Abstract

The electronic and optical properties ofMn-doped3C-SiCfilms are investigated by the first-principles calculation. The structure ofMn-doped3C-SiCis modeled by substitutingMnatom forCorSiatom in3C-SiClattice. The results suggest thatMn-CandMn-Sibonds can exist in theMn-doped3C-SiC.Mnlocation in3C-SiClattice significantly affects the crystal structure ofMn-doped3C-SiC, and theMnatom substitution forCorSisites of3C-SiClattice can induce to the difference of indirect or direct band structure. The calculated results also show that some new impurity energy levels occur in the band gap ofMn-doped3C-SiC, and the imaginary part of dielectric function ofMn-doped3C-SiCshifts toward the infrared region in comparison with the primitive3C-SiC. The adsorption spectrum ofMn-doping3C-SiC, due to the transition of electrons betweenMn3d states, presents some new prominent peaks at low frequency. These results can further confirmMn-doped3C-SiCto act as a potential material for optical applications.
