(författare) Preparation of graded silicalite-1 substrates for all-zeolite membranes with excellent CO2/H-2 separation performance 2015 Ingår i: Journal of Membrane Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 0376-7388 .- 1873-3123. ; 493, s. 206-211 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Graded silicalite-1 substrates with a high gas permeability and low surface roughness have been produced by pulsed current processing of a thin coating of a submicron silicalite-1 powder onto a powder body of coarser silicalite-1 crystals. Thin zeolite films have been hydrothermally grown onto the graded silicalite-1 support and the all-zeolite membranes display an excellent CO2/H-2 separation factor of 12 at 0 degrees C and a CO2 permeance of 21.3 x 10(-7) mol m(-2) s(-1) Pa-1 for an equimolar CO2/H-2 feed at 505 kPa and 101 kPa helium sweep gas. Thermal cracking estimates based on calculated surface energies and measured thermal expansion coefficients suggest that all-zeolite membranes with a minimal thermal expansion mismatch between the graded substrate and the zeolite film should remain crack-free during thermal cycling and the critical calcination step.

(författare) Oxygen vacancy migration in compressively strained SrTiO3 2013 Ingår i: Journal of Applied Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-8979 .- 1089-7550. ; 113:2 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The intrinsic properties of strontium titanate render it promising in applications such as gate dielectrics and capacitors. However, there is growing evidence that oxygen vacancies significantly impact upon its use, with the diffusion and deep donor level of the oxygen vacancy leading to electrical leakage. Where grown epitaxially on a lattice mismatched substrate, SrTiO 3 undergoes bi-axial strain, altering its crystal structure and electronic properties. In this paper, we present the results of first-principles simulations to evaluate the impact of strain in a (001) plane upon the migration of oxygen vacancies. We show that in the range of strains consistent with common substrate materials, diffusion energies in different directions are significantly affected, and for high values of strain may be altered by as much as a factor of two. The resulting diffusion anisotropy is expected to impact upon the rate at which oxygen vacancies are injected into the films under bias, a critical factor in the leakage and resistive switching seen in this material
3.	Al-Hamadany, R., et al. (författare) Impact of tensile strain on the oxygen vacancy migration in SrTiO3 : Density functional theory calculations 2013 Ingår i: Journal of Applied Physics. - : AIP Publishing. - 0021-8979 .- 1089-7550. ; 113:22 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Strontium titanate is a promising dielectric material for device applications including capacitors and gate dielectrics. However, oxygen vacancies, which are inevitable donor defects mobile under bias at room temperature, lead to undesirable leakage current in SrTiO3 thin films. Epitaxially grown SrTiO3 on lattice mismatched substrates leads to strained SrTiO3, inducing structural phase transitions from a cubosymmetric non-ferroelectric geometry to tetragonal and orthorhombic structures, depending upon the sign of the strain. In this study, density functional calculations have been performed to determine the impact of isotropic biaxial tensile strain in a (001) plane upon the phase of SrTiO3 and the activation energy for the migration of oxygen vacancies in such strained SrTiO3. The phase transition of the host material yields anisotropy in oxygen vacancy diffusion for diffusion within and between planes parallel to the strain. We found a general reduction in the barrier for diffusion within and normal to the plane of tensile strain. The inter-plane diffusion barrier reduces up to 25% at high values of strain. The variation in the barrier corresponding to in-plane diffusion is smaller in comparison to inter-plane diffusion. Finally, we reflect upon how the interplay between lattice strain with native defects plays a crucial role in the conduction mechanism of thin film, strained SrTiO3

(författare) Hyperfine interaction of H-divacancy in diamond 2020 Ingår i: Results in Physics. - : Elsevier. - 2211-3797. ; 16 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We present a first principles density functional theory study of microscopic properties of hydrogen defect centres in diamond. Several configurations, involving interstitial hydrogen impurities, have been considered either forming with other defects, such as hydrogen defects and vacancies. The atomic structures, and hyperfine parameters of hydrogen result compared with the experimental data on electrically active centres in synthetic diamond. Based on Local density functional theory our calculations are in excellent agreement with one interpretation of electron paramagnetic resonance of hydrogen in diamond.

