The band structures (BS), density of states (DOS), charge transfer and difference charge density are presented. We discussed the interaction between the ions (Li, K, Mg, Ca) and H2 Meanwhile, the binding energy indicates that ionization can increase the adsorption energy of H2 in CNT.展开更多

Their crystallographic structures, compositions, surface electronic structures are investigated. The a-axis lattice constant of Zn0.95Cd0.05 O is 3.20. Moreover, the epitaxial relationship shows a 30°-in-plane rotation of the film with respect to the c-sapphire substrate. When the substrate temperatures arrives at 500℃, the in situ reflection high-energy electron diffraction(RHEED) pattern of Zn Cd O film shows sharp streaky pattern. The maximum Cd content of Zn Cd O film grown at low substrate temperatures increases up to about 29.6 at.%, which is close to that of the ceramic target. In situ ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS) measurements demonstrate that Zn Cd O film exhibits intense peaks at 4.7 e V and 10.7 e V below the Fermi level, which are assigned to the O 2p and Zn 3p states. Energetic distance between Zn 3d and Cd 4d is 0.60 e V. Above 470 nm, the thin film shows excellent optical transmission.展开更多
