First-Principles Study on Structural, Electronic and Optical Properties of G2ZT Crystal under High Pressure
-
摘要: 基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理研究了高压下富氮含能材料(双3, 4, 5-三氨基-1, 2, 4-三唑)-5, 5′-偶氮四唑(G2ZT)的几何结构、电子结构和光学性质。结果表明,在考虑范德瓦尔斯色散修正和密度泛函色散修正的情况下, 分子晶体结构数据与实验结果的相对误差均在3%以内。Hirshfeld表面分析结果表明,随着压强增大,分子间氢键的相互作用减弱。G2ZT晶体在零压下的能带带隙为2.03 eV,是一种p型半导体。随着压强增大,带隙变窄,吸收系数可达到3.0×106 cm−1。研究结果为进一步分析高压下G2ZT晶体的特征提供了理论参考。Abstract: Geometric structure, electronic structure and optical properties of nitrogen-rich energetic materials (bis 3, 4, 5-triamino-1, 2, 4-triazole)-5, 5′-azotetrazole (G2ZT) at high pressures are investigated using first-principles based on density functional theory. The calculated results obtained by using vdW-DF2 and PBE-D2 methods show that the crystal structure data fit well with the experimental results, and the error rates are all within 3%. Hirshfeld surface analyses indicate that interactions of the inter-molecular hydrogen bond are weaken with the increasing pressure. G2ZT crystal possesses a band gap of 2.03 eV at zero pressure, and it is a p-type semiconductor. As the pressure increases, the band gap becomes narrower and the absorption coefficient can approach 3.0×106 cm−1. These results provide a theoretical reference for further analysis of G2ZT crystal’s characteristics under high pressure.
