First-principle ultrasoft pseudo potential approach of the plane wave based on density functional theory (DFT) has been used for studying the electronic characterization and optical properties of ZnO and Fe, Co doped ZnO. The results show that the doping impurities change the lattice parameters a little, but bring more changes in the electronic structures. The band gaps are broadened by doping, and the Fermi level accesses to the conduction band which will lead the system to show the character of metallic properties. The dielectric function and absorption peaks are identified and the changes compared to pure ZnO are analyzed in detail.

Based on first-principles method of density functional theory, the electronic structures and absorbing properties of pure ZnO system and Co doped ZnO have been calculated. Meanwhile, the relationships between electronic structures and absorbing properties are investigated. The results show that the absorbing properties of Co doped ZnO improved significantly compared to pure ZnO system. Absorption frequency peak moves to low frequency and two absorption band appear at 425.6nm and 802.7nm, combining the absorbing properties of experimental results of Co-doped ZnO. The theoretical results have offered theoretical data for the designing and application of of ZnO which is a new type of wave absorbing material and is subjected to an extensive concern. Meanwhile, the calculated results also enable more precise monitoring and controlling during the growth of ZnO material.

Bandgap tailoring of [Formula: see text]-Si3N4 is performed by single and co-doping by using density functional theory (DFT) of PBE functional and plane-wave pseudopotential method. The results reveal that a direct bandgap transfers into an indirect one when single-doped with As element. Also, a considerate decrease of bandgap to 0.221 eV and 0.315 eV is present for Al–P and As–P co-doped systems, respectively, exhibiting a representative semiconductor property that is characteristic for a narrower bandgap. Compared with other doped systems, Al-doped system with formation energy of 2.67 eV is present for a more stable structure. From charge density difference (CDD) maps, it is found that the blue area between co-doped atoms increases, illustrating an enhancement of covalent property for Al–P and Al–As bonds. Moreover, a slightly obvious “Blue shift” phenomenon can be obtained in Al, Al–P and Al–As doped systems, indicating an enhanced capacity of responses to light, which contributes to the insight for broader applications with regard to photoelectric devices.

Vacancy defects are common defects formed in the syntheses of silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNTs) and seriously impact the electronic structures of the nanotubes. With first-principle calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), vacancy defective (6,2) SiCNTs are studied. Vacancies form a pair of fivefold and ninefold rings. Carbon vacancy introduces an occupied defect level near the top of the valence band and an unoccupied level in the conduction band. Three defect levels are found in the band gap of the SiCNT with a silicon vacancy. These results are helpful for investigations on SiCNT devices and sensors.
