The electronic properties of N-doped orthorhombic SrHfO3 have been calculated using the plane-wave ultrasoft pseudopotential technique based on the first-principles density-functional theory with the local density approximation. From the calculated band structure and density of states, the bandgap reduction is observed due to the presence of the N-2p states in the top of valence bands, which leads to red-shift. Moreover, in order to clarify the charge transfer and bonding properties of N-doped orthorhombic SrHfO3, we have calculated and analysed the charge density.

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.

Mos2 Monolayer

In this paper, the geometric and electronic structure of MoS2 monolayer (ML) adsorbed on SiO2 (0001) surface were studied by using density functional theory calculations. The calculated interfacial binding energy shows that the MoS2/SiO2 hybrid system is stable. MoS2 ML is bound to the SiO2 surface with a big interlayer spacing and no covalent bonds form at the interface. The study of the density of states and the charge transfer indicates that the interaction between MoS2 ML and the SiO2 substrate is very weak. As a result, the electronic properties of MoS2 ML are almost not affected by the SiO2 substrate. This work will be beneficial to the design of MoS2 ML-based devices where a substrate is needed.

Sulfur bonding in cyclic P2S2N4 systems: a density functional comparison of 1,1,5,5-tetramethylbicyclo[3.3.0]-1,5-diphospha-3,7-dithia-2,4,6,8-tetrazocine with the 1,1,3,5,5-pentamethyl-1,5-diphospha-3,7-dithia-2,4,6,8-tetrazocine anion

Sulfur Bond

The electronic structure and the bonding of the title compounds have been investigated using density functional theory within the local density approximation, adding nonlocal corrections to exchange and correlation energy. The çross-ring sulfur-sulfur bond energy in 1,1,5,5-tetramethylbicyclo[3.3.0]-1,5-diphospha-3,7-dithia-2,4,6,8-tetrazocine was estimated to be about 133 kJ/mol. The HOMO of the 1,1,3,5,5-pentamethyl-1,5-diphospha-3,7-dithia-2,4,6,8-tetrazocine anion is mainly localized at the site of the unmethylated sulfur atom and is antibonding with respect to the sulfur—carbon bond of the methylated sulfur atom, which has a relatively weak estimated bond strength of 218 kJ/mol.

The Density Functional Theory

The electronic properties of BaCuSi 2 O 6 are studied by band structure calculation based on the density functional theory within local density approximation. We find that the electronic structure and properties are dominated by the layered character of the crystal structure arising from the in plane Cu 3d and O 2p electron interactions.

Strong Localization

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.

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.

AbstractThe structure, polarization, and zone-center phonons of bulk tetragonal BaTiO3 under compressive epitaxial stress are calculated using density functional theory within the local density approximation. The polarization, computed using the Berry-phase formalism, increases with increasing tetragonality and is found to be enhanced by nearly 70% for the largest compressive misfit strain considered (-2.28%). The results are expected to be useful for the analysis of coherent epitaxial BaTiO3 thin films and heterostructures grown on perovskite substrates having a smaller lattice constant, such as SrTiO3.

A novel mechanism of oxygen reaction on a metal surface beyond the present charge transfer or hybridization mechanism, spin-orientation dependence via a coupling mechanism due to the finite spin moment of O2 at the transition state, is obtained using a combination of spin density functional theory (SDFT) and constrained DFT.
