We present first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the intermediate band states of substitutional V2+, Cr2+, and Mn2+ ions in ZnTe alloys. The intermediate band states of substitutional transition metal defects of TM2+xZn1−xTe (TM = V, Cr, Mn) alloys are examined as their atomic, structural, and electronic analysis. Our findings show that the scissor-corrected transitions due to Jahn-Teller effects lead to the wavelengths 2530 nm and 2695 nm in the emission spectra. Our findings agree with previously reported experimental results.

We conduct first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the ScB2 (0001) surfaces. The optimized surface structures and electronic properties are obtained. The results show that Sc-terminated surface is thermodynamically more favorable in most of range. The relaxations indicate that it is mainly localized within top three layers and it is less relaxation for Sc-terminated surface. The surface induced features in DOS disappear slowly for the B-terminated surface but vanish rapidly for the Sc-terminated surface. For the Sc-terminated surface, it shows strong metallic property. Simultaneously, both termination surfaces are found charge accumulation relative to the idea surface. Sc-B bonds are strengthened result in the outermost interface spacing are all contracted.

The stability behaviour of AlN(0001)/NbB2(0001) interface was calculated by first-principle total-energy density functional theory. The calculation indicated that the stable NbB2(0001) surface is B terminated. We joined the AlN(0001) slab and the NbB2(0001) slab with different terminations together to construct all possible AlN(0001)/NbB2(0001) interface models, and calculated their interface energies to confirm the relatively stable model. We concluded that the structure with Al is on top of B in the interface AlN (0001)/NbB2(0001) is the most stable configuration.

We performed first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the reactions of NO2 and H2S molecules on Ga–Zn–O-terminated ZnGa2O4(111) surfaces. The adsorption reaction and work functions of eight NO2 and H2S adsorption models were examined. The bonding of the nitrogen atom from a single NO2 molecule to the Ga atom of the Ga–Zn–O-terminated ZnGa2O4(111) surfaces exhibited a maximum work function change of +0.97 eV. The bond joining the sulfur atom from a single H2S molecule and the Ga atom of Ga–Zn–O-terminated ZnGa2O4(111) surfaces exhibited a maximum work function change of −1.66 eV. Both results concur with previously reported experimental observations for ZnGa2O4-based gas sensors.

ABSTRACTWe conduct first-principles total-energy density functional calculations to study the interaction of H2 on ZnO surfaces. Four surface models of Zn-terminated (0001)-, O-terminated (0001)-, $(10{\bar 1}0)-$, and $(2{\bar 1}{\bar 1}0)-$oriented ZnO planes in the presence of H2 are evaluated. The relative stability of four different surface models is examined as a function of the chemical potentials of oxygen and hydrogen. We find that only surfaces of O-terminated (0001)-oriented ZnO models exhibit active sites for the dissociation of H2, which in turn enables the formation of water from dissociative chemisorption of 2H on the O-terminated ZnO(0001) surface. The surface energy of O-terminated ZnO(0001) surface in the presence of water was found to be negative under the O-rich and H-rich condition. The findings agree with the experimental observations that ZnO epitaxial layers are easily etched by hydrogen at typical growth temperatures.
