Dielectric properties of nanoscale multi-component systems: A first principles computational study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method has been developed within the framework of density functional theory to aid in the study of the dielectric properties of multi-component systems, with explicit treatment of surface and interface effects. Specially, we have determined the position dependent dielectric constant profiles for Si–SiO2 and SiO2polymer systems.We find that at regions close to surfaces and interfaces, the dielectric constant is enhanced compared to the corresponding bulk values. In interior regions, the dielectric constant approaches the corresponding bulk values. The calculated optical and static dielectric constant values of these systems are in excellent agreement with experimental results, and other more involved computational treatments.

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...

We investigate a nanoscale dielectric capacitor model consisting of two-dimensional, hexagonal h-BN layers placed between two commensurate and metallic graphene layers using self-consistent field density functional theory. The separation of equal amounts of electric charge of different sign in different graphene layers is achieved by applying an electric field perpendicular to the layers. The s...
متن کاملPiezoelectricity in the dielectric component of nanoscale dielectric-ferroelectric superlattices.
The origin of the functional properties of complex oxide superlattices can be resolved using time-resolved synchrotron x-ray diffraction into contributions from the component layers making up the repeating unit. The CaTiO3 layers of a CaTiO3/BaTiO3 superlattice have a piezoelectric response to an applied electric field, consistent with a large continuous polarization throughout the superlattice...
