摘要: 利用基于密度泛函理论的赝势平面波方法,计算了AgCl在高压下的结构行为和电子性质,交换关联函数采用广义梯度近似(GGA)。通过比较焓随压力的变化关系,从理论上确定了AgCl从岩盐矿结构相变到单斜结构的转变压强。预测了这两种结构在布里渊区中的价带顶和导带底的位置,结果表明:盐岩矿和单斜结构的AgCl都是具有间接带隙的半导体。还计算了这两种结构的带隙和电子态密度随压强的变化情况,发现在这两种结构相变之前都不会发生金属化转变。电荷转移研究发现,随着压强的增加,Ag原子和Cl原子之间成键的共价性增强,离子性减弱。Abstract: The structural behavior and the electronic properties of AgCl under pressure are extensively studied by using the pseudopotenial plane-wave method and generalized gradient approximation within density functional theory. The theoretical transition pressure corresponding to the phase transition from rocksalt to monoclinic structure is obtained from the enthalpy calculations. The location of the valence band maximum and the conduction band minimum in the entire Brillouin zone are predicted for both structures. The rocksalt and monoclinic phase of AgCl are both semiconductors with indirect gap and the variations of the band gaps with pressure indicate that they do not become metallization before structural instability. Furthermore, the bonding between Ag and Cl atoms becomes less ionic or more covalent under compression.
