number͑s͒:71.15.Ϫm,71.22.ϩiI.INTRODUCTIONThe zinc monochalcogenides͑Zn X;X=O,S,Se,and Te͒are the prototype II-VI semiconductors.These compoundsare reported to crystallize in the zinc-blende-͑z͒and wurtzite ͑w͒-type structures.The Zn X-z phases are optically isotropic, while the Zn X-w phases are anisotropic with c as the polaraxis.Zn X phases are a primary candidate for optical devicetechnology such as visual displays,high-density opticalmemories,transparent conductors,solid-state laser devices,photodetectors,solar cells,etc.So,knowledge about opticalproperties of these materials is especially important in thedesign and analysis of Zn X-based optoelectronic devices.Optical parameters for some of the Zn X phases havewidely been studied experimentally in the past.Detailed in-formation on this subject is available for ZnO-w,1–9ZnS-w,9ZnS-z,9–11ZnSe-z,9,10and ZnTe-z,9,10,12,13and see the sys-tematized survey in Ref.14.However,there are no experi-mental data on optical properties of ZnSe-w,ZnTe-w,andZnO-z.Furthermore,there is a lack of consistency betweensome of the experimental values for the optical spectra.Thisis demonstrated in Fig.1,which displays reflectivity spectrafor ZnO-w measured at T=300K by three different groups.Dielectric-response functions were calculated using theKramers-Kronig relation.As is seen in Fig.1,intensity of theimaginary part of the dielectric function͑⑀2͒and reflectivity ͑R͒corresponding to the fundamental absorption edge of ZnO-w are higher8than those at the energy range10–15eV, while in Ref.14it is vice versa.The optical spectra in Fig.1 measured using the linearly polarized incident light for elec-tricfield͑E͒parallel͑ʈ͒and perpendicular͑Ќ͒to the c axes are somehow close to those of Ref.7using nonpolarized incident light.Using the experimental reflectivity data,a full set of op-tical spectra for ZnO has been calculated15for the wide en-ergy range0–26eV.Density functional theory16͑DFT͒in the local-density approximation17͑LDA͒has also been used to calculate optical spectra for ZnO-w͑Ref.18͒and ZnS-w ͑Ref.18͒by linear combination of atomic orbitals and for ZnS-z19and ZnSe-z19by self-consistent linear combination of Gaussian orbitals.The optical spectra of ZnO͑including excitons͒has been investigated20by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation.Band-structure studies have been per-formed by linearized-augmented plane-wave method plus lo-cal orbitals͑LAPW+LO͒within the generalized gradient and LDA with the multiorbital mean-field Hubbard potential ͑LDA+U͒approximations.The latter approximation is found to correct not only the energy location of the Zn3d electrons and associated band parameters͑see also Refs.21 and22͒but also to improve the optical response.Despite the shortcoming of DFT in relation to underestimation of band gaps,the locations of the major peaks in the calculated en-ergy dependence of the optical spectra are found to be in good agreement with experimental data.It should be noted that the error in calculation of the band gap by DFT within LDA and generalized-gradient approxi-mation͑GGA͒is more severe in semiconductors with strong Coulomb correlation effects than in other solids.21–25This is due to the mean-field character of the Kohn-Sham equations and the poor description of the strong Coulomb correlation and exchange interaction between electrons in narrow d bands͑viz.,the potential U͒.Not only the band gap͑E g͒but also the crystal-field͑CF͒and spin-orbit͑SO͒splitting ener-gies͑⌬CF and⌬SO͒,the order of states at the top of the valence band͑VB͒,the location of the Zn3d band and its width,and the band dispersion are found21,22,26,27to be incor-rect for ZnO-w by the ab initio full potential͑FP͒and atomic-sphere-approximation͑ASA͒linear muffin-tin orbital ͑LMTO͒methods within the pure LDA͑Refs.26and27͒and by the projector-augmented wave͑PAW͒method within LDA and GGA.21,22Thesefindings were ascribed21,22to strong Coulomb correlation effects.DFT calculations within LDA plus self-interaction correction͑LDA+SIC͒and LDA +U are found21,22,26to rectify the errors related to⌬CF andPHYSICAL REVIEW B75,155104͑2007͒⌬SO ,order of states at the top VB,and width and location of the Zn 3d band,as well as effective masses.In other semi-conductors,in which the Coulomb correlation is not suffi-ciently strong,the ⌬CF and ⌬SO values derived from DFT calculations within LDA are found to be quite accurate.This was demonstrated for diamondlike group IV ,z -type group III-V ,II-VI,and I-VII semiconductors,28w -type AlN,GaN,and InN,29using the LAPW and V ASP -PAW,the w -type CdS and CdSe,27z -type ZnSe,CdTe,and HgTe,30using the ab initio LMTO-ASA,and z -and w -type ZnSe and ZnTe ͑Refs.21and 22͒as well as z -type CdTe,31using the V ASP -PAW and FP LMTO methods.Although the SO splitting at the top of VB is known to play an important role in electronic structure and chemical bonding ofsemiconductors,21,22,26,28–30,32,33there is no systematic study of the role of the SO coupling in optical properties of these materials.Several attempts have been undertaken to resolve the DFT eigenvalue problem.One such approach is the utilization of the GW approximation ͑“G”stands for one-particle Green’s function as derived from many-body perturbation theory and “W”for Coulomb screened interactions ͒.Although GW re-moves most of the problems of LDA with regard to excited-state properties,it fails to describe the semiconductors with strong Coulomb correlation effects.For example,two studies of the band gap of ZnO calculated using the GW correction underestimated E g by 1.2eV ͑Ref.34͒and overestimated it by 0.84eV.35Calculations for Zn,Cd,and Hg monochalco-genides by the GW approach showed 36that the band-gap underestimation is in the range 0.3–bination of exact-exchange ͑EXX ͒DFT calculations and the optimized-effective GW potential approach is found 37to improve the agreement with the experimental band gaps and Zn 3d en-ergy levels.Band gaps calculated within the EXX treatment are found to be in good agreement with experiment for thes -p semiconductors.38,39Excellent agreement with experi-mental data was obtained 39also for locations of energy levels of the d bands of a number of semiconductors and insulators such as Ge,GaAs,CdS,Si,ZnS,C,BN,Ne,Ar,Kr,and Xe.Another means to correct the DFT eigenvalue error is to use the screened-exchange LDA.40Compared to LDA and GW,this approximation is found to be computationally much less demanding,permitting self-consistent determination of the ground-state properties and giving more correct band gaps and optical properties.Other considered approaches for ab initio computations of optical properties involve electron-hole interaction,41partial inclusion of dynamical vertex cor-rections that neglect excitons,42and empirical energy-dependent self-energy correction according to the Kohn-Sham local-density theory of excitation.19However,the simplest method is to apply the scissor operator,43which displaces the LDA eigenvalues for the unoccupied states by a rigid energy ing the latter method,excellent agree-ment with experiments has been demonstrated for lead monochalcogenides 44and ferroelectric NaNO 2.45However,the question as to whether the rigid energy shift is generally applicable to semiconductors with strong Coulomb correla-tion effects is open.In this work,electronic structure and optical properties of the Zn X -w and -z phases have been studied in the energy range from 0to 20eV based on first-principles band-structure calculations derived from DFT within the LDA,GGA,and LDA+U .PUTATIONAL DETAILSExperimentally determined lattice parameters have been used in the present ab initio calculations ͑Table I ͒.The ideal positional parameter u for Zn X -w is calculated on the as-sumption of equal nearest-neighbor bond lengths:27u =13ͩa cͪ2+14.͑1͒The values of u for the ideal case agree well with the experi-mental values u *͑see Table I ͒.Self-consistent calculations were performed using a 10ϫ10ϫ10mesh according to the Monkhorst-Pack scheme for the Zn X -z phases and the ⌫-centered grid for the Zn X -w phases.A.Calculations byV ASPpackageOptical spectra have been studied based on the band-structure data obtained from the V ASP -PAW package,55which solves the Kohn-Sham eigenvalues in the framework of the DFT ͑Ref.16͒within LDA,17GGA,56and the simplified ro-tationally invariant LDA+U .23,24The exchange and correla-tion energies per electron have been described by the Perdew-Zunger parametrization 57of the quantum Monte Carlo results of Ceperley and Alder.58The interaction be-tween electrons and atomic cores is described by means of non-norm-conserving pseudopotentials implemented in the V ASP package.55The pseudopotentials are generated in accor-dance with the PAW ͑Refs.59and 60͒method.The use of the PAW pseudopotentials addresses the problem ofinad-FIG.1.Reflectivity spectra R ͑␻͒for ZnO-w determined experi-mentally at 300K in Refs.9and 14͑solid circles ͒,Ref.8͑open circles ͒,and Ref.7͑solid lines

