Electronic states of silicon vacancy. I. Covalent states

چکیده

Self-consistent generalized valence bond (GVB) and configuration-interaction calculations have been performed for a cluster model of the neutral vacancy in silicon. Three low-lying states ('E, 'T„sA2) are found to possess one electron in dangling-bond orbitals on each of the four silicon atoms around the defect. Of these three covalent states, the 'E is found to be the ground state with the excitation energies to the 'T, and A2 states being 0.17 and 0.60 eV, respectively. The shapes of the GVB orbitals for all three states are found to be quite similar.

First-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...

Electronic effects at 2 and 7 α–position of divalent unsaturated seven membered ring R2C6H6M (M=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb)

Electronic effects were investigated on the singlet–triplet energy gaps of divalent unsaturated seven- membered ring R2C6H6M (M=C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, R= –H, -CH3, i-Pr , t-Bu) at B3LYP/6-311++G** level. All the triplet states of R2C6H6C were more stable than the related the singlet states while all the singlet states of R2C6H6M (M= Si, Ge, Sn, Pb, R= –H, -CH3, i-Pr , t-Bu) were more stable than th...

DFT Study on Oxygen-Vacancy Stability in Rutile/Anatase TiO2: Effect of Cationic Substitutions

In this study, a full-potential density functional theory was used to investigate the effects of Ti substitution by different cations. In both rutile and anatase, Ti atom was replaced by Ce, Au, Sn, Ag, Mo, Nb, Zr, and Y. Phase stability, electronic structure and formation energy of oxygen vacancy were compared for rutile and anatase. The results indicated that substitution of Ce and Zr increas...
