摘要
A self-consistent charge density-functional based tight-binding (SCC-DFTB) parametrisation for structural optimization and electronic properties of zinc oxide is presented. Repulsive potentials are obtained from the ZnO wurzite geometry and a thin nanowire and applied to the bulk rock salt phase, a (0001) oriented slab and nanowires of different sizes. The parametrisation is shown to reproduce geometries in agreement with DFT calculations. A different set of parameters is generated for electronic calculations giving bank structures with a bulk bank gap of 3.3 eV and a strong split-off of the d-bands in agreement with experiments.(C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
