The results of calculations of the electron structure for Ag2S and Ag2Se crystals from first-principle in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) are presented in this work. The origin of the bands from [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] electron states of Ag, S and Se atoms are investigated. It was established that the orthorhombic Ag2Se crystal shows semiconductor properties in P2221 and P212121 space groups and semimetallic properties in Im-3m space groups with cubic crystal system. Monoclinic crystal type of Ag2S shows semiconductor properties in P21/c space group. However, semimetallic properties manifested itself in monoclinic Ag2S in P21 and cubic Ag2S structure in Im-3m phases.
In the presented work, a boron carbide sample with a purity of 99.9%, particle size [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]m and a density of [Formula: see text] was used. Boron carbide samples were irradiated with linear electrons in the energy range of 2.5 MeV at the doses of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at room temperature. XRD results show that only in the crystal structure of [Formula: see text] compound, among boron carbide samples irradiated in the dose rate from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] phase transition does not occur. The observed decrease in the lattice parameter values was explained as the strengthening of the bonds as a result of the recombination of defects in the crystal by influencing electron fluence. Dynamics of Raman spectra change and analytic analysis of intensive and duplex modes in various electron fluxes in ([Formula: see text]) CBC-structure were performed and the occurring disorder in Raman active has been identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
