Zno Crystal

A method using first principles and pseudopotentials based on density functional theory is applied to calculate the electronic structure and the density of states of ZnO doped with Cr, Mn and Co. Portion of Zn atoms in ZnO crystal randomly substituted by Mn, Cr or Co elements, the electronic structure of Cr2+, Mn2+and Co2+change into 3d4, 3d5and 3d7, which result in giving rise to localized magnetic moments in ZnO. It was concluded that electronic property of ZnO is not only related with levels of electrons, but also associated with spin, spin-dependent scattering and spin-dependent hopping conductivity are maybe two important mechanism.

Different Strains

Density of states and band structure of wurtzite ZnO are calculated by the CASTEP program based on density functional theory and plane-wave pseudopotential method. The calculations are carried out in axial and unaxial strains, respectively. The results of density of states in different strains show that the bottom of the conduction band is always dominated by Zn 4s, and the top of valence band is always dominated by O 2p. The variation of the band gap calculated from band structure is also discussed. In addition, p-d repulsion is used in investigating the variation of the top of the valence band in different strains and the results can be verified by electron density difference.

Atomic Rearrangement

Our present work is based on the density functional theory (DFT) studies of TiO 2 crystals doped with V impurities. Both rutile and anatase structures have been considered within the present research and different defect concentrations have been used as well. Our calculations reveal equilibrium geometry of the system showing atomic rearrangement around the point defect being mainly inward with respect to the impurity. Magnetism and electronic structure based on the density of states (DOS) patterns for both rutile and anatase crystals have been obtained and discussed in detail. It is shown that local magnetic moments arise mainly from the 3d states of the impurity atom with some admixture of 2p states from the vanadium-nearest O atoms.

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

Theory Comparison

AbstractThis contribution reports static ionic displacements in ferromagnetic disordered Fe70Pd30 alloys obtained by relaxation of the ionic positions of a 108-atom supercell within the framework of density functional theory. Comparison with a simple statistical model based on Lennard-Jones pair interactions reveals that these displacements are significantly larger than can be explained by the different sizes of the elemental constituents. The discrepancies are presumably related to collective displacements of the Fe atoms. Corresponding distortions are experimentally observed for ordered Fe3Pt and predicted by first-principles calculations for all ordered Fe-rich L12 alloys with Ni group elements and originate from details of the electronic structure at the Fermi level.

First principles density functional theory — based (GW) method — was used to simulate the electronic structure of the novel iron-based superconductor K 0.8 Fe 2 Se 2. The calculated band gap of K 0.8 Fe 2 Se 2 at the Γ point is 0.15 eV, which is significantly lower than the 0.61 eV of vacancy free crystal KFe 2 Se 2. The d-orbital of Fe atom is overlapped with the p-orbital of Se atom. Charge density analysis shows strong lattice distortion and vacancy related electric dipole and quadruple near the K vacancy. The reflectivity is anisotropic in three coordinate directions.

This paper studies the effect of GGA-PBE, GGA-PBEsol, GGA-PW91, GGA-VWN-BP, LDA-PWC, LDA-VWN parameterized exchange–correlation functionals and Cu impurity concentration on the lattice and electronic properties of bulk AuCu by the Density Functional Theory (DFT). The lattice properties are determined by the lattice constant, the unit cell volume and the total energy on unit cell. The electronic properties are determined by the band gap, the Partial Density of States (PDOS) and the total Density of States (DOS) of materials. The obtained results showed the effect of the interaction potential and the Cu impurity concentration on the lattice structure and the electronic structure of bulk AuCu.

Abstract We present a comprehensive first-principles study of the electronic structure of graphene sheet with periodic vacancy. We report the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the graphene sheet with periodic vacancy that possess 48 C & 28 H atoms. Computational analysis based on density functional theory predicts that the periodic vacancy can modulate the properties of graphene sheet. Results show that periodic vacancies lead to the manipulation of band gap & could be utilized to tailor the electronic properties of the sheet. Also, it is found that, the graphene sheet with periodic vacancy is non-magnetic in nature.
