摘要
The electronic and optical properties of Al/Ni-doped bulk phase ZnO are elaborately investigated by the first-principles study. The Zn15-x NixAlO shows excellent tuning of electronic and optical properties. The band gaps of ZnO, Zn15AlO, Zn14NiAlO, Zn13Ni2AlO are 3.37, 3.15, 1.84, and 0.94 eV. All doped ZnO systems show different degrees of decline. What's more, the absorption peaks of doped ZnO become weak, and the optical absorption edge of Zn15-x NixAlO (x > 0) exhibits a clear red-shift to a lower energy region. As for the energy loss function, the peaks are much lower after the doping, indicating that the doping of impurity atoms reduces the excitation energy of the plasma. The calculated theoretical investigation will provide a basic foundation for the future experimental investigation on the Zn15-x NixAlO, being a potential candidate for the future generation optical devices.
