AbstractOnly recently have there been fully quantum-mechanical calculations of two-dimensional surface stress tensors. We have calculated total energies and stresses of semiconductor surfaces within the Local Density Approximation, using norm-conserving pseudopotentials. In order to hasten convergence of the stress with respect to basis size, it is useful to remove a fictitious tensile stress. We have calculated surface stress for the relaxed Si (111) 1×1 and 2×2-adatom surfaces, as well as for the relaxed Ge (111) 1×1 and 2×2-adatom surfaces. We have also calculated the surface stress for several chemisorbed systems, including Ga, Ge and As chemisorbed onto Si. We find a dramatic correlation between the electronic structure and chemistry of the surface, and its elastic properties.

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.

ABSTRACTThe prospect of lattice structure and ferroelectricity of SnTiO3 have been studied by first-principles calculations within local density approximation. The results showed that the SnTiO3 has the minimum total energy within almost tetragonal perovskite structure of a=b=3.80 Å, c=4.09 Å. The calculated electronic structure of SnTiO3 resembles that of PbTiO3 because the Ti 3d states, Sn 5s and 5p states hybridize with the O 2p orbitals. The moment of spontaneous polarization of SnTiO3 was estimated as 73 μ C/cm2, which is as large as that of PbTiO3.

Two Phases

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.

Germanium Single Crystal

Density functional theory (DFT) with local density approximation has been used to calculate the formation energy (EF) of the neutral vacancy in germanium single crystal. It was shown that careful checking of convergence with respect to the number of k-points is necessary when calculating the formation energy of the intrinsic point defects in Ge. The formation energy of the single neutral vacancy was estimated at 2.35 eV which is in excellent agreement with published experimental data.

AbstractUtilizing a two-dimensional material in an electronic device as channel layer inevitably involves the formation of contacts with metallic electrodes. As these contacts can dramatically affect the behavior of the device, we study the electronic properties of monolayer Janus MoSSe in contact with different metallic electrodes by first-principles calculations, focusing on the differences in the characteristics of contacts with the two sides of MoSSe. In particular, we demonstrate that the Fermi level pinning is different for the two sides of MoSSe, with the magnitude resembling that of MoS2 or MoSe2, while both sides can form Ohmic contacts with common electrode materials without any further adaptation, which is an outstanding advantage over MoS2 and MoSe2.

The structural, elastic and thermodynamic properties of the A15 structure V3Ir, V3Pt and V3Au were studied using first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) methods. The results have shown that both GGA and LDA methods can process the structural optimization in good agreement with the available experimental parameters in the compounds. Furthermore, the elastic properties and Debye temperatures estimated by LDA method are typically larger than the GGA methods. However, the GGA methods can make better prediction with the experimental values of Debye temperature in V3Ir, V3Pt and V3Au, signifying the precision of the calculating work. Based on the E–V data derived from the GGA method, the variations of the Debye temperature, coefficient of thermal expansion and heat capacity under pressure ranging from 0 GPa to 50 GPa and at temperature ranging from 0 K to 1500 K were obtained and analyzed for all compounds using the quasi-harmonic Debye model.
