孤立石墨烯的理论电子能量损失谱

Theoretical electron energy loss spectroscopy of isolated graphene

Duncan J. Mowbray

摘要:

对电子结构的透彻理解是使用石墨烯设计纳米电子学,化学/生物传感器,电催化剂和纳米等离子体的必要的第一步。因此,描述石墨烯集体激发的理论光谱技术具有根本的重要性。从密度泛函理论(DFT)出发,采用频率倒易空间中的线性响应时间相关的无规相位近似(TDDFT-RPA)来描述孤立石墨烯的损失函数-Im{1/ε(q,ω)}。为了确保去除层之间的任何虚假相互作用,采用库仑核的径向截止和直接在TDDFT-RPA水平的额外真空。发现这两种方法的组合提供了一个正确的描述孤立的石墨烯的电子能量损失谱,在一个显着降低计算成本相比,标准方法。

英文摘要:

A thorough understanding of the electronic structure is a necessary first step for the design of nanoelectronics, chemical/bio-sensors, electrocatalysts, and nanoplasmonics using graphene. As such, theoretical spectroscopic techniques to describe collective excitations of graphene are of fundamental importance. Starting from density functional theory (DFT), linear response time dependent DFT in frequency-reciprocal space within the random phase approximation (TDDFT-RPA) is used to describe the loss function -Im{1/ε(q,ω)} for isolated graphene. To ensure any spurious interactions between layers are removed, both a radial cutoff of the Coulomb kernel, and extra vacuum directly at the TDDFT-RPA level are employed. A combination of both methods is found to provide a correct description of the electron energy loss spectra of isolated graphene, at a significant reduction in computational cost compared to standard methods.
