Study of Structural, Electronic and Optical Properties of Lanthanum Doped Perovskite PZT Using Density Functional Theory

Abstract:

Ferroelectric materials of lanthanum (La) doped PbZrTiO3 (PLZT) were investigated via first principles study. The structural, electronic and optical properties of PLZT in tetragonal structure (P4mm space group) were performed in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA) methods. The calculated results of structural properties of PLZT were seen to be approximately close to the experimental data. The results of the electronic part were covered with the calculation of energy band gap and density of states (DOS). The highest valence band (VB) which lies at the Fermi level (EF) was dominated by the O 2p at F point. The conduction band (CB) of PLZT occurred at G point, which was primarily dominated by Ti 3d mixed at Pb and La p-state. Whereas the optical part was covered with the refractive index and absorption. The refractive index, n and the extinction coefficient, k were calculated with respect to photon energy. Those results obtained could be such a good prediction in studying parameters and properties of new materials.
