorption of GaS-SnS₂ heterostructure is more enhanced than those of the GaS monolayer and SnS₂ monolayer in the visible light region. Our results suggest that the GaS-SnS₂ heterostructure is a promising candidate for the photocatalyst and photoelectronic devices in the visible light region.     

基于Au/TiO_2/FTO结构忆阻器的开关特性与机理研究

采用简单的一步水热法在FTO导电玻璃上外延生长了锐钛矿TiO_2纳米线,制备了具有Au/TiO_2/FTO器件结构的锐钛矿TiO_2纳米线忆阻器,系统研究了器件的阻变开关特性和开关机理.结果表明,Au/TiO_2/FTO忆阻器具有非易失的双极性阻变开关特性.同时,在103s的时间内,器件在0.1 V的电阻开关比始终保持在20以上,表明器件具有良好的非易失性.此外,器件在低阻态时遵循欧姆导电特性,而在高阻态时则满足陷阱控制的空间电荷限制电流传导机制,同时提出了基于氧空位导电细丝形成与断开机制的阻变开关模型.研究结果表明Au/TiO_2/FTO忆阻器将是一种很有发展潜力的下一代非易失性存储器.     

第一性原理研究二维GaN的电子结构和光学性能

二维GaN是一种性能优良的半导体光电材料,用途广泛.因此,基于密度泛函理论采用广义梯度近似方法系统研究单层、双层和三层二维GaN的电子结构和光学性质,并与三维GaN体材料进行比较.结果表明:随着维数的降低,二维GaN的能带变宽,各能级的能量值起伏变大;不同于三维GaN,二维GaN量子尺寸效应明显,N的2s态和2p态相互作用增强,出现能带重叠,呈现较好的导电特性;分析费米能级发现导带底附近存在明显表面态,这是因为Ga的4s电子态的贡献;随着二维GaN层数的增加,对紫外光的反射特性越来越好,在特定的能量范围内,二维GaN的能量损失为零.由此可知,研究二维GaN的电子结构和光学性质有助于二维GaN在纳米光电器件中的应用.
