RESUMENUsing the method in first-principles, we have investigated the structural properties of the compound Bi1-xMgxO with varying concentrations of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% x of bismuth in the phases in sodium chloride (NaCl), cesium chloride (CsCl), zinc-blende (ZnB), wurtzite (WZ) and nickel arsenidine (NiAs) (including spin). We have found a minimum in all the graphs of energy of cohesion versus the volume of the cell unit, which indicates that the material is stable or to the less metastable in these phases. The exchange and correlation effects are treated by using the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) as it is implemented in the Perdew - Burke- Ernzerhof- method (PBE). Ultrasoft pseudo-potential were employed. The calculations were performed using the pwscf code, distributed with the Quantum-ESPRESSO package.
RESULTADOS
ConclusionsCalculations of structural properties of Mg1-xBixO were carried out by means of DFT using the Wu-Cohen GGA approximation. It was determined that at concentrations of 25% there are no phase transitions, while for 100%, 75%, and of 50% x of Bi, if it exists, this can be very useful for future experimental studies of these materials. Furthermore, it was observed that decreasing the lattice constant makes the material become more rigid and hence increases the bulk modulus and the energy. .
