摘要
We perform the first-principles calculations within the framework of density functional theory to determine the elec- tronic structure and optical properties of MgxZnl-xS bulk crystal. The results indicate that the electronic structure and optical properties of MgxZnl_xS bulk crystal are sensitive to the Mg impurity composition. In particular, the MgxZnl-xS bulk crystal displays a direct band structure and the band gap increases from 2.05 eV to 2.91 eV with Mg dopant compo- sition value x increasing from 0 to 0.024. The S 3p electrons dominate the top of valence band, while the Zn 4s electrons and Zn 3p electrons occupy the bottom of conduction band in MgxZnl_xS bulk crystal. Moreover, the dielectric constant decreases and the optical absorption peak obviously has a blue shift. The calculated results provide important theoretical guidance for the applications of MgxZn1-xS bulk crystal in optical detectors.
