摘要：
维维安石（Fe₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O）是一种自然存在的层状材料，具有显著的环境和技术相关性。本研究对它的二维（2D）对应物维维安烯进行了全面的理论研究，重点在于其结构、电子和光学性质。利用密度泛函理论（DFT）计算和从头分子动力学（AIMD）模拟，我们评估了其热力学稳定性、能带结构、态密度和光学响应。我们的结果证实，维维安烯保留了块体维维安石的主要结构特征，同时在室温下表现出增强的热力学稳定性。电子结构分析显示，维维安烯具有3.03 eV的间接带隙，略低于块体维维安石观测到的3.21 eV，偏离了二维材料中预期的量子限制趋势。投影态密度（PDOS）分析表明，Fe d轨道主要贡献于价带和导带。光学计算显示，维维安烯的光学带隙（3.6 eV）高于块体维维安石（3.2 eV），在紫外区域有显著的吸收。折射率和反射率分析表明，大部分入射光被吸收而不是反射，增强了其在光电应用中的潜力。这些发现为维维安烯的基本性质提供了有价值的见解，并突显了其在传感、光电和能源相关技术中的应用潜力。
英文摘要：
Vivianite (Fe$_3$(PO$_4$)$_2$8H$_2$O) is a naturally occurring layered material with significant environmental and technological relevance. This work presents a comprehensive theoretical investigation of its two-dimensional (2D) counterpart, Vivianene, focusing on its structural, electronic, and optical properties. Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, we evaluate its thermodynamic stability, band structure, density of states, and optical response. Our results confirm that Vivianene retains the main structural features of bulk Vivianite while exhibiting enhanced thermodynamic stability at room temperature. The electronic structure analysis reveals an indirect bandgap of 3.03 eV for Vivianene, which is slightly lower than the 3.21 eV observed for bulk Vivianite, deviating from the expected quantum confinement trend in 2D materials. The projected density of states (PDOS) analysis indicates that Fe d orbitals predominantly contribute to the valence and conduction bands. Optical calculations demonstrate that Vivianene exhibits a higher optical band gap (3.6 eV) than bulk Vivianite (3.2 eV), with significant absorption in the ultraviolet region. The refractive index and reflectivity analyses suggest that most of the incident light is absorbed rather than reflected, reinforcing its potential for optoelectronic applications. These findings provide valuable insights into the fundamental properties of Vivianene and highlight its potential for advanced applications in sensing, optoelectronics, and energy-related technologies.
