In this study, we utilize density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the structural and electronic properties of YAg‐B2(CsCl) and YCu‐B2(CsCl) intermetallic compounds (IMCs). Our enthalpy calculations confirm that these compounds crystallize in a CsCl‐type structure, highlighting their stability in this phase. The lattice constants provide insights into the atomic arrangement and bonding strength within the crystal, influencing the material’s density and overall structural integrity. The bulk modulus reflects the material’s resistance to uniform compression, indicative of its incompressibility, and rigidity, which are essential for applications requiring high strength and durability. By analyzing the density of states (DOSs) and electronic band structure (BS), we further discuss the electronic stability and metallic nature of these materials. Additionally, the electronic properties derived from the DOS and BS analysis suggest good electrical conductivity, making these materials suitable for use in electronic and optoelectronic devices. The calculated equilibrium structural parameters, including bulk modulus, lattice constants, and their derivatives, are found to be in good agreement with available experimental and theoretical data. Understanding these properties is crucial for optimizing the performance of YAg and YCu intermetallics in practical applications, from structural components to advanced electronic systems.

Electronic Study of Rare Earth Intermetallics in CsCl Phase

CsCl相稀土金属间化合物的电子研究

To reduce the recombination of carriers, the number of layers were increased from 5‐layer to 9‐layer solar cells while keeping other effective parameters intact. In this work, the efficiency of the cell is increased from 25.93% to 28%, which means a relative increase of 8.2%. The change in impurity density and the length of the layers are employed to achieve maximum efficiency. Increasing the number of layers of the proposed structure does not necessarily lead to an efficiency increment. In this paper, we design a new multijunction solar cell with 9‐layer structure that has higher efficiency as compared to the 5‐layer counterpart. The performance of cadmium sulfide‐cadmium telluride (CdS/CdTe) multijunction solar cells is numerically investigated. Because of the flexibility of the proposed model and feasible construction of the structure, the cell characteristics obtained by this program can be examined by experiment. This structure, accompanied by multilayers of n‐CdTe and p‐CdTe (n‐SnO 2 /n‐CdS/p‐CdTe/n‐CdTe/p‐CdTe/n‐CdTe/p‐CdTe/p + ‐Cu 2 O) are investigated with different thicknesses, doping densities and number of layers.

Inspired by the fabrication of zigzag MoSe 2 nanoribbons and MoS 2 nanoribbons with well‐defined atomically precise edges, we study the stability, electronic structures, and magnetic properties of zigzag VS 2 nanoribbons (ZNRs) with different edge structures and widths. The calculated edge energies for all studied VS 2 nanoribbons are less than 0.9 eV/Å, lower than that of fabricated armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons, indicating the easy formation of ZNRs. The results show N ‐ZNRs terminated with S and V atoms ( N ‐SV‐ZNRs) is a ferrimagnetic metal. The magnetic moments are mainly contributed by d orbitals of V atoms, and the V2 atom exhibits a spin that is antiparallel to the other V atoms due to the increase of through–space interaction. With hydrogen passivation, the magnetic moment of V2 atom in N ‐SV‐ZNRs couples ferromagnetically with other V atoms and N ‐SV‐ZNRs becomes half metallic. The N ‐ZNRs terminated with V atom ( N ‐VV‐ZNRs) is found to be a magnetic metal, and the magnetic moments of V atoms around edges are very sensitive to ribbon width. Furthermore, N ‐ZNRs with S atom terminations ( N ‐SS‐ZNRs) is a ferromagnetic quasi‐semiconductor. Only select bands intersect with the Fermi level near the Γ point, and the magnetic moments of all V atoms couple ferromagnetically. These findings are essential for applications of VS 2 nanoribbons–based low‐dimensional spintronic devices.

