Influence of Surface Bond on Electronic Structure of Si (111) Quantum Surface
We regard the nanocrystalline silicon films as an ideal one-dimensional quantum limiting surface structure
and study the band structure and density of states of the different thickness silicon (111) quantum surface by the first-principles calculation. As the change of the thickness of the quantum surface well passivated by SiH bond
the band gap mainly follow the quantum confinement effect. When the silicon (111) quantum surface contains SiN bond
the simulated results show that the band gap is mainly determined by the quantum confinement effect in a certain range of thickness
but beyond the thickness
the band gap is determined by both the quantum confinement effect and bond structure. While maintaining a constant thickness
the greater doping concentration of the quantum surface
the more obvious the band gap narrowing effect. Similarly
the simulated result of silicon (111) quantum surface which contain SiYb has the same effect. It is worth noting that almost all of the simulated results show that the band structures of the quantum surface show quasi-direct band gap characteristics.