polarized incident light was used in the experiments.KARAZHANOV et al.PHYSICAL REVIEW B 75,155104͑2007͒equate description of the wave functions in the core region ͑common to other pseudopotential approaches61͒,and its ap-plication allows us to construct orthonormalized all-electron-like wave functions for Zn3d and4s and s and p valence electrons of the X atoms under consideration.LDA and GGA pseudopotentials have been used,and the completelyfilled semicore Zn3d shell has been considered as valence states.It is well known that DFT calculations within LDA and GGA locate the Zn3d band inappropriately close to the top-most VB,hybridizing the O p band,falsifying the band dis-persion,and reducing the band gap.Nowadays,the problem is known to be solved by using the LDA+SIC and LDA +U.21,22,26,62–64For the DFT calculations within LDA+U, explicit values of the parameters U and J are required as input.In previous papers,21,22we have estimated the values of the U and J parameters within the constrained DFT theory65and in a semiempirical way by performing the cal-culations for different values of U and forcing it to match the experimentally established66location of the Zn3d bands. Based on the results,21,22the values of the parameters U and J listed in Table I are chosen to study the optical spectra.B.Calculations by MINDLAB packageFor investigation of the role of the SO coupling in elec-tronic structure and optical properties of Zn X,DFT calcula-tions have been performed using the MINDLAB package,67 which uses the full potential linear muffin-tin orbital͑FP LMTO͒method.For the core charge density,the frozen-core approximation is used.The calculations are based on LDA with the exchange-correlation potential parametrized accord-ing to Gunnarsson-Lundquist68and V osko-Wilk-Nussair.69The base geometry in this computational method consists of a muffin-tin part and an interstitial part.The basis set is comprised of linear muffin-tin orbitals.Inside the muffin-tin spheres,the basis functions,charge density,and potential are expanded in symmetry-adapted spherical harmonic functions together with a radial function and a Fourier series in the interstitial.C.Calculation of optical propertiesFrom the DFT calculations,the imaginary part of the di-electric function⑀2͑␻͒has been derived by summing transi-tions from occupied to

dielectric function.The calculated optical spectra yield unbroadened functions and,consequently,have more structure than the experimental ones.44,45,70,71To facilitate a comparison with the experimen-tal findings,the calculated imaginary part of the dielectric function has been broadened.The exact form of the broad-ening function is unknown.However,analysis of the avail-able experimentally measured optical spectra of Zn X shows that the broadening usually increases with increasing excita-tion energy.Also,the instrumental resolution smears out many fine features.These features have been modeled using the lifetime broadening technique by convoluting the imagi-nary part of the dielectric function with a Lorentzian with a full width at half maximum of 0.002͑ប␻͒2eV,increasing quadratically with the photon energy.The experimental reso-lution was simulated by broadening the final spectra with a Gaussian,where the full width at half maximum is equal to 0.08eV.III.RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONA.Band structureThe optical spectra are related to band dispersion and probabilities of interband optical transitions.So,it is of in-terest to analyze the electronic structure in detail.Band dis-persions for Zn X -w and Zn X -z calculated by DFT within LDA and LDA+U are presented in Fig.2.The general fea-tures of the band dispersions are in agreement with previous studies ͑see,e.g.,Refs.26,62,and 72͒.It is seen from Fig.2that the conduction-band ͑CB ͒minima for Zn X -w and Zn X -z are much more dispersive than the VB maximum,which shows that the holes are much heavier than the CB electrons in agreement with experimental data 73,74for the effective masses and calculated with FP LMTO and ͑Ref.26͒linear combination of atomic orbitals,18as well as with our findings.21,21Consequently,mobility of electrons is higher than that of holes.Furthermore,these features indicate that p electrons of X ͑that form the topmost VB states ͒are tightly bound to their atoms and make the VB holes less mobile.Hence,the contribution of the holes to the conductivity is expected to be smaller than that of CB electrons even though the concentration of the latter is smaller than that of the former.These features emphasize the predominant ionic na-ture of the chemical bonding.Another interesting feature of the band structures is that the VB maximum becomes more dispersive with increasing atomic number of X from O to Te.As noted in our previous contributions,21,22the band gaps of Zn X calculated by DFT within LDA,GGA,and LDA +U are underestimated and the question as to whether it is possible to shift the CB states rigidly was kept open.As found from the optical spectra discussed on the following sections,rigid shifts of the CB states up to the experimen-tally determined locations can provide a good first approxi-mation for the stipulation of the band gap.So,for the band dispersions in Fig.2,we have made use of this simple way for correcting the band gaps calculated by DFT.The only problem in this respect was the lack of an experimental band-gap value for ZnO-z .To solve this problem,the experi-mental and calculated ͑by DFT within LDA ͒band gaps ͑E g ͒of the Zn X series were plotted as a function of the atomic number of X .As seen from Fig.3,E g for the Zn X -w phases are very close to the corresponding values for the Zn X -z phases and the shape of the experimentaland calculated functional dependencies is in conformity.On this basis,theFIG.2.Band dispersion for ZnO-w ,ZnS-w ,ZnSe-w ,ZnTe-w ,ZnO-z ,ZnS-z ,ZnSe-z ,and ZnTe-z calculated according to LDA ͑solid lines ͒and LDA+U ͑dotted lines ͒.The Fermi level is set to zero energy.KARAZHANOV et al.PHYSICAL REVIEW B 75,155104͑2007͒band gap of ZnO-z is estimated by extrapolating the findings for Zn X -z from ZnS-z to ZnO-z .This procedure gave E g Ϸ3.3eV for ZnO-z .It is well known that not only band gaps are underesti-mated within LDA and GGA,but also band dispersions come out incorrectly,whereas location of energy levels of the Zn 3d electrons are overestimated ͑see,e.g.,Refs.20–22and 63͒.As also seen from Fig.2,calculations within the LDA+U approach somewhat correct the location of the en-ergy levels of the Zn 3d electrons.The elucidation of the eigenvalue problem and the order of states at the topmost VB from LDA,GGA,and LDA+U calculations are discussed in Refs.20–22and 26and will not be repeated here.Examination of Fig.2shows that the VB comprises three regions of bands:first a lower region consists of s bands of Zn and X ,a higher-lying region of well localized Zn 3d bands,and on top of this a broader band dispersion originat-ing from X -p states hybridized with Zn 3d states.The latter subband is more pronounced in ZnO than in the other Zn X phases considered.The hybridization is most severe accord-ing to the LDA and GGA calculations,whereas the LDA +U calculations somehow suppress this and improve the band-gap underestimation.A more detailed discussion of these aspects is found in Refs.21and 22.The SO splitting at the topmost VB is known to play an important role for the electronic structure and chemical bonding of solids.28,29,32In semiconductors with z -type struc-ture,the SO splitting energy is determined as the difference between energies of the topmost VB states with symmetry ⌫8v and ⌫7v .28,29,32In the w -type compounds,the topmost VB is split not only by SO interaction but also by CF,giving rise to three states at the Brillouin-zone center.To calculate theSO splitting energy for w -type phases,the quasicubic model of Hopfield 75is commonly used.It is well known that the SO splitting energy derived from ab initio calculations agrees well with experimental data only for some of the semiconductors.This is demonstrated,for example,for all diamondlike group IV and z -type group III-V ,II-VI,and I-VII semiconductors,28w -type AlN,GaN,and InN,29Zn X -w and -z ͑X =S,Se,and Te ͒,21,22and CdTe.31However,the errors in estimated SO and CF splitting ener-gies by LDA calculations are significant for semiconductors with strong Coulomb correlation effects,as demonstrated,e.g.,for ZnO.21,22,26For such systems,DFT calculations within LDA+U ͑Refs.21,22,and 26͒are shown to provide quite accurate values for ⌬CF and ⌬SO .Overestimation of the p -d hybridization in various variants of the DFT can also lead to the wrong spin-orbit coupling of the valence bands.76,77Systematic study of the SO coupling parameters was per-formed for zinc-blende II-VI semiconductors ͑Ref.30͒using the TB and LMTO methods,as well as for all diamondlike and zinc-blende semiconductors ͑Ref.28͒using the FLAPW method with and without the p 1/2local orbitals and the frozen-core PAW method implemented into V ASP .The cor-rections coming from the inclusion of the local p 1/2orbitals are found to be negligible for the compounds with light at-oms.Analysis of these results shows that the SO splitting energy coming from calculations using the V ASP -PAW shows good agreement with the experimental data.This result was also obtained 21recently for Zn X of wurtzite and zinc-blende structures.As demonstrated in Refs.21and 22the SO split-ting energy ͑⌬SO ͒increases when one moves from ZnO-z to ZnTe-z ,in agreement with earlier findings of Ref.28.To study the role of the SO coupling in band dispersion,the present ab initio calculations have been performed by V ASP and MINDLAB packages and spin-orbit splitting energy is found.The results are presented in Table II .Analysis of Table II shows that ͑⌬SO ͒calculated by MINDLAB is quite accurate.As expected,band dispersions calculated with and with-out the SO coupling differ little when the SO splittingenergyFIG.3.Band gaps for Zn X -w

