Optimization of photoelectric properties of InGaN nanowires by alkali metal adsorption
We conduct the study on InGaN nanowires adsorbed by alkali metal atoms (Li, Na, K, Cs) using first principles. All InGaN nanowires adsorbed by alkali metals are stable. Energy band of InGaN nanowires can be effectively adjusted by alkali metal adsorption. Bandgap and work function are reduced to different degrees. The electron emission performance of InGaN nanowires has been improved. Among them, Cs atom has the most obvious effect on improvement of electronic properties. InGaN nanowires exhibit extremely low reflectance. In addition, the reduction of bandgap results in a cut-off wavelength redshift. Its absorption coefficient increases in near-infrared region. The overall absorption rate of InGaN nanowires has been improved. Through the analysis of electrical and optical properties, we can find that Cs atom has the most significant effect on improving photoemission performance of InGaN nanowires. This study will provide a theoretical basis for the preparation of InGaN nanowires adsorbed by alkali metals.
