采用密度泛函数理论框架下的第一性原理研究了Ti3SnC2的电子结构,利用GGA-PW91基组对Ti3SnC2晶体结构进行了优化,并计算了Ti3SnC2的能带结构、总态密度和各原子的分态密度.对能带和总态密度的计算结果表明,Ti3SnC2在费米能级处电子态密度较高,材料表现出较强的金属性,同时材料的导电性为各向异性.Ti3SnC2各原子的分态密度图的计算结果表明,其导电性主要由Ti2的3d电子决定,Ti1的3d态电子、Sn的5p态电子和C的2p态电子也有少量贡献.决定材料电学性质的主要是Ti的3d、Sn的5p和C的2p态电子的p-d电子轨道杂化,而p-d电子轨道杂化成键则使材料具有比较稳定的结构.
The electronic structure and properties of layered ceramic Ti3 SnC4 are calculated by first-principles bases on the frame of density function theory(DFT). Ti3 SnC4 crystal structure is optimized and Ti3 SnC2 band struc- ture, the total density of states, sub-atomic density of states are calculated using GGA-pw91. The calculated band structure shows that Ti3 SnC4 appears strong metallic and with high density of state at the Fermi level. An analysis shows that the electrical conductivity is dominated by a Tiz 3d state but it with less contribution from Til 3d, Sn 5p, and C 2p states. The major factors governing the electronic properities are p-d hybridization from Ti 3d, Sn 5p, and C 2p states, furthermore, p-d bonding stabilizes the structure.
