However, theoretical understanding of the mechanism through first principal modeling is still lacking. In this study, electronic-, optical-, and temperature-dependent carrier mobility for perovskite ligand passivated PbS QD array is calculated by using the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) combined with the nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) technique and a molecular dynamics (MD)-Landauer approach. It is found that formamidinium (FA)-liganded QDs have higher mobility and enhanced optical absorption comparing to that of Cl-liganded QDs. The difference could be understood through the intermediate band featured electronic structure.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87700700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The degradation of the antibiotic metronidazole (MNZ) from aqueous solutions was examined by the photocatalytic process of those synthesized complexes. Among the four complexes, ZnO/AC was confirmed to be a capable prospective both as an efficient photocatalyst and as an adsorbent. The optimal photodegradation condition obtained was 0.9 g/L and pH = 9. After 300 minutes, 99% of MNZ was removed by ZnO/AC. Finally, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy was conducted to identify the degradation intermediates.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90574658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sabbir Hasan Sohag, Unesco Chakma, A. Kumer, M.

First and foremost, the geometry optimization was performed by density functional theory (DFT) of the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) with Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof (PBE)-ballpark figured as the successful candidate for computational screening containing heavy metal complexes. The structural geometry parameters were determined along with the electronic band structure, density of state (DOS), partial density of state (PDOS), Mulliken charge population, elastic constant, and optical characteristics. When the Ge (ZnAg2GeS4) atom has been swapped out by a Sn (ZnAg2SnS4) atom, the changes in band gap is noticeable, which rises from 0.94 eV to 1.15 eV with the same geometry and surface area. But, after 7% Fe doping, it has decreased to 0.32 eV. The PDOS demonstrates that the production of hydrogen for photocatalytic influence on wastewater treatment is dependent on the Fe atom's ability to induce and boost the electron density in both the conduction band and the valence band. The study of the elastic constant and mechanical constant revealed that these crystals are extremely stable in any environment. The dielectric constant and optical absorptions illustrate the superior evidence for photocatalytic activity. To sum up, it could be said that after doping of Fe, the elastic constant and mechanical constant show all universal anisotropic index crystals and ZnAg2Sn0.93Fe0.07S4 can absorb a variety of UV radiation, which raises the possibility that it could function as a photocatalyst.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":"113 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86226489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The photothermal diffusion (PTD) processes in a chemical action are utilized in the framework of the governing equations. When elastic, thermal, and plasma waves interact, the nonlocal continuum theory is used to create this model. For the main formulations to get the analytical solutions of the thermal stress, displacement, carrier density, and temperature during the nanoscale thermo-photo-electric medium, the Laplace transformation approach in one dimension (1D) of a thin circular plate is utilized. To create the physical fields, mechanical forces and thermal loads are applied to the semiconductor’s free surface. To acquire the full solutions of the research areas in the time-space domains, the inverse of the Laplace transform is applied with several numerical approximation techniques. Under the impact of nonlocal factors, the principal physical fields are visually depicted and theoretically explained.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78584456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the value of the band gap, the exchange correlation potential is also approximated with Hubbard correction (GGA + U). The equilibrium state properties such as lattice parameters, unit cell volume, bulk modulus, and its derivative were calculated and are in good agreement with the existing data. The mechanical properties such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, and elastic anisotropy were determined from the obtained elastic constants. The ratio of bulk modulus to shear modulus confirms that the orthorhombic phase of \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 C\u0000 a\u0000 H\u0000 f\u0000 S\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 3\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 is a ductile material.

We investigate the quasi-particle and excitonic properties of type II o-BC2N using many-body perturbation theory (MBPT). The state-of-the-art GW and BSE methods were used to determine the accurate band gap and excited-state characteristics of this material. We simulate the convergence test and structural optimization in DFT, which is the starting point for the GW calculation. We also compute the convergence test of the parameters in GW and BSE. As a result, the bandgap of our system is found to be 2.31 eV and 1.95 eV using the GW approximation and DFT-PBE, respectively. Since the valence and conduction band edges are located at different Brillouin zones, we decide that o-BC2N is an indirect bandgap semiconductor. In addition, by applying the scissor operator, we corrected the quasi-particle bandgap, which shows almost the same result as the GW approximation. Furthermore, using the BSE algorithm, we calculate the optical bandgap of type II o-BC2N to be 4.0 eV with the excitonic effect and 4.4 eV without the excitonic effect. The highest peaks of the imaginary dielectric function with the excitonic effect shift to a lower energy level at 11 eV than without the excitonic effect at 13.5 eV. The electron charge distribution is computed by fixing the hole position. Finally, we suggest that type II o-BC2N is promising for the application of optoelectronic semiconductors.","PeriodicalId":7382,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Condensed Matter Physics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82186747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
