Results show the local density approximation and local density approximation＋U calculations are in good qualitative agreement with each other. After doping, impurity states appear near the Fermi level in both ZnO and ZnS cases. When ZnO is doped, the impurity states are delocalized in the whole conduction band. On the contrary, when ZnS is doped, though the p state of Ga is also delocalized, the s state is localized near the Fermi level. Partial charge density distributions of the frontier orbital show the same information. After an exchange of the crystal structures of ZnO and ZnS, results remain unchanged. The localized Ga s state accounts for the bad electrical properties of Ga-doped ZnS.展开更多

On the basis of first-principles calculation, here, we report a new series of 1D ultrathin molybdenum sulfides nanowires, including Mo2S6、Mo3S6 and Mo6S10 nanowires. Our results demonstrate that these ultrathin nanowires are both thermal and lattices dynamically stable, confirmed with the calculated phonon spectrum and Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamic simulation at the temperature up to 600 K. The calculated elastic constant is 21.33, 103.22, and 163.00 eV/■ for Mo2S6, Mo3S6, and Mo6S10 nanowires, respectively. Mo2S6 and Mo3S6 nanowires are semiconductors with band gap of 1.55 and 0.46 eV, while Mo6S10 nanowires is metal, implying their potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. In particular, ultrathin molybdenum sulfides nanowires can be used as catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction. The calculated Gibbs free energy change for hydrogen evolution is about -0.05 eV for Mo2S6 nanowire, comparable with those of Pt and H-MoS2. The prediction of these 1D molybdenum sulfides nanowires may enrich the 1D family molybdenum sulfides and make a supplement to understand the high performance of hydrogen evolution reaction in transition-metal dichalcogenides.展开更多
