Defect formation energy in Bi2Te3 thermoelectric material was calculated using a first principles approach based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT). For vacancy-type defect, the Te1 vacancy (VTe1) is the most stable defect with low formation energy in both Bi-rich and Te-rich conditions, which indicates that the Te1 vacancies have higher probability to be formed. For antisite defects, the formation energy of BiTe1 is much lower than that of BiTe2 in Bi-rich condition, while in Te-rich condition it is beneficial for TeBi with lower formation energy. Positron wave function distribution and positron lifetimes of different annihilation states in Bi2Te3 were also calculated using the atomic superposition (ATSUP) method. The positron bulk lifetime in Bi2Te3 is about 231 ps, and for the neutral vacancy-type defects without relaxation, the positron lifetimes of VBi, VTe1 and VTe2 are 275 ps, 295 ps and 269 ps, respectively.

AbstractThe three dimensional electron density in momentum space ρ(p) and in wave vector space n(k) was reconstructed for cadmium (Cd). The measurements were performed using the two dimensional angular correlation of annihilation radiation (2D-ACAR) technique. Enhanced contributions in the spectra were observed around 5.5 mrad, discussed in terms of a Kahana-like enhancement effect. From another viewpoint, Fermi radii were analyzed in the (λM K), (ALM) and (AHK) planes, and they showed a maximum deviation of about 4% from the free electron Fermi radius. Moreover, comparisons to a radio-frequency size effect (RFSE) experiment and theoretical band structure calculations (using augmented plane wave (APW), linear combination of atomic orbital (LCAO) and linear muffin tin orbital (LMTO) methods) were examined. The results showed a qualitative agreement with both APW and LCAO calculations. However, a favorable agreement with the APW method was determined via Fermi surface dimensions. The differences of bands' occupation of n(k) between the current work and the APW method were argued in view of positron wave function in Cd.
