以强σ键连接的sp2和sp3杂化碳饱和簇模型,即金刚石和石墨两相和团簇模型为研究对象,通过分子结构、电荷分布、能带结构、电子态密度和分子轨道的第一性原理计算和分析,研究了类金刚石薄膜中sp2-sp3轨道杂化的空间结构稳定性的成键特性等.结果表明,成键过程中由于微扰作用破坏了原子内部"吸引"与"排斥"的平衡关系,使电子云重新分布,而键能大小和电子云的重叠密切相关,因而两相共存对电荷分布和结构均有影响.能带结构分析发现sp2杂化C原子将π键引入,产生π和π*能带使带隙变窄,说明类金刚石薄膜的半导体本质.电子态密度计算结果中费米能级附近出现杂质峰,说明存在中间杂化和/或π态和σ态的转化.
Saturated cluster models of the diamond phase and graphite phase coexistence,i.e,sp2 hybridized carbons and sp3 hybridized carbons connected by strong σ bonds,were calculated and analyzed by first principles.Comparing the molecular structures,molecular orbits,band structures,and density of states,we analyzed the effect of sp2-sp3 hybridized bonding in diamond-like carbon films on space structures and bonding properties.It is found that the balance between "repulsive" and "attractive" in atoms were destroyed by σ bonds,and charges redistributing arose bond energy change,as a result,charges and space structures were effected by coexistence of the diamond and graphite phases.Band structures indicated that diamond-like carbon films were semiconductor because sp2 hybridize importedπbonds and produced π,π* bands,resulting in the aecrease of band gaps.Density of states studied in this work discovered impurity near Fermi energy,indicating midway hybridized and/or transitions between π states and σ states.
