The changes of the absorption were studied for the wavelength 265 nm near the energy band gap edge at acoustical power density varying within 4-6 W/cm 2. The observed absorption changes indicate that the external optical electric field strengths and acoustical power densities may be efficient parameters for the characterization of photo-optical and acousto-optical treatment of the samples. From the X-ray diffraction data we have optimized the atomic positions assuming that force on the atoms is around 1 mRy/au. These are used to calculate the electronic structure and the chemical bonding for the amino acid L-alanine single crystals. The calculated electronic band structure and densities of states confirms the experimental results that this compound possesses a relatively large energy band gap. The upper valence band has its maximum at the Z point of the Brillouin zone while the conduction band minimum is located at Γ point in the zone center, resulting in an indirect energy band gap. The electronic energy gap is equal to 4.19 eV within a framework of the used local density approximation and 4.54 eV with the Engel-Vosko generalized gradient approximation as the exchange correlation potential. This is in an agreement with our experimentally measured energy band gap ~4.67 eV. The existence of O-p character in the upper valence band has a significant consequence for the optical band gap. From our calculated electron charge density distribution, we obtain a space electron charge density distribution in the average unit cell of the crystal. The chemical bonding features of L-alanine amino acid were analyzed. 2014-01-15T03:13:30Z 2014-01-15T03:13:30Z 2012-10 Article Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Electronics, vol. 23(10), 2012, pages 1922-1931 0957-4522 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10854-012-0890-7 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/31216 en Springer Science+Business Media, LLC |
