The role of the isolated 6s states in BiVO{sub 4} on the electronic and atomic structures

Journal Article Ma, Jie ; Wang, Lin-Wang - Applied Physics Letters

BiVO{sub 4} is one of the most promising photoanodes for water-splitting applications. Similar to many d{sup 10} materials, where the full-shell d electrons are not directly involved in the bonding, the Bi 6s electrons form isolated low-energy bands in BiVO{sub 4}. By systematically altering the energy of the Bi 6s states, we find direct evidences that the isolated s states, through the s-p coupling, affect the BiVO{sub 4} properties, including valence band maximum position, charge density, and atomic structural distortion. We find that many good properties of BiVO{sub 4} for water splitting are related to the s-p coupling due tomore »« less

Band Edge Electronic Structure of BiVO4: Elucidating the Role of the Bi s and V d Orbitals

Journal Article Walsh, A ; Yan, Y ; Huda, M N ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

We report the first-principles electronic structure of BiVO{sub 4}, a promising photocatalyst for hydrogen generation. BiVO{sub 4} is found to be a direct band gap semiconductor, despite having band extrema away from the Brillouin zone center. Coupling between Bi 6s and O 2p forces an upward dispersion of the valence band at the zone boundary; however, a direct gap is maintained via coupling between V 3d, O 2p, and Bi 6p, which lowers the conduction band minimum. These interactions result in symmetric hole and electron masses. Implications for the design of ambipolar metal oxides are discussed.

Electronic Structure of Monoclinic BiVO4

Journal Article Cooper, Jason K ; Gul, Sheraz ; Toma, Francesca M ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

© 2014 American Chemical Society. A comprehensive approach to understanding the electronic structure of monoclinic scheelite bismuth vanadate (ms-BiVO 4 ), including both valence band (VB) and conduction band (CB) orbital character, is presented. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are directly compared to experimental data obtained via X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray emission spectroscopy, resonant inelastic X-ray spectroscopy (RIXS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to provide a complete portrait of the total and partial density of states (DOS) near the bandgap. DFT calculations are presented to confirm the VB maximum and CB minimum are comprised primarily of O 2p and Vmore »« less

Deactivation of the 6s and 6s' states of a xenon atom in collisions with helium, argon, and xenon atoms

Journal Article Semenova, Ludmila V ; Ustinovskii, N N ; Kholin, I V - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

A series of publications devoted to the study of collisional deactivation of Xe atoms in the 6s and 6s' states in high-pressure Ar - He and He - Xe mixtures with a low content of Xe is summarised. The processes of quenching of the *P{sub 1}, *P{sub 0}, *P{sub 1}, and *P{sub 2} levels are studied in two-particle Xe*+Ar(He) {yields} products+Ar(He), three-particle Xe*+ 2Ar(2He) {yields} ArXe*(HeXe*+Ar(He), and three-particle Xe*+Xe+Ar(He) {yields} Xe*{sub 2}+Ar(He) collisions. The gases were excited by a fast-electron beam. The measurements were performed by the method of absorption probing by analysing the time dependence of the concentration ofmore »« less

Role of initial-state electron correlation in one-photon double ionization of atoms and molecules

Journal Article Bello, Roger Y. ; Yip, Frank L. ; Rescigno, Thomas N. ; ... - Physical Review A

By decomposing the initial-state wave function into its unique natural orbital expansion, as defined in the 1950s by Löwdin and used in modern studies of entanglement, we analyze the role of electron correlation in the initial state of an atom or molecule in determining the angular distribution of one-photon double ionization. Final-state correlation of the two ejected electrons is treated completely in numerically accurate calculations as the initial states of He, H^-, and H₂ are built up from correlating configurations in strict order of decreasing natural orbital occupations. Additionally, in the two-electron atoms it is found that the initial-state correlationmore »« less