Experiment,Ref.79.ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES …PHYSICAL REVIEW B 75,155104͑2007͒is small.However,the difference increases when one moves from ZnO to ZnTe.This feature is demonstrated in Table II and Fig.4for band dispersions of ZnO-z ,ZnO-w ,ZnTe-z ,and ZnTe-w calculated by V ASP with and without including the SO coupling.As is well known ͑see,e.g.,Refs.21,26,and 27͒,without the SO coupling,the top of the VB of Zn X -w is split into a doublet and a singlet state.In the band structure,the Fermi level is located at the topmost one ͑Fig.4͒,which is the zero energy.Upon inclusion of the SO cou-pling into calculations,the doublet and singlet states are split into three twofold degenerate states called A ,B ,and C states with energies E g ͑A ͒,E g ͑B ͒,and E g ͑C ͒,respectively,80ar-ranged in order of decreasing energy,i.e.,E g ͑A ͒ϾE g ͑B ͒ϾE g ͑C ͒.The center of gravity of the A ,B ,and C states,located at ͓E g ͑A ͒−E g ͑C ͔͒/3below the topmost A state,re-mains to be nearly the same as the topmost VB,correspond-ing to the case without the SO coupling.26,27Consequently,to compare band structures calculated with and without the SO coupling,one should plot the band structure with the Fermi energy at the center of gravity of the A ,B ,and C states for the former and at the topmost VB for the latter.Hence,when the SO coupling is applied,the A and B states as well as the bottommost CB move upwards to ͓E g ͑A ͒−E g ͑C ͔͒/3in en-ergy,whereas the C state moves downwards to ͓E g ͑A ͒−E g ͑C ͔͒2/3compared to the center of gravity.Then,posi-tions of the lowest VB region calculated with and without the SO coupling remain nearly identical.B.General features of optical spectra of Zn XSince optical properties of solids are based on the band structure,the nature of the basic peaks in the optical spectracan be interpreted in terms of the interband transitions re-sponsible for the peaks.Such an interpretation is available for semiconductors with z -and w -type structures.11,14,81In order to simplify the presentation of the findings of this work,the labels E 0,E 1,and E 2of Ref.11͑from the reflec-tivity spectra ͒were retained in Table III and Fig.4.The subscript 0is ascribed to transitions occurring at ⌫,the sub-script 1to transitions at points in the ͓111͔direction,and the subscript 2to transitions at points in the ͓100͔direction ͑re-ferring to the k space for the z -type structure ͒.Assignment of the E 0,E 1,and E 2peaks to optical transitions at high-symmetry points is presented in Table III and Fig.4.The optical spectra ⑀1͑␻͒,⑀2͑␻͒,␣͑␻͒,R ͑␻͒,n ͑␻͒,and k ͑␻͒calculated by DFT within LDA,GGA,and LDA+U are displayed in Figs.5–8and compared with available experi-mental findings.14The spectral profiles are indeed very simi-lar to each other.Therefore,we shall only give a brief ac-count mainly focusing on the location of the interband optical transitions.The peak structures in Figs.5–8can be explained from the band structure discussed above.All peaks observed by experiments ͑see,e.g.,Refs.11and 14͒are reproduced by the theoretical calculations.Because of the underestimation of the optical band gaps in the DFT calculations,the locations of all the peaks in the spectral profiles are consistently shifted toward lower energies as compared with the experimentally determined spectra.Rigid shift ͑by the scissor operator ͒of the optical spectra has been applied,which somewhat removed the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental results.In general,the cal-culated optical spectra qualitatively agree with the experi-mental data.In our theoretical calculations,the intensity of the major peaks are underestimated,while the intensity of some of the shoulders is overestimated.This result is in good agreement with previous theoretical findings ͑see,e.g.,Ref.19͒.The discrepancies are probably originating from the ne-glect of the Coulomb interaction between free electrons and holes ͑excitons ͒,overestimation of the optical matrix ele-ments,and local-field and finite-lifetime effects.Further-more,for calculations of the imaginary part of the dielectric-response function,only the optical transitions from occupied to unoccupied states with fixed k vector are considered.Moreover,the experimental resolution smears out many fine features,and,as demonstrated in Fig.1,there is inconsis-tency between the experimental data measured by the same method and at the same temperature.However,as noted in the Introduction,accounting for the excitons and Coulomb correlation effects in ab initio calculations 20by the LAPW +LO within LDA+U allowed correcting not only theenergyFIG. 4.Band dispersion for ZnO-z ,ZnO-w ,ZnTe-z ,and ZnTe-w calculated by the V ASP -PAW method within LDA

Xin1,2(1.School of Physical Science and Technology,Yili Normal University,Yining835000,China;2.Xinjiang Laboratory of Phase Transitions and Microstructures of Condensed Matter Physics,Yili Normal University,Yining835000,China) Abstract:The mechanical property,electronic structure,and optical properties of tetragonal perovskite PbTiO3and Ni,Cu, Zn-doped PbTiO3were studied by first principles.The mechanical property calculations show that Ni-doped PbTiO3exhibits the highest values for volume modulus,shear modulus,and elastic modulus among the three doping systems.Notably,the Ni-doped system also has the highest Debye temperature.The G/B ratio represents the material s brittleness and toughness, which is highest for Zn-doped PbTiO3,indicating the highest degree of chemical bond orientation.The G/B range for Ni and Zn-doped systems is0.56<G/B<1.75,indicating brittle materials,while the intrinsic PbTiO3and Cu-doped systems have G/B values less than0.56,indicating ductile materials.The electronic structure reveals that the doped systems have narrower band gaps and reduced transition energies compared to the intrinsic system.The introduction of Ni introduces impurity levels at the Fermi energy level in PbTiO3,while Cu and Zn doping shifts the valence band maximum upwards,causing the Fermi level to enter the valence band and resulting in p-type conductivity for Cu and Zn-doped PbTiO3.The doping of Ni,Cu and Zn expands the absorption range of PbTiO3to the infrared region and enhances the absorption intensity in the visible light range.Among the intrinsic PbTiO3and three single-doped PbTiO3materials,Cu-doped PbTiO3exhibits the best photocatalytic properties.Key words:first principle;PbTiO3;doping;mechanical property;electronic structure;optical

