硅纳米晶聚集过程中的电子结构和光学性质

Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Silicon Nanocrystals along their Aggregation Stages

C. Bulutay

摘要:

硅纳米晶的结构控制是一个重要的技术问题。典型地,在较小的集群的不受控制的聚集下,会出现尺寸和形状的分布。本计算研究的目的是调查整个聚集阶段的电子态及其光学性质的演变。为了现实地处理这样的系统,需要一个原子电子结构工具,它可以容纳大约数万个电子,并嵌入形状非常不规则的晶格原子。为了这个目的,一个计算效率高的赝势为基础的电子结构工具的开发,可以处理现实的纳米结构的基础上的扩展的波函数的聚集体的大块布洛赫带的组成半导体。用这个工具,电子态的演变,以及偏振相关的吸收光谱与振子强度在其聚集阶段的跟踪。低能级的聚合态发展出与孤立态对应的束缚态和反束缚态。这些信息可能会成为这些纳米晶体的受控聚集的成熟工具。

英文摘要:

The structural control of silicon nanocrystals is an important technological problem. Typically a distribution of nanocrystal sizes and shapes emerges under the uncontrolled aggregation of smaller clusters. The aim of this computational study is to investigate the evolution of the nanocrystal electronic states and their optical properties throughout their aggregation stages. To realistically tackle such systems, an atomistic electronic structure tool is required that can accommodate about tens of thousand nanocrystal and embedding lattice atoms with very irregular shapes. For this purpose, a computationally-efficient pseudopotential-based electronic structure tool is developed that can handle realistic nanostructures based on the expansion of the wavefunction of the aggregate in terms of bulk Bloch bands of the constituent semiconductors. With this tool, the evolution of the electronic states as well as the polarization-dependent absorption spectra correlated with the oscillator strengths over their aggregation stages are traced. The low-lying aggregate nanocrystal states develop binding and anti-binding counterparts of the isolated states. Such information may become instrumental with the maturity of the controlled aggregation of these nanocrystals.
