Surface effects on the piezoelectricity of ZnO nanowires
We utilize classical molecular dynamics to study surface effects on the piezoelectric properties of ZnO nanowires as calculated under uniaxial loading. An important point to our work is that we have utilized two types of surface treatments, those of charge compensation and surface passivation, to eliminate the polarization divergence that otherwise occurs due to the polar (0001) surfaces of ZnO...
متن کاملFirst-principles study of high-field piezoelectricity in tetragonal PbTiO3
We calculate from first principles the nonlinear piezoelectric response of ferroelectric PbTiO3 for the case of a polarization-enhancing electric field applied along the tetragonal axis. We focus mainly on the case of fixed in-plane lattice constants, corresponding to epitaxially constrained thin films. We find that the dependence of the c /a ratio on electric field is almost linear in the rang...
متن کاملFirst-Principles Study of Magnetic Properties of 3dTransition Metals Doped in ZnO Nanowires
The defect formation energies of transition metals (Cr, Fe, and Ni) doped in the pseudo-H passivated ZnO nanowires and bulk are systematically investigated using first-principles methods. The general chemical trends of the nanowires are similar to those of the bulk. We also show that the formation energy increases as the diameter of the nanowire decreases, indicating that the doping of magnetic...
متن کاملStructural and electronic properties of ZnO/GaN heterostructured nanowires from first-principles study.
ZnO/GaN alloys have exceptional photocatalytic applications owing to their suitable band gaps corresponding to the range of visible light wavelength and thus have attracted extensive attention over the past few years. In this study, the structural stabilities and electronic properties of core/shell, biaxial, and super-lattice ZnO/GaN heterostructured nanowires have been investigated by means of...
متن کاملInteraction of nucleobases with silicon nanowires: A first-principles study
The interaction between the nucleic acid bases – adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and uracil (U) – and a hydrogen-passivated silicon nanowire (SiNW) is investigated within the framework of density functional theory. The calculated binding energy of the nucleic acid bases with the SiNW shows the order: G > A C T U. This suggests that the interaction strength of a hydrogen pass...
