Atomic structure and electronic density of states around the Fermi level in amorphous carbon models

The electronic density of states (DOS) of both pure and Co-substituted YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 has been calculated by a recursion method. The results show that the total DOS at the Fermi level of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 mainly comes from the contributions of the O 2p and Cu 3d orbitals. After Co doping, the O 2p–Cu 3d bonds are destroyed while the O 2p–Co 3d bonds are formed at lower energies, and the total DOS at the Fermi level decreases strikingly. In addition, our results reveal that the CuO chain has a one-dimensional feature.

In this paper, we studied the electronic density of states (DOS) and optical properties ZnO using first-principles method. We find that the electronic density of states was different in bulk ZnO and ZnO nanotube. The DOS of bulk ZnO spread at wide energy while the DOS of ZnO nanotube concentrated in a narrow energy range. The peak around-18 eV moved to a higher energy. The peaks more than Fermi level concentrated to the Fermi level, which meant the conductivity of ZnO nanotube was better than that of bulk ZnO. We also calculated the optical properties of ZnO nanotube. The optical properties showed that there were peaks around 8 eV, which may come from electrons transition between Zn 3dand O 2pstates. Our calculation provided a reference for the application of ZnO nanotube in optical devices.

Crystal Orbital

ABSTRACTElectronic structures of hexagonal Zn-Mg-Y and Cd58Y13 compounds are studied by first-principles calculations. Both of the systems show deep pseudogap in the electronic density of states near the Fermi level and considered to be stabilized electronically. To illustrate bonding nature of electronic wavefunctions, the crystal orbital Hamilton population (COHP) is calculated for neighboring pairs of atoms in the unit cell. It is found that the bonding nature is changed from bonding to anti-bonding almost exactly at the Fermi level for Zn-Zn and Cd-Cd bonds. On the contrary, for Zn/Cd-Y bonds, both of the states below and above the pseudogap behave as bonding ones. Possible effects of the p-d hybridization are discussed.
