First-principle ultrasoft pseudo potential approach of the plane wave based on density functional theory (DFT) has been used for studying the electronic characterization and optical properties of ZnO and Fe, Co doped ZnO. The results show that the doping impurities change the lattice parameters a little, but bring more changes in the electronic structures. The band gaps are broadened by doping, and the Fermi level accesses to the conduction band which will lead the system to show the character of metallic properties. The dielectric function and absorption peaks are identified and the changes compared to pure ZnO are analyzed in detail.

Spin-polarized DFT calculations were used to investigate the atomic, electronic structures of LaCoO3and La1−xSrxCoO3surfaces. The thermodynamic stability of these surfaces was analyzed with phase diagrams. Influence of Sr-doping was also examined.

Based on first-principles method of density functional theory, the electronic structures and absorbing properties of pure ZnO system and Co doped ZnO have been calculated. Meanwhile, the relationships between electronic structures and absorbing properties are investigated. The results show that the absorbing properties of Co doped ZnO improved significantly compared to pure ZnO system. Absorption frequency peak moves to low frequency and two absorption band appear at 425.6nm and 802.7nm, combining the absorbing properties of experimental results of Co-doped ZnO. The theoretical results have offered theoretical data for the designing and application of of ZnO which is a new type of wave absorbing material and is subjected to an extensive concern. Meanwhile, the calculated results also enable more precise monitoring and controlling during the growth of ZnO material.

New vanadate photocatalysts, Ag2Sr(VO3)4 and Sr(VO3)2, are theoretically designed for water oxidation reactions. The calculations have shown that the new photocatalysts possess desirable electronic structures. Our experiments demonstrated that these vanadates efficiently oxidize water to O2 under irradiation of visible light.

Integrating germanium on Si is one of the major challenges of epitaxial growth and presents important applicative interest. Recently, SrTiO3 was adopted as a buffer layer to accommodate the mismatch between Ge and Si. Germanium can take its bulk lattice parameter as soon as the growth begins without threading defects on SrTiO3 surface. However, the details of Ge adsorption on SrTiO3 surface are not clear. In present work, the electronic structures of Ge deposited on the SrTiO3 (001) 2×1 Double Layer (DL) TiO2 surfaces were investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. Several stable adsorption sites are identified. It is found that the germanium adsorption shows site selectivity and causes noticeable surface distortion. The charge transfer from germanium atom to surface contributes to the formation of strong Ge-O bondings and surface metallization.

Density functional theory calculations were carried out to investigate the electronic structures of Keggin-typed [XMo12O40]n− and [XW12O40]n− anions with different heteroatoms (X = Zn2+, B3+, Al3+, Ga3+, Si4+, Ge4+, P5+, As5+, and S6+). The influence of solvent on redox properties of heteropolyanions was discussed. For [XW12O40]n− systems two linear correlation: first, between the experimental redox potential and energies of LUMO orbital; and second, between the experimental redox potential and total energy interaction (calculated between internal tetrahedron (XO4n−), and rest of Kegging anion skeleton, (W12O36)) were designated. Taking into account the similarity of XW12O40n− and XMo12O40n− systems (in geometry and electronic structure), the estimated redox potential of molybdenum heteropolyanions (with X being p block elements) in different solvent were proposed.
