Yoğunluk Fonksiyoneli Teorisi ile LiAlSi’un Basınç Altında Elektronik ve Titreşim Özellikleri

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 A. 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.
