Physical Properties of LaxSc1-xSb Alloys: FPLMTO Approach | Chapter 7 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 6

 We premeditated the structural, photoelectric and optical properties of the LaxSc1-xSb having three of something alloy with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 by utilizing the first-principles full potential uninterrupted muffin-container orbital (FPLMTO) arrangement based on the generalized slope approximation (GGA96). The mesh constants, bulk modulus, photoelectric band structure, mass of states, and optical features such as dielectric function, refractive index, and extinction cooperative for (x=0.25, 0.5, and 0.75) are calculated and considered. Our results are in good agreement with feasible data in the research. It is observed that for x=0.75, the compound is from the direct band gap materials nearly zero middle from two points M and Γ direction. It has been erect that the La0.75Sc0.25Sb system is no doubt a semiconductor despite that two together binary (LaSb) and (ScSb) are metals in the rocksalt phase. The bulk of states calculations displays that the lower part of the conduction b and is completely occupied by Sc-3d and La-4f states and the above part of the broadcast band is occupied by the La-5d state while the lower constituent the valence band is ruled by the Sb-5p state.