Engineering,Ming Chi University of Technology,New Taipei 24301,Taiwana r t i c l e i n f o Article history:Received 11August 2014Received in revised form 27October 2014Accepted 27October 2014Available online 15November 2014Keywords:First principles B-doped ZnO Intrinsic defectElectronic structure Optical propertya b s t r a c tThis study adopted first-principles calculations to evaluate the effects of intrinsic defects on the elec-tronic structure and optical properties of Boron-doped ZnO (BZO).Four types of defect were considered:non-defective (B Zn ),Zn vacancies (V Zn ),O vacancies (V O ),and interstitial Zn (Zn i ).Calculations of forma-tion energy illustrate that O-rich conditions tend to induce V Zn ,while O-poor conditions tend to induce V O and Zn i .With respect to electric properties,V Zn defects in BZO decrease carrier concentration as well as mobility,which consequently decreases the conductivity of BZO.The existence of V O or Zn i defects in BZO leads to n-type conductive characteristics and increases the optical band gap.The existence of Zn i defects in BZO also increases the effective mass,which decreases the mobility and conductivity of BZO.As for the optical properties,the introduction of V Zn to BZO leads to an increase in transmittance in the visible light region,but a decrease in the UV region.The introduction of intrinsic V O and Zn i defects to BZO leads to a significant decrease in transmittance in the visible as well as UV regions.The calculated results were also compared with experimental data from the literature.Ó2014Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.1.IntroductionZnO is an abundant,non-toxic material with a wide band gap (3.37eV)and transparent properties under visible light.ZnO has recently attracted considerable attention as an alternative for Tin-doped In 2O 3(ITO),which is currently the most common choice of transparent conductive oxide for a variety of applications [1,2].The resistivity of pure ZnO is on the order of 10À2X -cm,which is far higher than that of ITO (10À4X -cm order).A great deal of research has gone into enhancing the conductivity of ZnO through the addition of various dopants,which can mainly be divided into metals [3–5]and non-metals [6,7].B-doped ZnO (BZO)thin film shows considerable promise for its superior photoelectric proper-ties and stability [8,9].Many groups have investigated the effects of process parameters on the electric and optical properties of BZO thin film,with the aim of optimizing performance [7–13].Miyata et al.[7]indicated that the transmittance of BZO thin film could be improved through the introduction of O 2gas from 0sccm to 10sccm.David et al.[10]reported that annealing temperature and atmosphere strongly affect the conductivity of BZO.Yang et al.[11]concluded that the low oxygen partial pressure during deposition increases the carrier density of oxygen vacancies,which leads to a strong decline in resistivity.However,resistivity in sam-ples produced under the high oxygen partial pressure is far higher than in samples deposited under low oxygen partial pressure,which suggests the existence of p-type carriers of Zinc vacancies in films grown under high oxygen partial pressure.Patil et al.[12]synthesized B-doped ZnO powders using a mechanochemical method.The photoluminescence (PL)spectra at room temperature is an indication that a greater number of oxygen vacancies exist in nonmetal-doped ZnO,compared to pure ZnO.In the fabrication of BZO microrods,Yılmaz et al.[13]investigated the influence of B diffusion doping on optical emission and defect formation.PL spec-tra results revealed that the intensity of the deep level visible band emission increases with an increase in annealing time,which implies a significant increase in the concentration of intrinsic defects.As outlined above,various process conditions influence the type and number of intrinsic defects with a subsequent influence on the electric and optical properties of BZO.Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the electric and optical characteristics of BZO would require in-depth study into the effects of intrinsic defects on the properties of BZO.First-principles calculations can provide information concerning materials at the microscopic scale to eluci-date the connection between structure and properties.It is well known that the use of conventional density functional theory/10.1016/j.optmat.2014.10.0580925-3467/Ó2014Elsevier B.V.All rights reserved.⇑Corresponding author at:Department of Materials Engineering,Ming Chi University of Technology,84Gungjuan Road,Taishan,New Taipei 24301,Taiwan.Tel.:+8862290898994675;fax:+886229084091.E-mail address:hcwu@.tw (H.-C.Wu).(DFT)leads to a considerable underestimation of the calculated band gap in ZnO [14–16].In our previous study [17],we used the DFT plus Hubbard U (DFT +U)method to avoid underestimat-ing the band gap.This approach reduced the differences in calcu-lated band gap and lattice constant to within 1%of the experimental values.The current study extended the utilization of the DFT +U method to calculate and analyze the effects of intrin-sic defects (V Zn ,V O ,and Zn i )on the formation energy,crystal struc-ture,electronic structure,and optical properties of BZO.These results clarify the connections among the fabrication process,structure,and properties of BZO,for use in determining the criteria for future material designs.2.Calculation methodsThis study considered a 2Â2Â2supercell of a Wurtzite ZnO,including 16Zn atoms and 16O atoms,as shown in Fig.1.A B-monodoping model was constructed by substituting one Zn atom (number 1site)with one B atom (B Zn model),which correspond to the B concentrations of 6.25at.%.We also considered three intrinsic defects in the B Zn structure,in which Zn vacancies(B Zn V Zn ),O vacancies (B Zn V O ),and interstitial Zn (B Zn Zn i )are repre-sented as 2,3,and 4,respectively.The V Zn ,V O ,and Zn i concentra-tions corresponds to doping levels of 6.25, 6.25,and 5.88at.%,respectively.The defect concentration could be reduced using a larger supercell for the real systems;however,this study was lim-ited with regard to computer resources.Therefore,the properties of the defects calculated from a 2Â2Â2ZnO supercell such as this could be used as qualitative analysis.1432ZnO BTable 1Formation