(författare) Hyperfine interactions at nitrogen interstitial defects in diamond 2013 Ingår i: Journal of Physics. - : IOP Publishing. - 0953-8984 .- 1361-648X. ; 25:6 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Diamond has many extreme physical properties and it can be used in a wide range of applications. In particular it is a highly effective particle detection material, where radiation damage is an important consideration. The WAR9 and WAR10 are electron paramagnetic resonance centres seen in irradiated, nitrogen-containing diamond. These S = 1/2 defects have C2v and C1h symmetry, respectively, and the experimental spectra have been interpreted as arising from nitrogen split-interstitial centres. Based upon the experimental and theoretical understanding of interstitial nitrogen defect structures, the AIMPRO density functional code has been used to assess the assignments for the structures of WAR9 and WAR10. Although the calculated hyperfine interaction tensors are consistent with the measured values for WAR9, the thermal stability renders the assignment problematic. The model for the WAR10 centre yields principal directions of the hyperfine tensor at variance with observation. Alternative models for both centres are discussed in this paper, but no convincing structures have been found.

It is demonstrated that full Kohn–Sham density functional theory calculations can be performed in a time only marginally greater than tight binding implementations and a route is opened to achieve full and demonstrable convergence with respect to basis size. Topics covered will include both the kernel and functionality of the current code, a discussion of recent developments as well as future research directions and perspectives. Also, a broad discussion regarding the application of these methods is made that, it is hoped, will serve as a useful guide to application specialists.
7.	Camps, I., et al. (författare) Elastic and optical properties of Cu2ZnSn(SexS1-x)4 alloys: density functional calculations 2012 Ingår i: Semiconductor Science and Technology. - : IOP Publishing. - 0268-1242 .- 1361-6641. ; 27:11 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Cu2ZnSn(S1 − xSex)4 (CZT(S, Se)) is emerging as a very credible alternative to CuIn1 − xGaxSe2 (CIGS) as the absorber layer for thin film solar cells. The former compound has the important advantage of using abundant Zn and Sn instead of the expensive In and Ga. A better understanding of the properties of CZT(S, Se) is being sought through experimental and theoretical means. Thus far, however, very little is known about the fundamental properties of the CZT(S, Se) alloys. In this work, theoretical studies on the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of CZT(S, Se) alloys through first-principles calculations are reported. We use a density functional code (aimpro), along with the Padé parametrization for the local density approximation to the exchange correlation potential. For the alloying calculations we employed 64 atom supercells (approximately cubic) with a 2 × 2 × 2 k-point sampling set. These supercells possess a total of 32 chalcogen species and the CZTSexS1 − x alloys are described by using the ordered alloy approximation. Accordingly, to create a perfectly diluted alloying host, the species type of the 32 chalcogen sites is selected randomly with uniform probability x and 1 − x for Se and S, respectively. Properties of alloys (structural, elastic, electronic and optical) are obtained by averaging the results of ten supercell configurations generated for each composition. For each configuration, lattice vectors and atomic positions were allowed to relax (although enforcing the tetragonal lattice type) and the Murnaghan equation of state was fitted to the total energy data. The results presented here permit a better understanding of the properties of the CZT(S, Se) alloys which in turn result in the design of more efficient solar cells.

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 86:4 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract Silicon nanocrystals with diameters between 1 and 3 nm and surfaces passivated by chlorine or a mixture of chlorine and hydrogen were modeled using density functional theory, and their properties compared with those of fully hydrogenated nanocrystals. It is found that fully and partially chlorinated nanocrystals are stable, and have higher electron affinity, higher ionization energy, and lower optical absorption energy threshold. As the hydrogenated silicon nanocrystals, chlorinated silicon nanocrystals doped with phosphorus or boron require a high activation energy to transfer an electron or hole, respectively, to undoped silicon nanocrystals. The electronic levels of surface dangling bonds are similar for both types of surface passivation, although in the chlorinated silicon nanocrystals some fall outside the narrower energy gap.

