当硅基发光材料得到广泛应用时,为了给硅基材料的设计及应用提供理论依据,利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理,对Er掺杂在Si纳米晶粒不同位置的结构稳定性、电子与光学性质进行了研究。结果表明:Er掺杂在Si纳米晶粒的中心位置时,结构最稳定;Er掺杂后的Si纳米晶粒引入了杂质能级,最终导致禁带宽度变窄;掺杂后的Si纳米晶粒在低能区出现了一个新的吸收峰,当Er原子向表面位置移动时,新的吸收峰峰值逐渐减小,甚至消失。
When the silicon-based photoelectron material is widespread, the structural stability, electronic and optical properties of Er-doped silicon nanoparticles were investigated by first-principles based ondensity functional theory to provide the theory basis for the silicon-based material's design and application. The results show that the structure is more stable when the Er is in the central position. The doping of Er atom in silicon nanoparticle introduces the impurity levels, which result in the narrowing of band gap. A new absorption peak occurs in the low-energy region of Er-doped silicon nanoparticle, however, the value of the absorption peak decrease gradually, even disappear when the Er move to the surface.
