Semiconducting half-Heusler (HH, XYZ) phases are promising thermoelectric materials owing to their versatile electronic properties. Because the valence band of half-Heusler phases benefits from the valence band extrema at several...

Nanoscale particles ZnS:Nd3+, CdS:Nd3+ and (Zn,Cd)S:Nd3+ were synthesized and doped in a polymerizing methyl methacrylate medium during the production of optically transparent polyacrylate composites of the composition PMMA/ZnS:Nd3+, PMMA/CdS:Nd3+ and PMMA/(Zn,Cd)S:Nd3+. The excitation of photoluminescence (FL) and FL of semiconductor structures in composites is associated with the transition of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band and to the levels of structural defects of semiconductor particles, followed by recombination at these levels. Based on changes in the excitation spectra of FL and FL composites, assumptions are made about the structure of particles, the distribution of Nd3+ ions in it and their effect on photoluminescence.

The optical properties of a wide series of the tungstates with the scheelite and wolframite crystal structure at the threshold of the fundamental absorption region were studied. New information about the influence of the electronic states forming the bottom of the conduction band and the top of the valence band on the formation of emission centers and mechanisms of energy transfer to these centers was obtained.

It's highly desired to design an effective Z-scheme photocatalyst with excellent charge transfer and separation, a more negative conduction band edge (ECB) than O2/·O2− (−0.33 eV) and a more positive valence band edge (EVB) than ·OH/OH− (+2.27 eV).

AbstractAb initioelectronics structure calculations have been carried out in a series of RPb2n-1Te2n, n=16, compounds to understand the nature of “defect” states introduced by R where R = vacancy, monovalent Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ag atoms and divalent Cd atoms. We find that the density of states (DOS) near the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band get significantly modified. The Na atom seems to perturb this region least (ideal acceptor in PbTe) and the other monovalent atoms enhance the DOS near the top of the valence band. Cd is an interesting case, since it introduces a strong resonance state near the bottom of the conduction band.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure of thin film wurtzite GaN has been studied using a combination of angle resolved photoemission, soft x-ray absorption and soft x-ray emission spectroscopies. We have measured the bulk valence and conduction band partial density of states by recording Ga L- and N K- x-ray emission and absorption spectra. We compare the x-ray spectra to a recent ab initio calculation and find good overall agreement. The x-ray emission spectra reveal that the top of the valence band is dominated by N 2p states, while the x-ray absorption spectra show the bottom of the conduction band as a mixture of Ga 4s and N 2p states, again in good agreement with theory. However, due to strong dipole selection rules we can also identify weak hybridization between Ga 4s- and N 2p-states in the valence band. Furthermore, a component to the N K-emission appears at approximately 19.5 eV below the valence band maximum and can be identified as due to hybridization between N 2p and Ga 3d states. We report preliminary results of a study of the full dispersion of the bulk valence band states along high symmetry directions of the bulk Brillouin zone as measured using angle resolved photoemission. Finally, we tentatively identify a non-dispersive state at the top of the valence band in parts of the Brillouin zone as a surface state.