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 84:12 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We use first-principles models to demonstrate how an organic oxidizing agent F(4)-TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyano-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroquinodimethane) modifies the electronic structure of silicon nanocrystals, suggesting it may enhance p-type carrier density and mobility. The proximity of the lowest unoccupied level of F(4)-TCNQ to the highest occupied level of the Si nanocrystals leads to the formation of an empty hybrid state overlapping both the nanocrystal and molecule, reducing the excitation energy to similar to 0.8-1 eV in vacuum. Hence, it is suggested that F(4)-TCNQ can serve both as a surface oxidant and as a mediator for hole hopping between adjacent nanocrystals in p-type doped silicon nanocrystal networks

B, Basic research. - : Wiley. - 0370-1972 .- 1521-3951. ; 250:9, s. 1799-1803 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The preferred location of boron in oxidized free-standing Si nanoparticles was investigated using a first-principles density functional approach. The nanoparticles were modeled by a silicon core about 1.5 nm in diameter surrounded by an outer shell of SiO2 with a thickness of about 0.5 nm, and considered negatively charged. The calculated formation energies indicate that B is equally stable in the Si core and in the SiO2 shell, showing preference for interface sites. This indicates that, in contrast with phosphorus, the ratio of the boron concentration in the silicon core to that of the silicon shell will not be improved over one upon thermal annealing.

In this work, we use first-principles models of 1.5 nm nanocrystals with hydride- and silanol-terminated surfaces to understand how oxidation influences the segregation and deactivation of dopants at the surface and the dopant binding energies. We show that the surface oxygen layer changes drastically the radial dependence of the dopant formation energy both for donors and for acceptors, but that, independently from the oxidation, dopant diffusion does not take place at operating conditions. Additionally, we show that the oxidation increases the electron binding energy of the P, As, and Sb and decreases the hole binding energy of B, Al, Ga, and In.

On both (100) and (111) reconstructed surfaces of Si, a semi-dissociated (SD) configuration of EC is stable and most favorable for Li insertion, lowering its barrier by up to 0.2 eV vs a clean surface. The less stable molecular adsorption has little effect on Li insertion and diffusion, while the surface ketone formed by dissociating the SD configuration at a cost of 0.6 eV has a strong detrimental effect on Li insertion, increasing its barrier by up to 0.4 eV.

However, we find that the formation energy of Bi is too high, and therefore its concentration is negligible. Moreover, we find that the lowest energy form of BiO2i is a shallow donor, and the deep donor form is high in energy. Lowest energy structure of the BiO2i defect.

It is found that P+ is more stable at the silicon core. This explains the experimental observation of segregation of phosphorus to the Si-rich regions in a material consisting of Si nanocrystals embedded in a SiO2 matrix [Perego et al., Nanotechnology 21, 025602 (2010)].

The nanocrystals considered were approximately spherical, with diameters between 1.5 and 3.0 nm.

It is shown that physisorbed F4-TCNQ molecules have the effect of oxidizing the nanocrystal, attracting the charge density towards the F 4-TCNQ-nanocrystal interface, and decreasing the excitation energy of the system. In periodic F4-TCNQ/nanocrystal superlattices, F 4-TCNQ is suggested to enhance exciton separation, and in the presence of free holes, to serve as a bridge for electron/hole transfer between adjacent nanocrystals.

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 86:17 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The trivacancy (V3) in silicon has been recently shown to be a bistable center in the neutral charge state, with a fourfold-coordinated configuration, V3[FFC], lower in energy than the (110) planar one [ V. P. Markevich et al. Phys. Rev. B 80 235207 (2009)]. Transformations of the V3 defect between different configurations, its diffusion, and disappearance upon isochronal and isothermal annealing of electron-irradiated Si:O crystals are reported from joint deep level transient spectroscopy measurements and first-principles density-functional calculations. Activation energies and respective mechanisms for V3 transformation from the (110) planar configuration to the fourfold-coordinated structure have been determined. The annealing studies demonstrate that V3 is mobile in Si at T>200 ∘C and in oxygen-rich material can be trapped by interstitial oxygen atoms so resulting in the appearance of V3O complexes. The calculations suggest that V3 motion takes place via consecutive FFC/planar transformation steps. The activation energy for the long-range diffusion of the V3 center has been derived and agrees with atomic motion barrier from the calculations

