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.

ABSTRACTAn atomistic modelling based on density functional theory within the framework of the local density approximation is used to show the trends in the energetic properties of single and double defects in CdTe semiconductor, without phase transformation. A systematic study of vacancies, Mn substituting Cd atoms in a supercell structure consisting of 16-atoms is presented. The changes of structural properties and lattice parameters due to the addition of Mn-atomic type defects in CdTe matrix are compared, and the number of vacancies is also determined from the total energy calculations.

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.

The present study deals with first-principles calculations of the thermal properties of ZnTe in the two phases namely, zinc-blende and wurtzite. The calculations are mainly performed using the density functional theory with the local density approximation and response-function calculations. The full phonon dispersions throughout the Brillouin zone are presented. The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters, bulk modulus, entropy and heat capacity are examined and discussed. Our findings agree reasonably well with those available in the literature.

Ferroelectric materials of lanthanum (La) doped PbZrTiO3 (PLZT) were investigated via first principles study. The structural, electronic and optical properties of PLZT in tetragonal structure (P4mm space group) were performed in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) methods. The calculated results of structural properties of PLZT were seen to be approximately close to the experimental data. The results of the electronic part were covered with the calculation of energy band gap and density of states (DOS). The highest valence band (VB) which lies at the Fermi level (EF) was dominated by the O 2p at F point. The conduction band (CB) of PLZT occurred at G point, which was primarily dominated by Ti 3d mixed at Pb and La p-state. Whereas the optical part was covered with the refractive index and absorption. The refractive index, n and the extinction coefficient, k were calculated with respect to photon energy. Those results obtained could be such a good prediction in studying parameters and properties of new materials.
