Vacancy Defects Induced Magnetism in Armchair Graphdiyne Nanoribbon
Spin-polarized electronic and transport properties of Armchair GraphdiyneNanoribbons (A-GDYNR) with single vacancy (SV), two types of configurations fordouble vacancy (DV1, DV2) and multi vacancy (MV) defects are studied by nonequilibriumGreen’s function (NEGF) combined with density functional theory (DFT).The results demonstrate that the A-GDYNR with the SV has the lowe...
متن کاملElectronic Structure of Pure and Doped Cuprous Oxide with Copper Vacancies: Suppression of Trap States
Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is an attractive material for solar energy applications, but its photoconductivity is limited by minority carrier recombination caused by native defect trap states. We examine the creation of trap states by cation vacancies, using first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) to analyze the electronic structure and calculate formation energies. With...
متن کاملThe simultaneous effect of 3d impurities of transition metals and oxygen vacancy defect on TiO2 anatase and rutile
In this work, the formation of oxygen-vacancy defect in 3d metals-doped TiO2 anatase and rutile structures is first investigated. The systematic calculations of formation energy, crystalline stability, band structure and density of state (DOS) of TiO2 samples of anatase and rutile doped with 3d transition metals with and without oxygen defect is done using FHI-aims as a software package based o...
متن کاملElectronic texture of the thermoelectric oxide Na0.75CoO2.
From 59Co and 23Na NMR, we demonstrate the impact of the Na+ vacancy ordering on the cobalt electronic states in Na0.75CoO2: at long time scales, there is neither a disproportionation into 75% Co3+ and 25% Co4+ states, nor a mixed-valence metal with a uniform Co3.25+ state. Instead, the system adopts an intermediate configuration in which 30% of the lattice sites form an ordered pattern of loca...
متن کاملرسانایی و ابررسانایی توسط تهی جاهای الماسی
Motivated by the idea of impurity band superconductivity in heavily Boron doped diamond, we investigate the doping of various elements into diamond to address the question, which impurity band can offer a better DOS at the Fermi level. Surprisingly, we find that the vacancy does the best job in producing the largest DOS at the Fermi surface. To investigate the effect of disorder in Anderson l...
