Electronic and optical properties of silicon based porous sheets
Literature Information
Si based sheets have attracted tremendous attention due to their compatibility with the well-developed Si-based semiconductor industry. On the basis of state-of-the-art theoretical calculations, we systematically study the stability, electronic and optical properties of Si based porous sheets including g-Si4N3, g-Si3N4, g-Si3N3 and g-Si3P3. We find that the g-Si3N3 and g-Si3P3 sheets are thermally stable, while the g-Si4N3 and g-Si3N4 are unstable. Different from the silicene-like sheets of SiN and Si3N which are nonplanar and metallic, both the porous g-Si3N3 and g-Si3P3 sheets are planar and nonmetallic, and the former is an indirect band gap semiconductor with a band gap of 3.50 eV, while the latter is a direct band gap semiconductor with a gap of 1.93 eV. Analysis of the optical absorption spectrum reveals that the g-Si3P3 sheet may have applications in solar absorbers owing to its narrow direct band gap and wide range optical absorption in the visible light spectrum.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