models.Y.-C.Peng et al./Optical Materials 39(2015)34–3935All models presented in this study were developed using CASTEP software [18].Structural optimization was performed on each model before calculating properties.The Monkhorst–Pack scheme [19]K-points grid sampling in the supercells was set at 4Â4Â2.Electron–ion interactions were modeled using the ultrasoft pseudo-potential method [20].The valence configurations of the atoms were 4s 23d 10for Zn,2s 22p 4for O,and 2s 22p 1for B.The elec-tron wave functions were expanded in plane wave with an energy cutoff of 380eV.In the structural optimization process,the change in energy,maximum force,maximum stress,and maximum displacement tolerances were set at 10À5eV/atom,0.03eV/Å,0.05GPa,and 0.001Å,respectively.The energy convergence crite-rion for the self-consistent field was set at 10À6eV.To describe the electronic structures more accurately,we adopted the DFT +U d +U p method [21],in which the U d value for Zn-3d and the U p value for O-2p orbitals were set at 10and 7eV,respectively.The band structures,band gaps,and Zn-3d orbital locations of pure ZnO,which were used for the selection of U d and U p values,can be referenced in our previous research [17,22].3.Results and discussion 3.1.Optimized structureThe average bond lengths and volume difference ratio,as obtained from geometric optimization,are summarized in Table 1.In pure ZnO,each Zn atom is bonded to its three horizontal and one vertical oxygen neighbors.The average bond length of Zn-O is 1.981Åand optimized lattice constants are a =b =3.249Åandc =5.232Å,which are in agreement with the experimental values of a =b =3.249,c =5.206Å[23].Following the substitution of one B atom for one Zn atom (B Zn model),the Zn–O bond length is longer than that of B–O (1.526Å).This is because the B 3+radius (0.27Å)is smaller than that of Zn 2+(0.74Å)[24].Therefore,the cell volume of B Zn model shrinks,which is consistent with the experi-mental results [25].Clearly,the presence of Zn or O vacancies in BZO also leads to a shrinkage in volume.Conversely,the presence of interstitial Zn leads to a longer Zn–O length and expansion in volume.3.2.Formation energyTo examine the relative stability of BZO with intrinsic defects in neutral charge state,the defect formation energy can be expressed as follows:[26,27]E f ðD Þ¼E tot ðD ÞÀE tot ðZnO ÞþXn i l ið1Þwhere E tot (ZnO)and E tot (D )are the total energy in pure ZnO and in the defective systems,respectively.n i is the number of i atoms removed from or added to the supercell.If an atom is removed from the supercell,n i is positive,otherwise is negative.l i is the chemical potential of atom i .Formation energy depends on the growth envi-ronment during the preparation process,which can be O-rich or O-poor (Zn-rich).In thermo-dynamic equilibrium,D l Zn +D l O =D H f (ZnO),where D H f (ZnO)represents the formation enthalpy of ZnO.For the chemical potential of B,this study adopted the relation of 2D l B +3D l O 6D H f (B 2O 3)under O-rich conditions and l B =l B(bulk)under O-poor conditions,where D H f (B 2O 3)represents the(a)(b)(c)(d)V ZnV OZn iBZnOO density difference for (a)B Zn ,(b)B Zn V Zn ,(c)B Zn V O ,and (d)B Zn Zn i models.The red,orange,yellow,green,and interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend,the reader is referred to the web version 36Y.-C.Peng et al./Optical Materials 39(2015)34–39formation enthalpy of B2O3.D l i represents the chemical potential of atom i referred to as the elemental solid/gas of l i(bulk/molecule).It is well known that a defective structure with lower formation energy forms more readily and denotes an increased occurrence of defects.Table1presents a summary of the calculated formation energy of BZO with various intrinsic defects,based on the neutral charge state.With the existence of B Zn,E f(B Zn V Zn)<E f(B Zn V O)<E f (B Zn Zn i)under O-rich conditions,implying that O-rich conditions are more likely to induce the formation of V Zn,followed by V O and Zn i.Under O-poor conditions,E f(B Zn V O)<E f(B Zn Zn i)<E f (B Zn V Zn),which implies that O-poor conditions are more likely to induce the formation of V O.As a result,process conditions,such as O2gasflow rate and substrate temperature,largely determine the type of intrinsic defects that form in BZO during preparation. The occurrence of V O is far more likely under a low-O atmosphere, and V Zn is more likely to occur under a high-O atmosphere.For the sake of comparison,we also calculated the formation energy of a single intrinsic defect(V Zn and V O)in pure ZnO.The calculated values of E f(V Zn)and E f(V O)are3.09and4.33eV under O-rich conditions and6.58and0.84eV under O-poor conditions. Thus,we can see that the formation energy of a Zn vacancy from pure ZnO(E f(V Zn))is greater than that obtained from BZO(E f(B Zn V Zn)ÀE f(B Zn)=1.93eV under O-rich conditions and5.42eV under O-poor conditions).This demonstrates that Zn vacancies form more easily in BZO than in ZnO.These results are similar to those calculated for O vacancies,which implies that B-doping facilitates the formation of V Zn and V O.Previous studies [12]obtained similar results,indicating that a greater number of oxygen vacancies or defects exist in BZO than in pure ZnO.3.3.Electronic structureTo clarify the influence of intrinsic defects on the electronic structure of BZO,we calculated the band structure,difference in charge density,and density of states(DOS),as shown in Figs.2–4,respectively.In our previous study[17,22],the calculated band structure revealed a band gap of3.37eV in pure ZnO,which is in excellent agreement with values obtained in experiments.In the present study,we focus on the properties of BZO with intrinsic defects.Fig.2presents the band structures for BZO with various intrin-sic defect models.The Fermi level indicated by the dotted line was set to zero.Fig.2(a)shows the situation in which a Zn atom in pure ZnO is replaced by a B atom,in which the Fermi level shifts from the valence band(VB)maximum to the bottom of the conduction band(CB),resulting in a shallow donor level at the bottom of the CB.The shallow donor level at B doping causes an increase in the optical band gap to4.5eV at B concentration of6.25at.%,which is well known as the Burstein-Moss effect[28].The definitionof Fig.4.Density of states for(a)B Zn,(b)B Zn V Zn,(c)B Zn V O,and(d)B Zn Zn i models.optical band gap is from the top offor n-type semiconducting materials and the bottom of conduction band for materials.Similar tendencies were experiment-based studies[29,30].Asin the vicinity of B impurities appears atoms.The calculated Mulliken bond and B–O bonds are0.371and0.658, that a B–O bond is more covalent than Mulliken bond population represents characteristics).As shown in Fig.4(a),to the bottom of CB are the Zn-4s anda few O-2s and O-2p orbitals.The main extra electron tofill up the CBM.According to the results calculated regarded as an intrinsic defect under the B Zn V Zn model(Fig.2(b)),when donor levels coexist,the empty states produced trons from the B Zn donor level,resulting level as well as the formation of p-type band gap of B Zn V Zn can be narrowed to eration of conduction electrons requires energy from the Fermi level to the CB, be required in the B Zn model.Thus,in may lead to a decrease in the carrier known that mobility is related to the time.The relaxation time could not be software and was assumed as a defects in BZO.The followingeffects of the effective mass on thenear the Fermi level appear nearlyof carriers with a smaller curvature The larger effective mass is related toTherefore,V Zn defects in BZO reduce both carrier concentration as well as mobility,which consequently increases the resistivity of BZO.Fig.3(b)shows that the O atoms surrounding a Zn vacancy gain fewer electrons(green color),implying the occurrence of a number of empty states of O atoms.These empty states are O-2p orbitals near the Fermi level,as shown in Fig.4(b).V O and Zn i can be regarded as intrinsic defects in an O-poor environment.Fig.2(c)and(d)show the band structures in B Zn V O and B Zn Zn i models,in which n-type conductive characteristics appear and the optical band gap increases to4.68eV and4.41eV, respectively.One shallow donor state and one deep donor state occur in these two models.In the B Zn V O model,the deep donor level is probably the charge remaining in the oxygen vacancy (Fig.3(c));in the B Zn Zn i model,it is probably the covalence charge in the vicinity of the interstitial Zn atom(Zn i)(Fig.3(d)).Fig.4(c) and(d)show that the shallow donor level in both models origi-nated from B doping,whereas the deep donor level in the B Zn V O and B Zn Zn i models originated from the addition of V O and Zn i, respectively.The deep donor level in the B Zn V O model comprises mainly Zn and O atoms;however,in the B Zn Zn i model,it also includes B atom(B-2s and B-2p states).The shallow donor states provide conduction electrons;however,the deep donor states may contribute less to the increase in carrier concentration.Qual-itatively,the curvature of the energy band near the Fermi level in the B Zn Zn i model is smaller than that in the B Zn V O model.There-fore,Zn i defects present in BZO increase the effective mass,which may consequently decrease the mobility and conductivity of BZO.3.4.Optical propertiesThe optical properties can be described via the dielectric func-tion e(x)=e1(x)+i e2(x)[31].The imaginary part of the dielectric function e2(x)is calculated as follows:e2¼2e2pX e0Xk;v;cu ckuÁrj j u v k2d E ckÀE vkÀxÀÁð2Þwhere e is the electronic charge;X is the unit cell volume;u is the vector defining the polarization of the incident electricfield;x is the frequency of light;and u c k and u v k are the wave functions of the conduction and valence bands,respectively.Fig.5(a)shows the e2(x)of BZO with various intrinsic defects. In the B Zn model,a blue-shift in the intrinsic absorption edge occurred due to an enlarged optical band gap as compared with ZnO.The shallow donor levels mentioned in Section3.3resulted in an absorption peak at1.2eV.The absorption peaks in the intrin-sic defect models were as follows:B Zn V Zn(0.3eV),B Zn V O(1.5eV), and B Zn Zn i(0.9eV).These peaks resulted in enhanced absorption in the visible range.The peak of B Zn V Zn is the lowest,which can probably be attributed to the transition between occupied states and unoccupied states near the Fermi level.In the B Zn V O,and B Zn Zn i models,the absorption in the visible range may be the result of a shift from the shallow and deep donor occupied states to the unoccupied states of the conduction band.Fig.5(b)presents the transmittance of BZO under various defec-tive models.Table2presents the calculated values for average transmittance associated with each model under UV and visible light.It is should be noted that the calculated results were based on the doping levels of B(6.25at.%),V Zn(6.25at.%)V O(6.25at.%), and Zn i(5.88at.%).The average transmittance of pure ZnO is89.2 %in the visible region and65.6%in the UV region.Fig.5(b)shows that the incorporation of B into ZnO decreased transmittance in the range of800–1200nm(infrared region)and400–800nm(visible light region),but increased transmittance in the range of200–400nm(UV region),compared with pure ZnO.When V Zn was introduced to BZO,transmittance in the visible light region was Optical properties of BZO with varying intrinsic defects.(a)Imaginary dielectric function,(b)Transmittance.38increased,but transmittance in the UV region decreased,compared with BZO.When V O or Zn i was introduced to BZO,the transmit-tance of visible as well as UV light declined significantly,which implies that transmittance could be reduced by employing a low-O environment for fabrication.This may explain why trans-mittance is enhanced by an increase in oxygen pressure during processing[7].4.ConclusionsThis study used the DFT+U method to investigate the influence of intrinsic defects on the formation energy,crystal structure,elec-tronic structure,and optical properties of BZO.Our results revealed that the formation energy of V Zn is lowest under O-rich conditions and the formation energy of V O is lowest under O-poor conditions. V Zn defects in BZO may decrease carrier concentration as well as mobility,which increases transmittance in the visible light region but decreases transmittance in the UV region.V O or Zn i defects in BZO lead to the appearance of n-type conductive characteristics, increasing the optical band gap,and decreasing transmittance in the visible light and UV regions.In addition,Zn i defects increase the effective mass,which may consequently decrease the mobility and conductivity of BZO.Conflict of interestsThe authors declare that there is no conflict of interests regard-ing the publication of this article.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by the National Science Council in Taiwan(NSC102-2221-E-131-008),for which the authors are grateful.We also acknowledge the National Center for High-performance Computing for computer time and the use of its facilities.Reference[1]T.Minami,Semicond.Sci.Technol.20(2005)S35–S44.[2]L.Zhao,G.Shao,S.Song,X.Qin,S.Han,Rare Metals30(2011)175–182.[3]V.Bhavanasi,C.B.Singh,D.Datta,V.Singh,K.Shahi,S.Kumar,Opt.Mater.35(2013)1352–1359.[4]C.Huang,M.Wang,Z.Deng,Y.Cao,Q.Liu,Z.Huang,Y.Liu,W.Guo,Q.Huang,J.Mater.Sci.–Mater.Electron21(2010)1221–1227.[5]J.L.Zhao,X.W.Sun,H.Ryu,Y.B.Moon,Opt.Mater.33(2011)768–772.[6]L.Cao,L.P.Zhu,W.F.Chen,Z.Z.Ye,Opt.Mater.35(2013)1293–1296.[7]T.Miyata,Y.Honma,T.Minami,J.Vac.Sci.Technol.A25(2007)1193–1197.[8]X.L.Chen,B.H.Xu,J.M.Xue,Y.Zhao,C.C.Wei,J.Sun,Y.Wang,X.D.Zhang,X.H.Geng,Thin Solid Films515(2007)3753–3759.[9]D.W.Kang,J.Y.Kwon,D.J.Lee,M.K.Han,J.Electrochem.Soc.159(2012)H61–H65.[10]C.David,T.Girardeau, F.Paumier, D.Eyidi, croix,N.Papathanasiou,B.P.Tinkham,P.Gu´erin,M.Marteau,J.Phys.:Condens.Matter23(2011)334209.[11]H.Yang,X.Xu,X.Zhou,Y.Ma,J.Dong,T.Wang,J.Miao,Y.Jiang,J.Mater.Sci.47(2012)6513–6516.[12]A.B.Patil,K.R.Patil,S.K.Pardeshi,J.Solid State Chem.184(2011)3273–3279.[13]S.Yılmaz,J.Nisar,Y.Atasoy,E.McGlynn,R.Ahuja,M.Parlak,E.Bacaksız,Ceram.Int.39(2013)4609–4617.[14]L.Li,W.Wang,H.Liu,X.Liu,Q.Song,S.Ren,J.Phys.Chem.C113(2009)8460–8464.[15]X.Qu,W.Wang,S.Lv,D.Jia,Solid State Commun.151(2011)332–336.[16]G.Ji,Z.Gu,M.Lu,J.Zhou,S.Zhang,Y.Chen,Physica B405(2010)4948–4950.[17]H.C.Wu,Y.C.Peng,C.C.Chen,Opt.Mater.35(2013)509–515.[18]M.D.Segall,P.J.D.Lindan,M.J.Probert,C.J.Pickard,P.J.Hasnip,S.J.Clark,M.C.Payne,J.Phys.:Condens.Matter.14(2002)2717–2744.[19]H.J.Monkhorst,J.D.Pack,Phys.Rev.B13(1976)5188–5192.[20]D.Vanderbilt,Phys.Rev.B41(1990)7892–7895.[21]X.Ma,B.Lu,D.Li,R.Shi,C.Pan,Y.Zhu,J.Phys.Chem.C115(2011)4680–4687.[22]H.C.Wu,Y.C.Peng,T.P.Shen,Materials5(2012)2088–2100.[23]R.D.Vispute,V.Talyansky,S.Choopun,R.P.Sharma,T.Venkatesan,Appl.Phys.Lett.73(1998)348–350.[24]D.R.Lide,CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics,87th ed.,Taylor andFrancis,Philadelphia,2006.[25]X.G.Xu,H.L.Yang,Y.Wu,D.L.Zhang,S.Z.Wu,Appl.Phys.Lett.97(2010)232502.[26]A.Janotti, C.G.Van de Walle,Phys.Rev.B:Condens.Matter.76(2007)165202.[27]T.Guo,G.Dong,Q.Chen,X.Diao,F.Gao,J.Phys.Chem.Solids75(2014)42–47.[28]P.V.Kamat,N.M.Dimitrijevic, A.J.Nozik,J.Phys.Chem.93(1989)2873–2875.[29]L.Gao,Y.Zhang,J.M.Zhang,K.W.Xu,Appl.Surf.Sci.257(2011)2498–2502.[30]B.N.Pawar,S.R.Jadkar,M.G.Takwale,J.Phys.Chem.Solids66(2005)1779–1782.[31]R.Chowdhury,S.Adhikari,P.Rees,Physica B405(2010)4763–4767.Table2Average transmittance of BZO with varying intrinsic defects.UV region(%)Visible region(%)ZnO65.689.2B Zn91.175.6B Zn V Zn68.186.8B Zn V O52.053.2B Zn Zn i59.256.9Y.-C.Peng et al./Optical Materials39(2015)34–3939。

