Electronic structure and optical properties of plutonium dioxide from first-principles calculations

The electronic structure and optical properties of Cu-doped SnS2with Sn-substituted content of 0, 12.5 and 37.5 at.% were successfully calculated by the first principles plane-wave pseudopotentials based on the density functional theory. It is found that the intermediate belts appear near the Fermi level and the energy band gap becomes narrower after the doping of the Cu atoms. The absorption peaks show a remarkable redshift and the absorption region broadens relatively after introducing acceptor impurity level. When Sn atoms of 37.5 at% were substituted by Cu, the optical absorption coefficient is significantly improved in the frequency range below 5.58 eV and over 8.13 eV.

Calculated Equilibrium

Electronic structure, effective masses and optical properties of monoclinic HfO2were studied using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential technique based on the first-principles density-functional theory (DFT). The calculated equilibrium lattice parameters are in agreement with the previous works. From the band structure, the effective masses and optical properties are obtained. The calculated band structure shows that monoclinic HfO2has indirect band gap and all of the effective masses of electrons and holes are less than that of a free electron. The peaks position distributions of imaginary parts of the complex dielectric function have been explained according to the theory of crystal-field and molecular-orbital bonding.
