چکیده

خواص الکترونی و نوری ZnSe شبه‌گرافن از طریق یک مطالعة جامع با استفاده از محاسبات بس‌ذره‌ای مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. با استفاده از روش GW، ساختار نوار الکترونی و پهنای نواری ZnSe شبه‌گرافن با در نظر گرفتن اثرات بس‌ذره‌ای تعیین گردید. علاوه بر این، خواص نوری ZnSe شبه‌گرافن با استفاده از روش GW+BSE بررسی شد و طیف جذب نوری و خصوصیات برانگیختگی مانند انرژی بستگی اکسیتون‌ها و پهنای نواری نوری تعیین شد. محاسبات نشان می‌دهد که ساختار نوار ZnSe شبه‌گرافن، مستقیم و در حدود 869/4 الکترون‌ولت است و دارای اکسیتون‌هایی با بستگی نسبتاً قوی بین 2/0 تا 8/0 الکترون‌ولت می‌باشد. عمدة توزیع اکسیتون‌های مقید ناشی از گزارهای Zn(3p)+Zn(3d)+Se(4p) ®Zn(4s)+Se(4s) در نقطة گاما منطقة بریلوئن قرار دارد. تعیین دقیق ساختار نواری، پهنای نوار و خواص برانگیختگی درک بهتر رفتار مواد و کمک به‌طراحی و بهینه‌سازی دستگاه‌های مبتنی بر ZnSe شبه‌گرافن را ممکن می‌سازد.

چکیده [English]

Electronic and optical properties of graphene-like ZnSe were investigated through a comprehensive study using ab initio calculations. By employing the GW method, we accurately determine the electronic band structure and bandgap of graphene-like ZnSe, considering the many-body effects. Additionally, we examine the optical properties of graphene-like ZnSe using the GW+BSE method, calculate the optical absorption spectrum, and determine excitonic properties such as exciton binding energy and optical bandgap. The GW calculations reveal that the ZnSe bandgap is direct with an energy gap of approximately 4.869 eV and exhibits excitons with relatively strong binding energies ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 eV. The majority of bound exciton distributions arise from transitions between Zn(3p)+Zn(3d)+Se(4p) ®Zn(4s)+Se(4s)  at the gamma point of the Brillouin zone. The precise determination of the band structure, bandgap, and excitonic properties enables a better understanding of the material's behavior and aids in the design and optimization of future ZnSe graphene-based devices.