压力对 CrSi2弹性及弹性各向异性影响的研究摘要:本文采用密度泛函理论计算了压力下CrSi2的声子谱、电子结构、弹性常数和弹性各向异性。

结果表明,CrSi2的晶体结构参数随着压力的增加而减小。

声子色散曲线在不同外加压力下没有出现虚频,说明它们都是动力稳定的。

弹性常数也符合Born准则,表明机械学稳定性。

CrSi2的弹性常数、体积模量、剪切模量、杨氏模量、泊松比和B/G都随压力的增加而增加,表明适当的外界压力可以加强CrSi2的延展性,从而让其在工业应用上有望成为具有良好前景的可塑性金属合金的备选材料。

热容量随着压力的增大而轻微的减小。

关键词:密度泛函理论;弹性性能;各向异性1.引言随着科技的发展,现代工业对材料的强度与延展性的要求逐步提升,过渡金属铬化物因其熔化温度高、化学稳定性良好、热导率高、优益的耐高温抗氧化的性能以及相对较低的密度,令其有望作用于高温结构[1-3],这也是近几年的研究热点之一。

CrSi2可采用自蔓延高温合成法[4]和水冷铜模激光炉制备[5]。

CrSi2在室温下具有较低的断裂韧性,在高温(>1200℃)下强度和蠕变抗力有限,但是压力对于弹性各向异性的影响力尚不清楚[6]。

弹性性能与材料的热容量、热膨胀系数等基本性能有着密切的联系。

这些特征可以通过第一性原理[7]方法得到。

在以往的文献中,许多研究者在运用实验测量和密度泛函理论计算相互使用的方法来研究CrSi2的晶体结构、力学性能、电子结构、光学性质[6,7,8,9]。

为更好地理解压力下CrSi2 的弹性各向异性从而在高压环境中应用是极为重要的。

本文系统地研究了CrSi2在高压下的结构、声子谱、弹性性能及弹性各向异性,以期探索外界压力对CrSi2弹性性能及弹性各向异性的影响,从而开发设计出具有抗压力的高温合金材料。

3.2光学性质 图5(a)、(b)分别给出了沿BFO和BFCO的(001)方向入射线偏振光时的介电函数随能量变化曲线。
在用CASTEP计算时,处理计算与实验误差通常的方法是使用剪刀算符。图5(a)为BFO的介电函数,剪刀 因子取0.7eV(仍然是BFO的带隙计算值1.8 eV与实验值2.5 eV间差值)。图5(b)为BFCO的介电函数, 关于BFCO带隙及光学性质试验方面没有给出实验值,在此取与BFO相同的剪刀因子。从图5可以看出, 当频率为零或很低时,介电函数随能量缓慢变化,这时介电函数的虚部为0,其中BFO的电介电常数占(0)= 6,BFCO的介电常数8(0)=6.5,比文献[4]给出的BaTiO,(5.12),SrTiO,(4.98)和PbTiO。(5.34)具有更大 的介电常数。随着频率增加,介电函数取复数形式(虚部不为0)占(∞)=占,(∞)和:(叫)。虚部s:(山)代表介 质损耗,它是由于分子的电极化过程跟不上外场变化而引起的。从图5(a),(b)可以看出BFO和BFCO的 虚部都有7个明显的特征峰,对于BFO来说,能量大于能隙2.5 eV后占:(09)≠o,其中对应A(5 eV)主要来 自02p到Fe3d的电子跃迁,B(7.2 eV),C(9.1 eV),D(13.4 eV),E(15.5 eV)主要来自02p到Bi6p的电子 跃迁,F(26.7 eV),G(28.7 eV)主要来自内电子02s到Bi6s的电子跃迁H。。而BFCO介电常数的虚部与 BFO有明显的不同,当能量大于能隙1.7 eV时,8:(∞)≠0,从分态密度图也可以看出由于cr的掺人,使 Fe3d电子态密度分布向低能方向移动,拐点峰A(2.9 eV)归结为来自02p到Fe3d、Cr3d的电子跃迁,特征 峰B(5.1 eV)、C(6.4 eV)、D(7.8 eV)主要来自02p到Bi6p和Cr3d的电子跃迁,E(15.1 eV)主要来自02p 到Cr3d的电子跃迁,F(26.7 eV)、G(28.3 eV)主要来自02s内电子到Bi6s和Cr 3d的电子跃迁。上述分析 表明cr的掺入对BFO的介电函数有较大的影响。

