We have estimated the effect of pressure on structural and elastic properties of SrO semiconducting material using an effective inter-ionic potential method, which contain the long-range Coulomb and van der Waals (vdW) interactions and the short-range repulsive interaction of up to second- neighbor ions within the Hafemeister and Flygare approach. To calculate the vdW coefficients Slater-Kirkwood variational method was used. Our calculated phase transition pressure (Pt) is 38.5 GPa. We have also focused on the elastic properties of SrO compound within the effective inter-ionic potential approach and the second order elastic constants (SOEC) were predicted in both the phases. The present calculations have provided a good agreement with the available data reported on this compound.","PeriodicalId":18837,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS: NCPCM2020","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77632677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have studied the role of van-der-Waals (vdW) interaction in such layered materials. It is seen that the incorporation of vdW interaction within density functional theory approach gives more accurate electronic and magnetic properties in 2D vdW ferromagnet. In search of new vdW ferromagnet, we have studied Co3GeTe2 and hybrid layered structure of Fe3GeTe2/Co3GeTe2. Significant changes in magnetic and electronic properties are observed on Co insertion in Fe3GeTe2. Spin polarization of 53% is calculated for Fe3GeTe2, while for Co3GeTe2 and hybrid structure negative spin polarization is obtained. We have observed the reversal of spin polarization due to Co and the amplitude of spin polarization also depends on Co concentration in the layered Fe3GeTe2. Therefore, the intrinsic magnetic properties of 2D vdW ferromagnet can be tuned by making hybrid structure which is very useful in designing new 2D intrinsic magnetic material.","PeriodicalId":18837,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS: NCPCM2020","volume":"100 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76990908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Silver thin films with a thickness of ∼21 nm were deposited on corning glass substrate using radio frequency magnetron sputtering system. The deposited silver films were subsequently annealed to grow silver nanoparticles in the temperature range of 200℃ to 500℃ with the difference of 100℃ under a vacuum (Pressure ∼10−6 mbar) for fixed duration of 60 minutes. Composition and surface morphology of silver nanoparticles on the glass substrate were determined using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The results obtained from this study showed that by annealing at higher temperature, the flat silver thin films changed into rough silver thin films and further increment in temperature changed the silver thin films into silver nanoparticles. To study optical properties of Ag nanoparticles, the absorbance and diffuse reflectance spectra were also measured using UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":18837,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS: NCPCM2020","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77084850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we observed an unusual prolonged decay of direct band-gap exciton (A exciton) with fluence, which interprets the presence of trap state in the system.
