Abstract:In this study, effects of some impurity atoms included in IIIA group such as Al, Ga, and In on the optical properties of the -Si 3 N 4 structure have been discussed. The calculations were made using Density Functional Theory (DFT) in 0-15 eV range and local density approximation (LDA) as the exchange-correlation. Using the real and the imaginary parts of the complex dielectric function, the basic optical properties of -Si 3 N 4 such as dielectric coefficient, refractive index, absorption, reflection coeffici… Show more
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.