All Rights Reserved.晶格基矢与实验值[10]和其他理论计算值[17]相符,这证明我们的计算方法是正确合理的.N 掺杂后的K 2T i 6O 13的晶格基矢和体积都有增加,这主要因为N 原子的半径比O 原子的半径大且T i -N 键的键长较T iO 键的键长长.表1 几何优化后N 掺杂前后K 2T i 6O 13的超晶胞参数和键长P a r a m e t e r sA v e r a g e b o n d l e n gt h /Åa /Åb /Åc /ÅV /Å3T i O T i N K 2T i 6O 13[17]15.8507.6169.2431098.6372.004N -d o pe d 15.8207.6349.2521100.1572.1042.2 电子结构在图2中可以看到N 掺杂前后K 2T i 6O 13的能带结构.据图2(a )知,K 2T i 6O 13的带隙为2.834e V ,这和已有的计算结果相符[17].与实验值3.48e V [10]相比,计算值偏小,但计算结果的相对值是有意义的,可以将其视为一种有效的近似方法从而对材料的电子结构进行分析.从图2(b)可以看出,经N 掺杂后K 2T i 6O 13带隙变为2.815e V.与本征的K 2T i 6O 13相比,它的带隙值降低了0.019e V ,这有利于其光吸收边的红移.且其价带顶附近出现了杂质能级,杂质能级与导带底的能量差为2.410e V ,因此,N 的掺杂将实现K 2T i 6O 13对可见光的吸收.此外,此杂质能级为受主能级可抑制载流子的复合,进而提高其光催化性能.图2 (a )K 2T i 6O 13和(b )N 掺杂K 2T i 6O 13的能带结构图3为N 掺杂前后K 2T i 6O 13的态密度图.由图3(a )可知,纯K 2T i 6O 13的价带和导带基本上是由O2p 和T i 3d 态组成,由此可以看出O 和T i 之间可能存在强烈的相互作用.K 离子在T i O 6八面体组成的隧道状结构处以游离态存在,T i 和O 间的强相互作用使得K 2T i 6O 13结构具有很强的稳定性[15,18,19].由图3(b )和图3(c )可知,N 掺杂后在K 2T i 6O 13价带顶附近出现的杂质能级主要由O2p ,T i 3d 和N2p 轨道杂化而成.图3 (a )K 2T i 6O 13的分态密度;(b )N 掺杂K 2T i 6O 13的分态密度;(c )部分放大的N 掺杂K 2T i 6O 13的分态密度88 曲阜师范大学学报(自然科学版) 2023年Copyright ©博看网. All Rights Reserved.2.3 光学性质由于K 2T i 6O 13带隙的计算值比实验值偏小,为了使计算结果与实验结果相近,本文使用 剪刀算符 对光学性质的计算结果进行了修正,修正值取K 2T i 6O 13带隙的实验值与计算值的差值0.616e V.图4为N 掺杂前后K 2T i 6O 13介电函数虚部随光子能量变化曲线图.由图4可知在高能处,N 掺杂前后K 2T i 6O 13都有一个较大的峰值,这源于价带中的电子到导带的跃迁.在低能方向K 2T i 6O 13的介电函数虚部值基本为零,而N 掺杂后K 2T i 6O 13在低能范围出现了几个峰值,这源于其杂质能级中电子的跃迁.图4 K 2T i 6O 13和N 掺杂K 2T i 6O 13的介电函数虚部随光子能量变化曲线图由图5可知,K 2T i 6O 13对光的吸收范围约在0~400n m ,这个结果与已有的实验研究结果相近[20,21],再次证明我们的计算是合理的.N 掺杂后K 2T i 6O 13吸收边略有红移,这是由于其带隙值略微减小.N 掺杂后K 2T i 6O 13在350~400n m 的吸收强度明显增加,且实现了其对可见光的吸收,这是因为带隙中的杂质能级既可降低电子跃迁所需能量,又可提高光生载流子的效率.图5 K 2T i 6O 13和N 掺杂K 2T i 6O 13的吸收光谱3 结 论通过第一性原理计算了K 2T i 6O 13在N 掺杂前后的能带结构㊁态密度㊁介电函数虚部和吸收光谱.计算结果表明,K 2T i 6O 13在N 掺杂后带隙变小,并且在能带中出现了杂质能级从而实现了N 掺杂后的K 2T i 6O 13对可见光的吸收.能带中的杂质能级可以抑制光生载流子的复合,使得光催化反应的效率提高.我们的计算结果为实验上研究K 2T i 6O 13光催化性能改性提供了重要的理论依据.参考文献:[1]H EY R ,Y A N FF ,Y U H Q ,e t a l .H y d r o ge n p r o d u c -t i o n i na l i g h t -d r i v e n p h o t o e l e c t r o c h e m i c a l c e l l [J ].A p pl E n e r g,2014,113:164.[2]O S T E R L OH F E .I n o r g a n i c m a t e r i a l sa sc a t a l ys t s f o r p h o t o c h e m i c a ls p l i t t i n g of w a t e r [J ].C h e m M a t e r ,2008,20:35.[3]R A NJ ,Z HA N GJ ,Y UJ ,e t a l .E a r t h -a b u n d a n t c o c a t a -l y s t s f o r s e m i c o n d u c t o r -b a s e d p h o t o c a t a l y t i cw a t e r s pl i t -t i n g [J ].C h e mS o cR e v ,2014,43:7787.[4]HA K U T A Y ,HA Y A S H IH ,A R A IKJ .H yd r o t he r m a l s y n t h e s i s of p h o t o c a t a l y s t p o t a s s i u m h e x a t i t a n a t e n a n o w i r e su n d e r s u pe r c r i t i c a l c o n d i t i o n s [J ].M a t e rS c i ,2004,39:4977.[5]K A P U S U ZD ,K A L A Y Y E ,P A R KJ ,e ta l .S yn t h e s i s a n d c h a r a c t e r i z a t i o no f h y d r o t h e r m a l l ygr o w n p o t a s s i u m t i t a n a t en a n o w i r e s [J ].JC e r a m P r o c e s sR e s ,2015,16:291.[6]L IY ,Y U H ,Y A N G Y ,e ta l .S yn t h e s i so f p o t a s s i u m h e x a t i t a n a t ew h i s k e r sw i t hh i g ht h e r m a l s t a b i l i t y f r o m T i -b e a r i n g e l e c t r i ca r cf u r n a c e m o l t e ns l a g [J ].C e r a m I n t ,2016,42:11294.[7]L IGL ,WA N G G H ,HO N GJ M.S yn t h e s i sa n dc h a r -a c t e r i z a t i o no fK 2T i 6O 13w h i s k e r sw i t h d i a m e t e r o n n a n -o m e t e r s c a l e [J ].JM a t e r S c i ,1999,18(22):1865-1867.[8]R AM íR Z -S A L G A D OJ ,D J U R A D OE ,F A B R YPJ .E u rS y n t h e s i s o f s o d i u m t i t a n a t e c o m p o s i t e s b y s o l -ge l m e t h o df o r u s e i ng a s p o t e n t i o m e t r i c s e n s o r s [J ].C e r a m S o c ,2004,24:2477.[9]P E S C A T O R IM ,Q U O N D AM C A R L O C .S yn t h e s i s a n d c h a r a c t e r i z a t i o no fK 2T i 6O 13na n o w i r e s [J ].C h e m P h y s L e t t ,2003,376:726.[10]MOH D A S ,V I S HA LSC ,AM E E R A.C o m pa r a t i v e s t u d y o f p o t a s s i u m h e x a t i t a n a t e (K 2T i 6O 13)w h i s k e r s p r e p a r e db y s o l -ge l a n ds o l i ds t a t e r e a c t i o nr o u t e s [J ].98第4期 刘保通,等:N 掺杂K 2T i 6O 13电子结构和光学性质的第一性原理计算Copyright ©博看网.

言氮化硅(Si3N4)是目前应用较为广泛的陶瓷材料之一,它是一种几乎不发生高温变形的陶瓷材料,并且具有优异的高温机械性能,常常被用于制造涡轮机械器件[1] Si3N4的硬度高,摩擦系数小,具有自润滑性能[2],且具有良好的抗疲劳性能和耐摩擦磨损性能 近年来,随着光电子技术第40卷原 子 与 分 子 物 理 学 报 第2期的发展,氮化硅薄膜由于具有高的化学稳定性、热稳定性和良好的介电特性,被视为有广泛用途的电子材料之一 此外,氮化硅还具有比较高的热导率[3],可以用于大功率电子产品的散热材料.在MOS电路中,Si3N4还可以作为栅极材料提高击穿电压 氮化硅常见的晶体结构有3种,分别是α、β和γ相,其中α和β相分别属于三角和六角晶系,且可以在常压下制备 α-Si3N4的空间群为P31c,β-Si3N4的空间群为P63/m Xu等人[4]使用原子轨道正交线性组合方法(OLCAO),研究了Si3N4,α-SiO2和Si2N2O的电子结构 潘洪哲等人[5]利用第一性原理计算了β-Si3N4的能带结构和光学性质,发现β-Si3N4的吸收系数在100nm处存在峰值 雷金桥[6]通过实验的方式研究了α-Si3N4在高温高压(0~30GPa)下的热力学性质 然而,对α-Si3N4和β-Si3N4二者的基本性质进行对比分析的理论研究较少 因此,本文使用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,对α-Si3N4和β-Si3N4的Mullike布居数、能带结构、态密度、介电函数和声子谱等进行了计算,并据此分析了它们的成键情况、电子结构、光学性质、热力学性质2

