Electrophobic interaction induced impurity clustering in metals

Journal Article Zhou, Hong-Bo ; Wang, Jin-Long ; Jiang, W. ; ... - Acta Materialia

We introduce the concept of electrophobic interaction, analogous to hydrophobic interaction, for describing the behavior of impurity atoms in a metal, a 'solvent of electrons'. We demonstrate that there exists a form of electrophobic interaction between impurities with closed electron shell structure, which governs their dissolution behavior in a metal. Using He, Be and Ar as examples, we predict by first-principles calculations that the electrophobic interaction drives He, Be or Ar to form a close-packed cluster with a clustering energy that follows a universal power-law scaling with the number of atoms (N) dissolved in a free electron gas, as wellmore »« less

Impurity Clustering and Ferromagnetic Interactions that are not Carrier-Induced in Dilute Magnetic Semiconductors: The Case of Cu2O:Co

Journal Article Raebiger, H ; Lany, S ; Zunger, A - Physical Review Letters

Current models for ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors, such as 'p-d exchange' or 'double-exchange', rely on the presence of partially filled gap states. We point out a new mechanism, not requiring partially filled states, in which ferromagnetic coupling arises from the occupation of previously unoccupied levels when two transition metal impurities form a close pair. We find from first-principles calculations that this mechanism explains strong ferromagnetic coupling between Co impurities in Cu{sub 2}O, and at the same time gives rise to Co clustering.

Impurity clustering and impurity-induced bands in PbTe-, SnTe-, and GeTe-based bulk thermoelectrics.

Journal Article Hoang, K ; Mahanti, S D ; Kanatzidis, M G ; ... - Phys. Rev. B

Complex multicomponent systems based on PbTe, SnTe, and GeTe are of great interest for infrared devices and high-temperature thermoelectric applications. A deeper understanding of the atomic and electronic structure of these materials is crucial for explaining, predicting, and optimizing their properties, and to suggest materials for better performance. In this work, we present our first-principles studies of the energy bands associated with various monovalent (Na, K, and Ag) and trivalent (Sb and Bi) impurities and impurity clusters in PbTe, SnTe, and GeTe using supercell models. We find that monovalent and trivalent impurity atoms tend to come close to one anothermore »« less
