AbstractAbstract
[en] A Bi3.15Nd0.85Ti3O12 (BNT0.85) thin film was prepared on quartz substrates by metal-organic solution deposition. The BNT0.85 thin film annealed at 700 deg. C in a rapid thermal annealing system with flowing oxygen is polycrystalline and in single phase. The optical transmission of the film was measured by a Hitachi U-3410 spectrophotometer, and the dispersion of the refractive index of the BNT0.85 thin film was calculated by the Manifacier method. A Metricon 2010 prism coupler was used to investigate the excited transverse electrical and transverse magnetic modes in the BNT0.85 thin film. The band gap of the BNT0.85 thin film is 3.82 eV. The refractive index and the thickness of the BNT0.85 thin film at 632.8 nm were 2.3374 and 568.3 nm, respectively, which are in good agreement with the transmission measurements

AbstractAbstract
[en] TiO2 has been recently used to realize high-temperature ferromagnetic semiconductors. In fact, it has been widely used for a long time as white pigment and sunscreen because of its whiteness, high refractive index, and excellent optical properties. However, its electronic structures and the related properties have not been satisfactorily understood. Here, we use Tran and Blaha's modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) exchange potential (plus a local density approximation correlation potential) within the density functional theory to investigate electronic structures and optical properties of rutile and anatase TiO2. Our comparative calculations show that the energy gaps obtained from mBJ method agree better with the experimental results than that obtained from local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA), in contrast with substantially overestimated values from many-body perturbation (GW) calculations. As for optical dielectric functions (both real and imaginary parts), refractive index, and extinction coefficients as functions of photon energy, our mBJ calculated results are in excellent agreement with the experimental curves. Our further analysis reveals that these excellent improvements are achieved because mBJ potential describes accurately the energy levels of Ti 3d states. These results should be helpful to understand the high temperature ferromagnetism in doped TiO2. This approach can be used as a standard to understand electronic structures and the related properties of such materials as TiO2.

AbstractAbstract
[en] The first-principles calculation is performed to investigate the energy band structures, density of states (DOS) and optical properties of SrBi2A2O9 (A = Nb, Ta), by using density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The results show that the band-gap of SrBi2Nb2O9 is smaller than that of SrBi2Ta2O9, and that there are strong hybridizations of A-O bands, which play very important roles in the electronic properties and optical responses of SrBi2A2O9. SrBi2Ta2O9 stimulates much higher photocatalytic activity than SrBi2Nb2O9, which is due to its suitable crystal structure.

AbstractAbstract
[en] A first principles study using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method is applied to study the structural, electronic and optical properties of BiAlxGa1−xO3. The results show that the alloys become markedly hard as the Al concentration increases. The calculated structural parameters are in good agreement with the experimental data. The band structure and density of states are obtained, which indicate that BiAlxGa1−xO3 has an indirect band gap. Moreover, the optical properties are calculated and analyzed in detail. It is proposed that BiAlxGa1−xO3 is a promising dielectric material. (condensed matter: electronic structure, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The pseudo-potential plane wave (PP-PW) method with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) is used to calculate the structural, electronic and optical properties of cubic and tetragonal BaZrxTi1−xO3(BZT) (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75). The calculated structural parameters are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The energy band structure density of states (DOS) are obtained, which indicates that the Zr substitute can induce the band gap widening of BaTiO3. Furthermore, their optical properties are also calculated and analyzed in detail. It is shown that the dielectric imaginary part of BZT decreases as x (Zr concentration) increases.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We investigate electronic structure and optical properties of LaMnO3 through density-functional-theory calculations with a recent improved exchange potential. Calculated gaps are consistent with recent experimental values, and calculated optical conductivities and dielectric constants as functions of photon energy are in excellent agreement with low-temperature experimental results. These lead to a satisfactory theoretical understanding of the electronic gaps and optical properties of LaMnO3 without tuning atomic parameters and can help elucidate electronic structures and magnetic properties of other manganite materials. - Highlights: → Understanding LaMnO3 is crucial to explore manganites for spintronics. → We investigate LaMnO3 through DFT calculations with a new exchange potential. → Calculated electronic and optical results are better than those with GGA and LDA. → Calculated results are in excellent agreement with experiment. → These lead to a satisfactory DFT understanding of LaMnO3 without tuning parameters.