计算得到β-Si3N4的晶胞参数为a=b=7 6537?,c=2 9183?,V=148 0506?3,与实验值a=b=7 608?,c=2 9?,V=145 743?3[12]相吻合3 2 布居分析为了研究两种结构的化学键,本文计算了α-Si3N4和β-Si3N4的Mulliken布居数[13] 从表1中可知,α-Si3N4中有4种不同的N原子和2种不同的Si原子,单个N原子平均可以得到1 38~1 39个价电子,单个Si原子平均会失去1 83~1 86个价电子 在表2中可以看到,N-Si键的布居值在0 63e~0 69e之间,这表明N-Si键为共价键 由表3可知,β-Si3N4中有2种N原子,1种Si原子,β-Si3N4的单个N原子平均可以得到1 39个价电子,单个Si原子平均会失去1 85个价电子 在表4中,N-Si键的布居值为0 58e,0 61e,1 39e的键长分别为1 74705?,1 73823?和1 74547?,表明电子处于成键轨道,且体现为强的共价作用3 3 电子结构图2是α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4的能带结构图[14].第40卷蒋文龙,等:α和β-Si3N4的电子、光学及热力学性质的第一性原理计算第2期表1 α-Si3N4的原子布居Table1

由于α-Si3N4晶胞中的原子数为β-Si3N4的两倍,故α-Si3N4能带明显多于β-Si3N4.α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4价带顶部和导带底部都较为平坦,说明二者的空穴与电子的有效质量都较大 此外,α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4的导带底和价带顶处于倒空间中的不同位置,所以α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4均具有间接带隙图2 能带结构:(a)α-Si3N4,(b)β-Si3N4Fig 2 Bandstructures:(a)α-Si3N4,(b)β-Si3N4 α-Si3N4的总态密度(TDOS)与分态密度(PDOS)如图3a所示,大致可以分为-18 2~-13 2eV,-9 6eV~0eV,4 4eV~19 1eV三个区域 在-18 2~-13 2eV的态密度主要由N-2s,Si-3s电子贡献,而-9 6eV~0eV区域的态密度主要由Si-3p和N-2p电子贡献 在费米面附近的态密度主要由两种原子的p电子贡献,而s电子的贡献较小 由Si和N原子的分态密度可以看出,对导带贡献最多的是Si-3p图3b中β-Si3N4总态密度也可分为三个区域,第一区域主要由N-2s轨道提供,Si原子的s和p轨道的贡献不超过1 5states/eV.β-Si3N4在费米面附近的电子主要来自于N-2p轨道,β-Si3N4的导带主要由Si的3p轨道提供,而N原第40卷原 子 与 分

光学性质复介电函数反映了介电常数与能带结构之间的关系,它是沟通带间跃迁微观物理过程与固体电子结构的桥梁,它可以反映电子的能级间跃迁和晶体的光谱信息,其在线性响应范围内可以表示为[16]:ε(ω)=ε1(ω)+iε2(ω)(1)其中,ε1和ε2分别为复介电函数的实部和虚部介电函数的实部ε1与材料对光的反射有关,其代表处于激发态的电子由高能级向低能级跃迁时释放光子或声子的过程[16];介电函数的虚部ε2反映光电子从价带到导带跃迁过程中对光的吸收能量强弱,虚部越大则说明电子吸收光子的概率越高,材料对光的吸收能力也更强[15,16] 图4表示α-Si3N4和β-Si3N4的复介电函数.从图中可以看到,在能量零点时,α-Si3N4的静态介电常数为4 30 当光子能量增大到6 2eV时,达到最大值7 78,光子能量为15 2eV时到达最低点 复介电函数的虚部是由于材料内部极化跟不上交变电场变化引起的相位差所致,代表着材料能量损耗 在4 23eV处,介电函数虚部开始出现明显的增长,这与其禁带宽度几乎一致.这是因为当入射光子的能量小于禁带宽度时,电子是禁止跃迁的;当能量高于此数值后,可发生跃迁的状态数增多,因此ε2迅速增大 在图中可看出能量在9 84eV时,虚部达到最大值6 87 β-Si3N4在能量零点的静态介电常数为4 23,当光子能量为6 08eV时达到最大值7 11 虚部的最大值则是在10 4eV时达到6 19图4

7%.可以看到,32eV以后的反射率接近于0.在可见光范围内(1 6-3eV)反射率小于13 7% β-Si3N4的反射率在0到23 1eV之间总体上呈现上升的趋势,反射率最大值为23 1eV处的59 2%,β-Si3N4对可见光的反射率低于13 5%图5 α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4的反射率Fig 5 Reflectivities:(a)α-Si3N4;(b)β-Si3N4复折射率是反映吸收性介质最主要的光学常数[16-19],其表达式为:N=n-ik(2)其中实部n为介质的折射率,主要由光在介质中传播速度所决定;虚部k是由光在介质中传播的衰减所决定,也就是吸收系数 从图6a中可以看出α-Si3N4的静态折射率为2 07,在光子能量为6 44eV时达到最大折射率2 83 吸收系数在4 36eV时开始有明显增长,在能量为10 7eV时,吸收系数最大为1 7 从图6b中可以看出,β-Si3N4的静态折射率为2 06,在能量为6 79eV时达到最大值2 72 吸收系数从能量为4 23eV处开始有明显的增长,在能量为11 4eV时达到最大值1 65图7是α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4的能量损失函数,其表示电子与样品Si3N4发生非弹性碰撞散射后的电子分布,其峰值与等离子体共振有关[20] 从图中可以看出,α-Si3N4的能量损失的峰值在24 4eV处,峰值为10 2;β-Si3N4的能量损失的峰值在24 3eV处,峰值比前者略高,为11 1 二者的能量损失主峰的展宽相近,说明二者二次电子发射率相近图6

β-Si3N4的原胞有14个原子,其中6个Si和8个N原子,理论上有42条声子谱曲线 其中,α-Si3N4的谱线中有3条声学支格波,81条光学支格波,声学支格波反映了原胞质心的振动,而光学支格波反映的是原胞中粒子的相对振动 在声子态密度图中,当频率为25 49THz时,出现了最大的峰值,说明α-Si3第40卷原 子 与 分 子 物 理 学 报 第2期图7

当温度较低时,固体的热容是由晶格热振动和电子热运共同作用,此时热容增长较快;当温度较高时,热容主要是由晶格热振动决定.同时,还可以看到α-Si3N4热容约是β-Si3N4的两倍 4 结 论本文利用密度泛函理论计算并分析了α-Si3N4与β-Si3N4晶体的成键、电子能带结构、光学和热学性质

Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of K2Ti6O13 Doped with Transition Metal Fe or Ag
Key words: First-principles, Doping, Electronic structures, Optical properties
I. INTRODUCTION
During the past decades, semiconductor-based photocatalysis has received a lot of attention [1–3], since it is a promising eco-friendly technology to solve the environmental pollution and energy shortage by utilizing solar energy. However, the photoreaction efficiency of the most reported materials is very low, and is only active in ultraviolet region [4, 5]. Moreover, the fast recombination of electrons and holes in the catalyst still remains a tricky problem [6]. Therefore, how to effectively utilize sunlight with suppressed electron-hole recombination is the most important subject for developing these materials as a photocatalyst. To improve the photoreaction efficiency, many approaches have been designed [7–12]. Among them, metal elements doping is considered as one of the most effective methods [13, 14]. Furthermore, transition metal doping gets more and more attention due to the unique d electronic configuration of transition metals, which can narrow the band gap or insert a new band into the band gap, and thus extends the absorption edge of photocatalysis to visible light region [15–19].
(Dated: Received on December 27, 2017; Accepted on May 18, 2018)
Based on the experimental study of the optical properties of K2Ti6O13 doped with Fe or Ag, their electronic structures and optical properties are studied by the first-principles method based on the density functional theory (DFT). The calculated optical properties are consistent with the experiment results. K2Ti6O13 doped with substitutional Fe or Ag has isolated impurity bands mainly stemming from the hybridization by the Fe 3d states or Ag 4d states with Ti 3d states and O 2p states and the band gap becomes narrower, the absorption edge of K2Ti6O13 thus has a clear red shift and the absorption of visible light can be realized after doping. For Fe-doped K2Ti6O13, the impurity bands are in the middle of the band gap, suggesting that they can be used as a bridge for valence band electrons transition to the conduction band. For Ag-doped K2Ti6O13, the impurity bands form a shallow acceptor above the valence band and can reduce the recombination rate of photoexcited carriers. The experimental and calculated results are significant for the development of K2Ti6O13 materials that have absorption under visible light.
