چکیده
The electronic and optical properties of MgSxX1−x (X =Se, Te), and MgSexTe1−x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) ternary alloys are investigated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT). The direct band gap energies vary in the ranges 2.854–3.864 eV, 2.470–3.864 eV, and 2.470–2.854 eV for MgSxSe1−x, MgSxTe1−x, and MgSexTe1−x, respectively. These band gaps show a closer agreement with the experimental observations than the calculations by Hassan and Amrani [J. Phys. Condens. Matter 19, 386234 (2007)] using the same potential. Dielectric constants of the alloys are found to vary inversely with dopant concentrations as well as band gaps. Concentration dependent optical conductivity and reflectivity of the same alloys are also discussed.

Ab-initio study of Electronic, Optical, Dynamic and Thermoelectric properties of CuSbX2 (X=S,Se) compounds
Abstract: In this work we investigate the electronic, optical, dynamic and thermoelectric properties of ternary copper-based Chalcogenides CuSbX2 (X= S, Se) compounds. Calculations are based on density functional theory and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Computations have been carried out by using Quantum-Espresso (PWSCF) package and ab-initio pseudo-potential technique. To estimate the e...

متن کاملCalculation of Electronic and Optical Properties of Doped Titanium Dioxide Nanostructure
By means of first principles calculations we show that both rutile and anatase phases of bulk TiO2 doped by S, Se or Pb can display substantial decreasing in the band gap (up to 50%), while doping by Zr does not sizably affect the band-gap value. Moreover, the absorption edge is shifted (up to 1 eV) to the lower energy range in the case of TiO2 doped by S or Pb that opens a way to enhancin...
متن کاملFirst-principles study on the electronic structure of Thiophenbithiol (TBT) on Au(100) surface
First principle calculations were performed using Density functional theory within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) to understand the electronic properties of Au(100)+TBT system and compare the results with Au(100) and bulk Au properties. Band structure, the total DOS and charge density for these materials are calculated. We found that the HOMO for Au(100)+TBT becomes broader than Au...
