Ab Initio Calculations On Structural And Electronic Transport Properties Of Six-Atom Gan Clusters
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MODERN PHYSICS B(2017)
摘要
The structural and electronic transport properties of GaxNy (x + y = 6) clusters are investigated in the framework of density functional theory (DFT). To get their most stable P.. 0 structures, a strategy of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is adopted. It is found that the most stable cluster's binding energy and HOMO-LUMO gap energy decrease with Ga atom's number in cluster increasing. The electronic transport properties of the clusters connected with two Al(100) electrodes are obtained by a method of combining nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) with DFT. Equilibrium conductance of all six-atom GaN cluster is low (less than 0.65 G(0)), and Ga2N4 has the highest one (0.635 G(0)). Significant negative differential resistance (NDR) phenomenon is observed in configurations with cluster Ga2N4, Ga3N3 and Ga5N1, and these three clusters have almost the same current value in voltage region from 0.8 V to 1.3 V.
