The electronic and optical properties of the lead sulfide are studied using first-principles calculations. The energy band structure and density of state of PbS are calculated. The results suggest that PbS exhibit a narrow band gap. The Mulliken analysis shows that the Pb-S bond is ionic. The dielectric function, absorption coefficient, reflectivity spectrum, refractive index and extinction coefficient are calculated for radiation up to 35eV. We have show that S (3p) electrons states and Pb (6p) electrons states play an important role in these transitions.

A detailed theoretical study of the optical properties of β-Si3N4 has been carried out by means of first-principles calculations using the plane-wave pseudo-potential method with generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation functional. The calculated maximum absorption coefficient is 312000, which is in good agreement with the other calculated result. β-Si3N4 can be used as a photo-electronic material because its absorption curve has an abrupt limit at low energy region. The light beam with the frequency of 7eV~15eV can easily traverse the β-Si3N4 crystal. For the dielectric function, the strongest peaks are located at 6.5 and 9.0eV for the real and imaginary parts, respectively. Moreover, the calculated static dielectric constant is 3.21. Actually speaking, our calculated results should be testified by experiments in the near future.

The electronic properties and the optical properties of wurtzite InN are studied by the first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The calculations are based on the Generalized-Gradient Approximation (GGA) and implemented in Plane Wave Self-Consist Field (PWSCF). The optical properties of InN are investigated by the pseudo-potential method with PBEsol-GGA within the WIEN2K program. Band structure, density of states and dielectric functions are calculated detailedly. The energy transitions are observed and compared existing data at critical points. Moreover the new peak in between the region 12 eV to 14 eV should be due to transitions from the In-5p states to the N-2s states.

The effect of halide composition on the structural, electronic, and optical properties of CsPb(Br1−xClx)3 perovskite was investigated in this study. When the chloride (Cl) content of x was increased, the unit cell volume decreased with a linear function. Theoretical X-ray diffraction analyses showed that the peak (at 2θ = 30.4°) shifts to a larger angle (at 2θ = 31.9°) when the average fraction of the incorporated Cl increased. The energy bandgap (Eg) was observed to increase with the increase in Cl concentration. For x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.33, 0.50, 0.66, 0.75, and 1.00, the Eg values calculated using the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof potential were between 1.53 and 1.93 eV, while those calculated using the modified Becke−Johnson generalized gradient approximation (mBJ–GGA) potential were between 2.23 and 2.90 eV. The Eg calculated using the mBJ–GGA method best matched the experimental values reported. The effective masses decreased with a concentration increase of Cl to 0.33 and then increased with a further increase in the concentration of Cl. Calculated photoabsorption coefficients show a blue shift of absorption at higher Cl content. The calculations indicate that CsPb(Br1−xClx)3 perovskite could be used in optical and optoelectronic devices by partly replacing bromide with chloride.

In a comprehensive study, structural properties, electronic structure and optical response of crystalline o-phenanthroline were investigated. Our results show that in generalized gradient approximation (GGA) approximation, o-phenanthroline is a direct bandgap semiconductor of 2.60 eV. In the framework of many-body approach, by solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation (BSE), dielectric properties of crystalline o-phenanthroline were studied and compared with phenanthrene. Highly anisotropic components of the imaginary part of the macroscopic dielectric function in o-phenanthroline show four main excitonic features in the bandgap region. In comparison to phenanthrene, these excitons occur at lower energies. Due to smaller bond lengths originated from the polarity nature of bonds in presence of nitrogen atoms, denser packing, and therefore, a weaker screening effect, exciton binding energies in o-phenanthroline were found to be larger than those in phenanthrene. Our results showed that in comparison to the independent-particle picture, excitonic effects highly redistribute the oscillator strength.

Abstract The effect of pressure on the electronic and optical properties of SrAl2O4 up to 25 GPa was studied by means of the pseudo-potential plane waves method within the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation. The calculated lattice parameters are consistent with available experimental and theoretical data. By analyzing the electronic and optical properties, the pressure dependences of the electronic structures and optical constants were investigated. The band structures show an indirect band gap for this compound and the calculated band gaps expend with increasing pressure. Meanwhile, the optical properties including the dielectric spectra, absorption coefficient spectra, reflectivity, and the real part of the refractive index spectra in the low energy range have a blue shift. Given this, the optical properties of SrAl2O4 could be tuned by changing pressure to some degree, which is beneficial to the optical applications.

AbstractFirst principles calculations have been performed to investigate the structure, electronic and optical properties of Y3Fe5O12. Both the cubic and trigonal phases have been considered in our calculation. The calculated structural parameters are slightly larger than the experimental values. The band structures show that Y3Fe5O12 in cubic and trigonal phases have direct band gaps of 0.65 and 0.17 eV. The calculations of dielectric function, absorption, extinction coefficient, refractive index, energy loss function and reflectivity are presented.
