The structural, electronic, and optical properties of rutile-type SnO2 are studied by plane-wave pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) with GGA, LDA, B3LYP and PBE0 respectively. The computing results show that the band gap getting from PBE0 and B3LYP is much more consistent with the available experimental data than that from GGA and LDA, no matter what the latter use ultra-soft pseudopotential or norm conserving pseudopotential. However, the density of state, real part and imaginary part of dielectric function calculating from every type is basically similar in qualitative analysis.

We investigated the electronic and optical properties of ZnO under the circumstances of isovalent anionic doping by sulfur. A pseudopotential implementation of density functional theory is applied within the local density approximation to examine the modification of band structure in wurtzite ZnO by sulfur substitution. Although Fermi level position does not change, a strong localization of Zn-[Formula: see text] orbital is found by S-doping. Optical properties and constants are found to strongly depend on the sulfur content at low photon energies.

The structural, electronic and optical properties of pure and neodymium (Nd) doped anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2)are investigated via first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT) approach. The band gap reduces to ~0.398 eV when Ti4+ is substituted with Nd3+ in TiO2 crystal structure. The presence of Nd 4f states in the conduction band of TiO2 clarifies the reducing of the band gap. The dielectric constant and refractive index of Nd-doped TiO2 increase compare to pure TiO2. Nd-doped TiO2 able to enhance light absorption to longer wavelength spectrum. The first-principles results obtained satisfy the criteria for Nd-doped TiO2 to become feasible photoanode material in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device.