The structural, dynamical, and thermodynamic properties of zinc‐blende (ZB) mercury selenide (HgSe) and cadmium selenide (CdSe) were systematically explored using an ab initio pseudopotential approach based on the density functional theory (DFT). The optimized lattice constants are in excellent agreement with the available experimental and theoretical results. The electronic properties show semiconducting behavior with a direct bandgap of 0 and 0.36 eV for HgSe and CdSe, respectively. Also, using the linear response approach, the detailed vibration properties of HgSe and CdSe are obtained. According to the calculated phonon dispersion, it is concluded that HgSe and CdSe are dynamically stable in the ground state; several peculiarities in the dispersion curves of these materials are generally similar, but the zone‐boundary frequencies and zone‐center optical frequencies of HgSe are lower than those of CdSe. The phonon frequencies at the high‐symmetry points Γ , X , and L for HgSe and CdSe are in good agreement with the other theoretical reported. On the other hand, the dielectric properties are investigated and discussed. The results show that the dielectric tensor is diagonal, and the Born effective charge tensor is also isotropic. Finally, based on the lattice dynamical properties, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of both compounds, such as Helmholtz free energy F , internal energy E , entropy S , and specific heat C v . The results show that HgSe and CdSe exhibit similar but slightly different behaviors in terms of its thermodynamic properties, which is expected because the atoms Hg and Cd are in the same group and exhibit a different atom mass. Most of the results presented in this study are novel and should provide a useful reference for future studies.

Ab Initio Calculations of Structural, Lattice Dynamical, and Thermodynamic Properties of Zinc‐Blende HgSe and CdSe

从头计算法研究闪锌矿HgSe和CdSe的结构、晶格动力学和热力学性质

In this paper, the structural, electronic, phonon, and optical properties of lanthanum (La)‐doped yttrium hydrogen selenide (YHSe), along with the effects of pressure variations on its optical properties, are investigated using the density functional theory method. Both the La‐doped and YHSe systems are dynamically stable, as indicated by phonon calculations showing no imaginary frequencies in the Brillouin zone (BZ). The influence of pressure on optical properties is examined, revealing that increased pressure enhances these properties, particularly by improving the absorption coefficient in the ultraviolet (UV) range. Moreover, the bandgap energy of both La‐doped YHSe and YHSe compounds is explored. Increasing La concentration reduces the bandgap and enhances the density of states (DOS) at Fermi energy, inducing metallic characteristics in YHSe. Furthermore, the optical properties are examined at various La concentrations, most of which exhibit a nonlinear relationship as the La concentration increases. Doping under extreme conditions significantly enhances the optical properties of La‐doped YHSe, particularly in the UV‐light wavelength range. Specifically, the absorption coefficient reaches its maximum value in the energy range of 6.678 −13.023 eV within the UV region for all concentrations, indicating strong absorption in this range. This suggests the material’s effectiveness in absorbing electromagnetic radiation, particularly in the UV range, making it a promising candidate for photochromic applications. A thorough exploration of the optical properties under doping reveals prominent peaks, particularly in response to the UV spectrum, with a slight shift toward higher energies beyond the UV range. This suggests that the material under study holds promise as a candidate for sustained photochromic performance over time.

Doping and Pressure Effects on Yttrium Hydrogen Selenide

掺杂与压力对硒化氢化钇的影响

The electronic, phonon, and superconducting properties of hexagonal yttrium hydrogen selenide (YHSe) are studied using density functional theory (DFT) methods. The DFT analysis revealed that the energy bandgap and density of states near the Fermi energy (ɛF) decrease with increasing pressure. Additionally, the influence of pressure on the vibrational properties of YHSe is also examined. The findings of the vibrational properties indicate a stiffening of lattice dynamics under pressure and the identification of negative Gruneisen parameters at certain high symmetry sites. This enhances and deepens the understanding of the vibrational characteristics of YHSe under extreme pressure conditions. Finally, the electron–phonon coupling (EPC) parameter (λ) is examined under different pressures. The examination of EPCs across varying pressures showed a significant increase from 0.826 (0 GPa) to 2.6287 (200 GPa), where an increase in this EPC is found to increase the superconducting critical temperature (Tc). Furthermore, the nonmonotonic relationship between the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) and external pressure (P) in the YHSe compound is observed. Initially, Tc decreases with increasing pressure and then begins to rise again, reaching its peak value at extreme pressure. These findings provide valuable insights into the pressure-dependent properties of YHSe and have important implications for the field of superconductivity in condensed matter physics.

