A First Principles Investigation of Mercuric Iodide: Bulk Properties and Intrinsic Defects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We carried a theoretical investigation on the properties of mercuric iodide in the red tetragonal crystalline phase, and its respective intrinsic defects. Our calculations were performed using the ab initio spin-polarized full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method, and taking into account full atomic relaxation. The results on the structural, electronic, and optical properties were compared to available experimental data.

Within the last several years, metal halide perovskites such as methylammonium lead iodide, CH3NH3PbI3, have come to the forefront of scientific investigation as defect-tolerant, solution-processable semiconductors that exhibit excellent optoelectronic properties. The vast majority of study has focused on Pb-based perovskites, which have limited applications because of their inherent toxicity. ...
متن کاملSystematic investigation of the signal properties of polycrystalline HgI2 detectors under mammographic, radiographic, fluoroscopic and radiotherapy irradiation conditions.
The signal properties of polycrystalline mercuric iodide (HgI2) film detectors, under irradiation conditions relevant to mammographic, radiographic, fluoroscopic and radiotherapy x-ray imaging, are reported. Each film detector consists of an approximately 230 to approximately 460 microm thick layer of HgI2 (fabricated through physical vapour deposition or a screen-print process) and a thin barr...

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...

متن کاملIntrinsic defects and dopants in LiNH2: a first-principles study.
The lithium amide (LiNH(2)) + lithium hydride (LiH) system is one of the most attractive light-weight materials options for hydrogen storage. Its dehydrogenation involves mass transport in the bulk (amide) crystal through lattice defects. We present a first-principles study of native point defects and dopants in LiNH(2) using density functional theory. We find that both Li-related defects (the ...