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 63:19, s. 195208- Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract First-principles methods are used to investigate the self-interstitial and its aggregates in diamond. The experimental assignment of the spin-1 R2 EPR center to the single interstitial has been questioned because of the small fine-structure term observed. We calculate the spin-spin interaction tensor for the three interstitial defects I1〈001〉, I2NN, and I3 and compare with the experimental D tensors. The results give support for the assignments of the single and di-interstitials to microscopic models and allow us to conclusively identify a recently observed EPR center, O3, with I3. This identification, in turn, suggests a low-energy structure for I4 and a generic model for an extended defect called the platelet. We also determine the optical properties of I1〈001〉 as well as its piezospectroscopic or stress tensor and find these to be in agreement with experiment. Several multi-interstitial defects are found to possess different structural forms which may coexist. We propose that a different form of the charged I2 defect gives rise to the 3H optical peak. Several structures of the platelet are considered, and we find that the lowest-energy model is consistent with microscopic and infrared studies.

By using a mathematical model, the mass transport through defects was accounted for to arrive at mass transport through zeolite pores. For the first time, we could thereby experimentally show that the mass transport of helium in zeolite pores is strongly controlled by the amount and location of hydrocarbons in the zeolite pores and varies several orders of magnitude. The mass transport of helium in ZSM-5 zeolite pores is first reduced gradually more than one order of magnitude when the loading of n-hexane is increased from 0 to 47% of saturation. As the loading of n-hexane is further increased to 54% of saturation, the mass transport of helium in the zeolite pores is further reduced abruptly by more than two orders of magnitude. This gradual decrease followed by an abrupt decrease of mass transport is caused by adsorption of n-hexane in the zeolite pores. In a similar yet different fashion, the mass transport of helium in the zeolite pores is reduced abruptly by almost two orders of magnitude when the loading of benzene is increased from 0 to 19% of saturation due to adsorption of benzene in the pore intersections. Effective medium approximation percolation models with parameters estimated using density functional theory employing the local density approximation, i.e. models with no adjustable parameters and the most sophisticated theory yet applied to this system, can adequately describe the experimental observations.

(författare) Low-energy termination of graphene edges via the formation of narrow nanotubes 2011 Ingår i: Physical Review Letters. - 0031-9007 .- 1079-7114. ; 107:6 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract We demonstrate that free graphene sheet edges can curl back on themselves, reconstructing as nanotubes. This results in lower formation energies than any other nonfunctionalized edge structure reported to date in the literature. We determine the critical tube size and formation barrier and compare with density functional simulations of other edge terminations including a new reconstructed Klein edge. Simulated high resolution electron microscopy images show why such rolled edges may be difficult to detect. Rolled zigzag edges serve as metallic conduction channels, separated from the neighboring bulk graphene by a chain of insulating sp3-carbon atoms, and introduce van Hove singularities into the graphene density of states.

Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. - 1098-0121 .- 1550-235X. ; 86:4 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The properties of epitaxial graphene on SiC substrates can be modified by intercalation of different atomic species. In this work, mechanisms of hydrogen intercalation into the graphene-SiC(0001) interface, and properties of hydrogen and fluorine intercalated structures have been studied with the use of density functional theory. Our calculations show that the intercalation of hydrogen and fluorine into the interface is energetically favorable. Energy barriers for diffusion of atomic and molecular hydrogen through the interface graphene layer with no defects and graphene layers containing Stone-Wales defect or two- and four-vacancy clusters have been calculated. It is argued that diffusion of hydrogen towards the SiC surface occurs through the hollow defects in the interface graphene layer. It is further shown that hydrogen easily migrates between the graphene layer and the SiC substrate and passivates the surface Si bonds, thus causing the graphene layer decoupling. According to the band structure calculations the graphene layer decoupled from the SiC(0001) surface by hydrogen intercalation is undoped, while that obtained by the fluorine intercalation is p-type doped.

