Full potential linear augmented plane wave calculations of Electronic and Optical properties in ZnO
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN PHYSICS - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 5
Abstract
In this work we present self-consistent calculations for the electronic and optical properties of Zinc oxide. A theoretical investigation of the electronic properties (band structure, density of charge and contour map) and optical properties (refractive index, absorption coefficient, dielectric constants and reflectivity) of Zinc oxide semiconductor ZnO. A full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FPLAPW) method was used within the density functional theory (DFT) along with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA96) exchange correlation potential. The results are compared with the experimental data available and some other theoretical work. We found that the GGA approximation yields only a small improvement to the band gap, however, if we allow for a rigid shift of the band structure, the so-called scissors operator, the optical properties are excellently reproduced.
