In this paper, the electronic structures and magnetic properties of the Cu -doped ZnO monolayer are investigated by means of first-principles methods based on density functional theory. Numerical results show that the Cu dopant can induce the half-metallic ferromagnets in the ZnO monolayer due to the strong p–d coupling. In addition, the semiconductor band gap is also decreased when Zn atom is substituted by Cu atom in the ZnO monolayer. Moreover, the formation energy calculations also indicate that it is energy favorable and relatively easier to incorporate Cu atom into the ZnO monolayer under Zn -rich experimental conditions.

Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we investigated systematically the electronic structures and magnetic properties of Ti-doped ZnO. The results indicate that Ti doped ZnO prefers the ferromagnetic ground state and shows a metallic behavior. We found that Ti-doped ZnO is a weak ferromagnet and FM exchange interaction is short-ranged. In addition, it has been found that Ti atoms have a tendency of cluster together around O atoms.

The first-principles with pseudopotentials method based on the density functional theory was applied to calculate the formation energy of impurities and the electronic structure of ZnO doped with Na. In Na-doped ZnO, NaOis the most unstable than the other cases. Simultaneously, NaZnis more stable than Naiaccording to that NaZnhave smaller formation energy. Furthermore, the electronic structure of Na-doped ZnO indicates that that NaZnbehaves as an acceptor, while Naibehaves as a donor.

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

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.

Proportional Relationship

First-principles study based on density functional theory has been employed to investigate width-dependent structural stability and magnetic properties of monolayer zigzag MoS2 nanoribbons (ZZ-MoS2 NRs). The width N = 4–6 (the numbers of zigzag Mo–S chains along the ribbon length) are considered. The results show that all studied ZZ-MoS2 NRs are less stable than two-dimensional MoS2 monolayer, exhibiting that a broader width ribbon behaves better structural stability and an inversely proportional relationship between the structural stability (or the ribbon with) and boundary S–Mo interaction. Electronic states imply that all ZZ-MoS2 NRs exhibit magnetic properties, regardless of their widths. Total magnetic moment increases with the increasing width N, which is mainly ascribed to the decreasing S–Mo interaction of the two zigzag edges. In order to confirm this reason, a uniaxial tension strain is applied to ZZ-MoS2 NRs. It has been found that, with the increasing tension strain, the bond length of boundary S–Mo increases, at the same time, the magnetic moment increases also. Our results suggest the rational applications of ZZ-MoS2 NRs in nanoelectronics and spintronics.

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.