We present an investigation into the magnetism exhibited by AMY 2 compounds characterized by a chalcopyrite structure, where A can be Cu or Ag, M can be Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, or Fe, and Y can be either S or Se. By substituting M atoms at the Ga position of AGaY 2 compounds, the magnetic properties were calculated using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method under the generalized gradient approximation and local spin density approximation with the WIEN2K code. The obtained spin-polarized results confirmed the presence of ferromagnetic and half-metallic (HM) properties in AMY 2 compounds (A = Cu, Ag; M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn; Y = S, Se), wherein the HM property is preserved through p-d hybridization of p states of Y (S, Se) atoms with d (t 2g ) states of M (M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn) atoms, and minimal contribution of −s states of A (A = Cu, Ag) atoms. The total magnetic moments for AMY 2 compounds were calculated as 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, and 4.00 µ B /f.u. for M = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, respectively. For AFeY 2 compounds (A = Cu, Ag; Y = S, Se), electronic band structures for both up spin and down spin states were identical, suggesting antiferromagnetic behavior at equilibrium, while AScY 2 compounds (A = Cu, Ag; Y = S, Se) exhibited nonmagnetic properties at equilibrium. Overall, the accurate HM properties of AMY 2 materials suggest promising prospects for their utilization in spintronics and magnetic storage device applications.

This paper aims to discover a novel composite material that has great potential for manufacturing high-performance supercapacitors suitable for diverse applications, such as electric vehicles, portable electronics, and stationary energy storage systems. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) doped by different concentrations up to 5 wt.% of nanosized Fe2O3 have been prepared (ZIF-8/Fe2O3). The effect of doping ratio 1, 3, and 5 wt.% on the structural and electrochemical properties of ZIF-8/Fe2O3 has been investigated. The structural characterization has been carried out using TGA, BET, XRD, and FTIR. The XRD analysis revealed that the crystalline size of our sample increased by approximately 16% as a result of doping ZIF-8 with 5 wt.% of Fe2O3. The structural analysis of the doped samples revealed that the material exhibited enhanced thermal stability and porosity, with an increase of approximately 105 m2/g. The introduction of doped nanometal oxides improved the capacitance value of ZIF-8 by significantly increasing its surface area. Additionally, the electron transport efficiency within ZIF-8/5 wt.% Fe2O3/electrode is increased. The Nyquist plot decreases as the doping of Fe2O3 increases. This indicates a decrease in the charge transfer resistance at the electrode–electrolyte interface, which is desired in applications such as batteries, fuel cells, or electrochemical sensors where faster electron transfer is needed for improved performance.

The Optimal Doping Ratio of Fe2O3 for Enhancing the Electrochemical Stability of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 for Energy Storage Devices

Fe2O3最佳掺杂比例对增强沸石咪唑骨架-8在储能器件中电化学稳定性的研究

The effect of size on the optical properties of gold nanomaterials has been studied using the theoretical Drude–Sommerfield model. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function of bulk as a function of wavelength due to free electron contribution and the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function of nanogold materials as a function of wavelength due to free electron and bond electron contribution are calculated. The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function of bulk as a function of wavelength due to the free electron contribution graph and The real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function of nanogold materials as a function of wavelength due to free electron and bond electron contributions are plotted. As we observed from the graphs, the real dielectric functions of both bulk and nanogold materials are inversely proportional to wavelength. The imaginary part of the dielectric function of bulk gold materials is independent of wavelength. At high wavelengths, the size of the gold nanomaterial is highly influenced by both real and imagined dielectric functions at high waves. As the wavelength increases, the effect of the size on the dielectric function also increases. The size-dependent dielectric function of nanomaterials is highly influenced by their optical properties and electrical structure.

The article presents the results of studies of the chemical composition, crystal structure, lattice parameters, microstructure, the valence state of the europium ion (at 300 K), electrical resistivity, and differential thermopower (6–400 K) of samples in the Eu(Cu1 − xAgx)2Si2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) substitutional solid solutions. A transition of the europium ion from the valence-stable state of Eu2+ in EuAg2Si2 to the state of intermediate (homogeneous) valence (IV) of the europium ion in EuCu2Si2 with an effective valence ϑeff = 2.41 (300 K) has been initiated by a successive replacement of silver atoms by copper atoms. With appropriate sample compositions, the transition passes through a Kondo-type state. The research subject is the patterns of transformations (when the composition of the sample changes), the electronic state, and, accordingly, the electronic transport properties. The simultaneous coexistence of europium ions in different electronic states is assumed. The substitutional solid solution Eu(Cu1 − xAgx)2Si2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) exhibits properties related to the competition between the state of the Kondo system, intermediate valence (IV), and magnetic ordering.
