The electronic structure and optical properties of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 ([Formula: see text], 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8) were studied by first-principle calculations within the generalized gradient approximation approaches (GGA). The lattice constants of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 increase with the increase of Ti[Formula: see text] content caused by the substitution of Ti[Formula: see text] with larger ionic radius for Mn[Formula: see text]. Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 is a direct band gap semiconductor, and the band gap ([Formula: see text]) increases with the increase of Ti[Formula: see text] content. From the density of states, the introduction of Ti-3[Formula: see text] states can weaken the effects of Mn-3[Formula: see text] states on the bottom of conduction band and has little influence on O-2[Formula: see text] states on the top of valence band. The introduction of nonmagnetic Ti[Formula: see text] ions can weaken the magnetism of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7. According to the Mulliken population analysis, it is found that the introduction of Ti[Formula: see text] enhances the electronic accepting capacity of oxygen ions and enhances the electronic losing capacity of manganese ions. The bond strength of Ti–O covalent bond is stronger than that of Mn–O covalent bond. Furthermore, the optical properties of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 was calculated. As Ti[Formula: see text] content increases, the absorption edge of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 has a blue shift, the static refractive index [Formula: see text] decreases, the static dielectric constant [Formula: see text](0) decreases, the position of loss peak moves to higher energy.

First-principle calculations have been performed to investigate the electronic structure and optical properties of ZnO co-doped with Nb and Ta. The three doping structures are set to: Zn0.9375Nb0.0625O, Zn0.9375Ta0.0625O and Zn0.875Nb0.0625Ta0.0625O. The experiments show that co-doping with Nb and Ta narrows the band gap. And it causes the Fermi level to shift upwards and enter the conduction band, while enhancing the conductivity of the doped system. In addition, it has been determined that the dielectric imaginary part of the dopant system is larger than that of the pure ZnO in the low energy region. The absorption side of the dopant system, on the other hand, exhibits a redshift. Furthermore, the transmittance of the ultraviolet region is significantly increased, and the function loss spectrum appears to redshift. This will provide a good theoretical basis for the study and the applications of photoelectric materials co-doped with Nb and Ta. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.25.3.19956

Based on first-principle calculations, electronic structure and optical properties of a single-walled zigzag SiC nanotube with silicon antisite defect have been investigated. This defect results in the formation of a bump in the surface of the nanotube. No defect energy level is formed in its band gap, which is originated from the resonance between the defect level and conduction band resulting in the defect level entering its conduction band. The most primary dielectric peak in dielectric function parallel to the axis of the nanotube is depressed, while the first peak perpendicular to its axis is enhanced. These results are meaningful for investigations on SiCNT electronic and optical devices.

Using first-principle calculations, the geometrical structure, the electronic and optical properties of Ag-doped ZnO(0001) surface have been investigated. We found that Ag-doped ZnO(0001) surface is more easily formed on the first layer. On the other hand, the doped surface has gradually become an equipotential body, showing obvious metallic characteristics. We found that a new peak appeared in the low energy region after Ag doping, which was mainly due to the electron transition between the two orbital levels of Ag-4d and O-2p.
