Bandgap tailoring of [Formula: see text]-Si3N4 is performed by single and co-doping by using density functional theory (DFT) of PBE functional and plane-wave pseudopotential method. The results reveal that a direct bandgap transfers into an indirect one when single-doped with As element. Also, a considerate decrease of bandgap to 0.221 eV and 0.315 eV is present for Al–P and As–P co-doped systems, respectively, exhibiting a representative semiconductor property that is characteristic for a narrower bandgap. Compared with other doped systems, Al-doped system with formation energy of 2.67 eV is present for a more stable structure. From charge density difference (CDD) maps, it is found that the blue area between co-doped atoms increases, illustrating an enhancement of covalent property for Al–P and Al–As bonds. Moreover, a slightly obvious “Blue shift” phenomenon can be obtained in Al, Al–P and Al–As doped systems, indicating an enhanced capacity of responses to light, which contributes to the insight for broader applications with regard to photoelectric devices.

YFeO3, YFe0.95Co0.05O3, Y0.95Gd0.05FeO3 and Y1−xGdxFe0.95Co0.05O3 (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20) nanopowders were successfully fabricated via a low-temperature solid-state reaction technique. Results obtained using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectra indicate that YFeO3 nanopowders with Gd3+ and Co3+ ions co-doping at Y and Fe-sites were fabricated at 800 °C in sizes below 50 nm, and a distorted structure was obtained. Magnetic hysteresis loop analyses illustrate that ferromagnetic behavior of YFeO3 nanopowders can be enhanced with the addition of Gd and Co. Whereas the maximum and remnant magnetization of the powders were found to be about 5.24 and 2.6 emu/g, respectively, the optical band gap was around 2.4 eV, proving that co-doped YFeO3 nanopowders have a strong capability to absorb visible light. Because both magnetic and optical properties of these materials are greatly improved with the addition of Gd and Co, one can expect the scope of their potential application in the magnetic and optical fields to increase.

Representing single-layer to tens of layers of graphene in a size less than 30 nm, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) is becoming an advanced multifunctional material for its unique optical, electronic, spin and photoelectric properties induced by the quantum confinement effect and edge effect. In present work, upon co-doping engineering, nitrogen and chlorine co-doped CQDs with uniquely strong blue-green double emissions are developed via a facile and one-pot hydrothermal method. The crystalline and optical properties of CQDs have been well manipulated by tuning the mole ratio of nitrogen/chlorine and the reaction time. The characteristic green emission centered at 512 nm has been verified, originating from the chlorine-related states, the other blue emissions centered at 460 nm are attributed to the conjugated π-domain. Increasing the proportion of 1,2,4-benzentriamine dihydrochloride can effectively adjust the bandgap of CQDs, mainly caused by the synergy and competition of chlorine-related states and the conjugated π-domain. Prolonging the reaction time promotes more nitrogen and chlorine dopants incorporate into CQDs, which inhibits the growth of CQDs to reduce the average size of CQDs down to 1.5 nm, so that the quantum confinement effect dominates into play. This work not only provides a candidate with excellent optical properties for heteroatoms-doped carbon materials but also benefits to stimulate the intensive studies for co-doped carbon with chlorine as one of new dopants paradigm.

Nanocomposites were prepared by the method of solution casting with different proportions of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (0, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) wt%. The structural and optical properties of nanocomposites of CMC/MgO have been studied. It was well known that the increased content of MgONPs in the method contributes to the peaks of MgONPs being completely integrated and/or disappearing within the CMC diffraction halos in the experimental results of XRD study. The differences in the XRD spectrum indicate that doping with nanoparticles induced a disparity in the microstructure of the polymer. Nanocomposite film scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveals that MgONPs appear to form aggregates and scatter well in (CMC/MgO) nanocomposite films and at apply 9 wt. It forms a continuous network within the polymer for the percentage of MgONPs to (CMC) polymer. FTIR spectrum revealed the MgONPs has no destructive influence on the polymer structure as no covalent bonds formed between CMC and MgONPs. The optical properties of CMC/MgO nanocomposites were measured in wavelength range (200–900) nm. Experimental studies have shown that the absorbance, absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index, actual and imaginary dielectric constant of CMC polymer is improved with an increase in concentrations of MgONPs in nanocomposites. The transmittance and energy gap of CMC polymer are decreased with the increase in the concentrations of MgONPs.

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
