Abstract

Li containing materials have an important place in the development of technology. Therefore, knowledge of the structural and dynamic properties of electronic Li-containing crystals is important. The structural, electronic and lattice dynamic properties of LiAlSi crystal was performed by an ab-initio pseudopotential method and a linear response with the General Gradient Approximation. LiAlSi crystal is in Zincblende structure and the space group is . The lattice parameter of LiAlSi crystal was 6.0306 Å. The computed lattice parameter, bulk modulus and first-order pressure derivative of the bulk modulus agree well with the experimental and other theoretical calculations. The electronic band structure and phonon dispersion curve were analyzed by using the Quantum Espresso program. Phonon dispersion curve and phonon density of states were calculated by a density functional perturbation theory. Since the phonon frequency values are positive values, the LiAlSi crystal is stable. Then, electronic band structure and phonon distribution curve under P= 8.892 GPa pressure were examined. LiAlSi crystal showed semiconductor properties at P = 0.0 GPa pressure, whereas P = 8.892 GPa pressure showed semi-metal properties. At this pressure, the phonon frequency values are also positive. In addition, transverse, longitudinal acoustic and transverse, longitudinal optical mode values at high symmetry points Γ, X and L under two different pressures (P = 0.0 GPa and P = 8.892 GPa) are listed. It is thought that the results of this study will contribute to the literature.

Abstract

Li içerikli malzemeler teknolojini gelişmesinde önemli yere sahiptirler. Bu nedenle Li içerikli kristallerin yapısali elektronik ve dinamik özelliklerinin bilinmesi önemlidir. LiAlSi kristalinin yapısal, elektronik ve örgü dinamik özellikleri, ab-initio pseudopotential metodu ve Genel Gradient Yaklaşımı ile doğrusal bir tepki ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. LiAlSi kristali Zincblende yapıda olup uzay grubu 'dir. LiAlSi kristalinin örgü parametresi 6.0306 Å olarak bulunmuştur. Hesaplanan örgü parametresi, yığın modulü ve yığın modülünün birinci dereceden basınç türevi, deneysel ve diğer teorik hesaplamalar ile uyumludur. Elektronik band yapısı ve fonon dağılım eğrisi, Quantum Espresso programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Fonon dağılım eğrisi ve fonon durumların yoğunluğu, yoğunluk fonksiyonel pertürbasyon teorisi ile hesaplanmıştır. Fonon frekans değerleri pozitif olduğundan LiAlSi kristali kararlı yapıdadır. Daha sonra P= 8.892 GPa basınç altında elektronik band yapısı ve fonon dağılım eğrisi incelenmiştir. P=0.0 GPa basınçta LiAlSi kristali yarıiletken özelliği gösterirken P= 8.892 GPa basınç uygulandığında iletken özelliği gösterdiği ortaya konmuştur. Bu basınç değerinde de fonon frekans değerleri pozitiftir. Ayrıca iki farklı basınç altında (P=0.0 GPa ve P=8.892 GPa) Γ, X ve L yüksek simetri noktalarındaki enine, boyuna akustik ve enine, boyuna optik mod değerleri listelenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının literatüre katkı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
