Abstract The structural, electronic, and optical properties of hydrogenated silicene have been studied under different hydrostatic pressures using first-principle calculations. The binding energy and band structure have been calculated for Chair (C-) and Boat (B-) structures, which are having good stability at 0 GPa, 3 GPa, 6 GPa, 9 GPa, 12 GPa, 15 GPa, and 18 GPa hydrostatic pressures. Stability has been verified using binding energy and phonon calculations. The C- and B- structures have become metallic and unstable at 21 GPa. The optical properties of B-configuration have been studied in the energy range of 0-20 eV. Five optical parameters such as conductivity threshold (σth), dielectric constant ε(0), refractive index n(0), birefringence Δn(0) and plasmon energy (ħωp) have been calculated for the first time under different hydrostatic pressures. The calculated values are in good agreement with the reported values at 0 GPa.

Abstract The structural, electronic, and optical properties of hydrogenated silicene have been studied under different pressures using first-principle calculations. The binding energy and band structure have been calculated for two stable structures: Chair (C-) and Boat (B-) in the range of 0–21 GPa external pressure. The behavior of stability and energy bandgap have been analyzed under different external pressures. The stability has been verified using binding energy and phonon data. The C- and B- structures have zero bandgaps at 21 GPa and become unstable. The optical properties of B-configuration have been studied in the energy range of 0–20 eV. Five optical parameters such as conductivity threshold (σth), dielectric constant ε(0), refractive index n(0), birefringence Δn(0) and plasmon energy (ħωp) have been calculated for the first time under different pressures. The calculated values are in good agreement with the reported values at 0 GPa.

Abstract The structural, electronic, and optical properties of hydrofluorinated germanene have been studied with different occupancy ratios of fluorine and hydrogen. The hybridization of H-1s and Ge-4p orbitals in hydrogenated germanene and F-2p and Ge-4p orbitals in fluorinated germanene plays a significant role in creating an energy bandgap. The binding energy and phonon calculations confirm the stability of hydrofluorinated germanene decreases with the increase of the F to H ratio. The value of the energy bandgap decreased by increasing the ratio of F and H. The optical properties have been studied in the energy range of 0-25 eV. Six essential parameters such as energy bandgap (Eg), binding energy (Eb), dielectric constant ε(0), refractive index n(0), plasmon energy (ћωp), and heat capacity (Cp) have been calculated for different occupancies of H and F in hydrofluorinated germanene for the first time. The calculated values of structural parameters agree well with the available experimental and reported values.

Abstract First-principle calculations of electronic, elastic, and optical properties for ZnIn2Te4 and HgIn2Te4 defect-chalcopyrite semiconductors have been performed using local density approximation (LDA). Computed energy bandgaps are 1.398 eV and 1.101 eV, respectively, for ZnIn2Te4 and HgIn2Te4, which show the indirect bandgaps behavior. Elastic parameters and Debye temperature have also been investigated at 0, 5, 10, 13, and 14 GPa pressures. Calculated results indicate that both semiconductors are covalent in nature at 0 GPa and become ionic afterward. Optical parameters have also been examined under 0, 5, 10, and 13 GPa in the energy span of 0 eV to 15 eV. The calculated values indicate that these semiconductors are mechanically stable up to 13 GPa and become unstable at 14 GPa. The Calculated values of all parameters are compared with the available experimental and reported values at 0 GPa. A reasonable agreement has been obtained between them. The values of these parameters at 5, 10, 13, and 14 GPa pressures are reported for the first time.

Abstract The structural, electronic, and optical properties of hydrogenated silicene have been investigated using first-principles DFT calculations. In comparison to pristine silicene, the hydrogenated silicene exhibits high stability, reduced anisotropy, and less birefringence. In the visible range, hydrogenated silicene exhibits a constant refractive index than silicene. The elastic and optical parameters: Young’s modulus (Y), poisson’s ratio (ν), bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), dielectric constant ε(0), refractive index n(0), conductivity threshold (Eth), birefringence Δn(0), and plasmon energy (ħωp) were calculated for the first time for various hydrogen occupancy levels. The estimated parameters are agree well with the experimental and reported values that are available.
