First principle calculations are performed on the structure, energy band gap, and dielectric properties of wurtzite and hexagonal BN by using a plane-wave pseudopotential method. It is found thath-BN has much narrower VB (valence band ) width and much sharper band edge than those ofw-BN. And the N 2sstates of the two phases of BN are dominant below 30.03 eV and the N 2pstates are dominant in the range between −20.62 and 20.32 eV.

First principle calculations have been performed to study the geometric, electronic and dielectric properties of low-buckled silicene with the adsorption of monomers, dimers and trimers of B, C and N atoms. A band gap opening has been achieved for all the C adsorbates, homo dimers of B and N, the hetero N–B dimer and the B–C–N trimer on silicene.

The electronic structure and optical properties of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 ([Formula: see text], 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8) were studied by first-principle calculations within the generalized gradient approximation approaches (GGA). The lattice constants of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 increase with the increase of Ti[Formula: see text] content caused by the substitution of Ti[Formula: see text] with larger ionic radius for Mn[Formula: see text]. Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 is a direct band gap semiconductor, and the band gap ([Formula: see text]) increases with the increase of Ti[Formula: see text] content. From the density of states, the introduction of Ti-3[Formula: see text] states can weaken the effects of Mn-3[Formula: see text] states on the bottom of conduction band and has little influence on O-2[Formula: see text] states on the top of valence band. The introduction of nonmagnetic Ti[Formula: see text] ions can weaken the magnetism of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7. According to the Mulliken population analysis, it is found that the introduction of Ti[Formula: see text] enhances the electronic accepting capacity of oxygen ions and enhances the electronic losing capacity of manganese ions. The bond strength of Ti–O covalent bond is stronger than that of Mn–O covalent bond. Furthermore, the optical properties of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 was calculated. As Ti[Formula: see text] content increases, the absorption edge of Ca3(Mn[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text]O7 has a blue shift, the static refractive index [Formula: see text] decreases, the static dielectric constant [Formula: see text](0) decreases, the position of loss peak moves to higher energy.

We investigate why normal electrons in superconductors have no resistance. Under the same conditions, the band gap is reduced to zero as well, but normal electrons at superconducting states are condensed into this virtual energy band gap.

The CdS nanoparticles of different sizes are synthesized by a simple chemical method. Here, CdS nanoparticles are grown through the reaction of solution of different concentration of CdCl2 with H2S. X-ray diffraction pattern confirms nano nature of CdS and has been used to determine the size of particle. Optical absorption spectroscopy is used to measure the energy band gap of these nanomaterials by using Tauc relation. Energy band gap ranging between 3.12 eV to 2.47 eV have been obtained for the samples containing the nanoparticles in the range of 2.3 to 6.0 nm size. A correlation between the band gap and size of the nanoparticles is also established.