Markevich et al., J. Appl. Phys. 109 (2011) 083705]. A hole trap with 0.19 eV activation energy for hole emission to the valence band (Eh) has been assigned to an acceptor level of the Sn-V complex. In the present work electrically active defects introduced into Ge:Sn+P crystals by irradiation with 6 MeV electrons and subsequent isochronal annealing in the temperature range 50-300 oC have been studied by means of transient capacitance techniques and ab-initio density functional modeling. It is found that the Sn-V complex anneals out upon heat-treatments in the temperature range 50-100 oC. Its disappearance is accompanied by the formation of vacancy-phosphorus (VP) centers. The disappearance of the VP defect upon thermal annealing in irradiated Sn-doped Ge crystals is accompanied by the effective formation of a defect which gives rise to a hole trap with Eh = 0.21 eV and is more thermally stable than other secondary radiation-induced defects in Ge:P samples. This defect is identified as tin-vacancy-phosphorus (SnVP) complex. It is suggested that the effective interaction of the VP centers with tin atoms and high thermal stability of the SnVP complex can result in suppression of transient enhanced diffusion of phosphorus atoms in Ge.

The annealing studies have shown that the V2 and V3 defects are mobile in Si at T>200 °C and in oxygen-rich material are trapped by interstitial oxygen atoms so resulting in the appearance of V2O and V3O defects. The activation energies for diffusion of the V2 and V3 centers have been determined. Density functional modeling calculations have been carried out to investigate the migration and reorientation mechanisms of V3 in large silicon supercells. It is proposed that these comprise a sequence of transformations between V3(D3) and V3(C2v) configurations.

New experimental results on the introduction rates of the divacancy (V2) and trivacancy upon 4 MeV electron irradiation and on the transformation of V3 from the fourfold coordinated configuration to the (110) planar one upon minority carrier injection are reported.

The electronic structure of Sn-V is unraveled on the basis of hybrid states from a Sn atom and a divacancy. Unlike the case for Si, Sn-V in Ge is not a donor. A hole trap with 0.19 eV activation energy for hole emission to the valence band is assigned to an acceptor level of the Sn-V complex. The Sn-V complex anneals out upon heat-treatments in the temperature range 50–100 °C. Its disappearance is accompanied by the formation of phosphorus-vacancy centers.

We find that although the clean surface does not lead to charge transfer between the defect and the surface, there is a splitting of the empty excited state, the final state in optical absorption, arising from a strong hybridization of the surface and defect bands. This leads to a broadening of the 1.945-eV transition of the NV- defect. OH- and F-terminated surfaces have no surface states in the band gap and again charge transfer between the defect and surface does not occur. The splitting of the e levels responsible for the optical transitions for OH or F termination is similar to that found in periodic boundary condition simulations for bulk diamond where the defects are separated by 1 nm, and thus the calculations show that hydroxylated or fluorinated surfaces give favorable optical properties.

A supercell of 348 atoms in total were employed and the computer code Aimpro with the LDA functional PW92 was used to relax the different structures in the study. The results clearly show that MOF-73 is a suitable candidate for hydrogen storage since the coordination/binding energy for a hydrogen molecule to the MOF structure falls in the range of a few tens of kJmol-1.

C, Current topics in solid state physics. - : Wiley. - 1610-1634 .- 1610-1642. ; 9:10-11, s. 2000-2004 Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract The formation processes and properties of multivacancy defects in Si have been recently the subject of several re-search studies. Here we report on density functional calculations concerning the stability and electrical activity of the tetravacancy, pentavacancy and hexavacancy complexes in Si. Formation energy calculations indicate that Four-Fold Coordinated (FFC) V4 and V5 are more stable than Part-of-Hexagonal-Ring (PHR) or planar structures by at least 1.2 eV and 0.6 eV, respectively. This relative stability order between configurations remains unchanged for different charged states from double plus to double minus. Calculations of the electrical activity predict deep acceptor levels for the FFC defects. Accordingly, electron traps related to (–/0) and (=/–) levels near Ec – 0.5 eV were found for V4 and V5, whereas levels for V6 were estimated at Ec – 0.35 eV. No donor levels were found for these defects
