Re: [QE-users] Regarding bands

[Giovanni Cantele]

Dipole correction might certainly being a point, also given that you are 
considering a polar system. 

So you could try to share in/out files including dipole correction.

Moreover, you should also try to understand whether or not the metallicity you 
find is a spurious effect or not. 
Try, for example, to make a plot of the averaged potential along direction 
orthogonal to the heterostructure, to see if it looks reasonable. 
Also you could make charge transfer plots, again to guess if they provide at 
least reasonable results or unphysical patterns.
Another point: are you SURE that you have correctly matched the Si surface to 
the ZnO? Indeed, you said that after removing the ZnO, you find a gap. Could it 
be that metallicity is induced by “surface” (in this case “interface”) states 
of Si(100)? Depending on its reconstruction, Si(100) can show surface states 
with different or no gap between occupied and unoccupied states, as far as I 
remember.

Re: [QE-users] Regarding bands

[Giuseppe Mattioli]

Dear Satya

Like Giovanni, I also don't know why you don't obtain what you expect.  
But I want to offer my own penny to the discussion.


1) Due to the well known effect of delocalization errors in GGA-DFT,  
the band gap of Si is generally reduced to around 0.6 eV. The  
reduction involves both the lowering of the conduction band potential  
and the raising of the valence band potential. In the case of ZnO you  
have a strongly curved conduction band around the minimum at Gamma,  
which is not affected by delocalization errors, and a very problematic  
valence band, in which the interaction between the narrow O 2p and Zn  
3d contributions may raise the valence band maximum by more than 2 eV,  
shrinking the band gap to less than 1 eV in bulk ZnO.


2) First of all, therefore, I would check *in the same supercell* if  
isolated Si and isolated ZnO slabs envisage a metallic character of  
the junction due to the unsymmetrical band gap underestimation of the  
two parts.


3) The most stable ZnO surface is (10-10), not 0001 (or its 000-1  
counterpart having reverse polarity). The polar surfaces of ZnO are  
tricky to simulate as slabs due to the strong polarity of the Zn-O  
bond. In the past, I obtained some weird layered hexagonal structure  
similar to BN! I suppose that the choice of (0001) is purposeful. If  
it is not, try to reconsider your choice.


4) Such a strongly polar surface in contact with a non-polar Si  
surface may induce a huge interfacial charge transfer, even enhanced  
by delocalization errors mentioned above, or can lead to significant  
shifts of band edges, yielding a metallic character of the  
semiconductor junction.

Quoting Satyasiban Dash ph19d005 :


Yes . Thank you for the clarification. I am trying to match (0001) surface.
But I have observed upon relaxing ZnO loosing its symmetry and this may be
due to the polar surfaces but experimentally we do observe a band gap. I
have also tried dipole correction but results are same. But if I remove Si
its giving a gap. Is there anyway to reproduce it with Si (001).

Re: [QE-users] Regarding bands

Dear Satya,

it is not that easy (at least for me) to provide an answer to your question 
using the data you have provided. Maybe the output files (of scf and bands) and 
a plot of your band structure might help to infer if there is any issue in your 
calculation.

However, before wondering whether you get a metal whereas experiments measure a 
gap, you should also check that you are simulating a system that is as close as 
possible to the experimental one (in terms of thickness and/or surface 
orientation of both ZnO and Si, and so on). As far as the atomic positions are 
concerned, they look reasonable. It seems (if I’m not wrong) that you are 
trying to match a Si(100) surface with a ZnO(0001) surface, aren’t you? Is this 
what you expect?
