The electronic and optical properties of β-Ga2O3 have been investigated by CASTEP using first principles. It is found that β-Ga2O3 has an indirect band gap and the conduction band base is located at the Γ point. The stability of β-Ga2O3 is demonstrated by the calculation of elastic constants, and the ductility of β-Ga2O3 is demonstrated by the ratio of Poisson's ratio to shear modulus. The optical property analysis shows that β-Ga2O3 has a high absorption capacity in the ultraviolet region, but a low absorption capacity in visible and infrared light.
The structure, optical, and electronic properties of β-GaO are calculated and analyzed based on first-principles calculation. The optimized structures of β-GaO are in good agreement with previously studied. In this paper, the elastic, electronic, and optical properties of β-GaO are calculated.
The CASTEP code was employed to execute these calculations in the present work, where the exchange-correlation interactions were treated in the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) using the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) functional in the geometry optimizations and electronic and elastic properties.
CASTEP 使用第一性原理对β-Ga2O3 的电子和光学性质进行了研究。发现β-Ga2O3 具有间接带隙,导带底位于Γ点。通过弹性常数计算证明了β-Ga2O3 的稳定性,通过泊松比与剪切模量之比证明了β-Ga2O3 的延展性。光学性质分析表明,β-Ga2O3 在紫外区域具有高吸收能力,但在可见光和红外光区域吸收能力较低。
基于第一性原理计算对β-GaO 的结构、光学和电子性质进行了计算和分析。β-GaO 的优化结构与先前研究结果吻合良好。本文计算了β-GaO 的弹性、电子和光学性质。
在本工作中使用 CASTEP 代码执行这些计算,在几何优化以及电子和弹性性质方面,采用广义梯度近似(GGA)中的 Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof(PBE)泛函处理交换关联相互作用。
