  • 摘要: 基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理平面波超软赝势方法,建立了本征SnO2、SnO2:In、SnO2:Ga和SnO2:(In,Ga) 超晶胞模型并进行了几何结构优化,对其能带结构、 态密度、 电荷密度及光学性质进行了模拟计算. 结果显示,相比于SnO2:In和SnO2:Ga,SnO2:(In, Ga)的晶格常数更接近于本征SnO2,可有效降低SnO2材料掺杂体系的晶格畸变. SnO2中In、Ga的掺入能够增大材料的带隙值,且能带结构向高能方向移动,材料呈现典型的p型半导体特性. SnO2:(In, Ga)中,In与Ga掺杂原子和O原子的电子云呈现出共价键特性. 光学性能表明,SnO2:(In, Ga)晶体中,光子能量在0~2.45eV和大于6.27eV的范围内表现出良好的介电性能,在微型微电子传感器机械系统器件和高密度信息存储等方面具有良好的应用前景. SnO2:(In, Ga)在可见光范围内具有105cm-1数量级的吸收系数,能够强烈地吸收光能,在光电器件的吸收材料中具有潜在的应用前景.

     

    Abstract: Based on the ultra-soft pseudopotential approach of the plane-wave based upon density functional theory, the supercell of pure SnO2, SnO2:In, SnO2:Ga and SnO2:(In, Ga) model was established, its geometry structure was optimized, and the band structures, density of states, charge density and optical properties were obtained. The results show that the lattice constant of SnO2:(In, Ga) is more close to the pure SnO2, comparing with the SnO2:In and nO2:Ga, which can effectively reduce the lattice distortion of doped SnO2. The bandgap value increase and the band structure move toward the high energy direction for the doped SnO2, presenting p-type features. For the co-doped SnO2:(In,Ga), the electron clouds of the In (Ga) and O atoms have shown the characteristics of covalent bond. For the SnO2:(In, Ga), when the photon energy about 0~2.45eV and greater than 6.27eV, the crystal performance shows pretty dielectric character, which has a good application prospect in tiny microelectronic sensor mechanical system device and high density information storage. SnO2:(In, Ga) will be widely used in the photoelectric device for its strongly absorption capacity of light energy, the absorption coefficient reached to 105 cm-1.
