Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of materials analysis technology, and in particular to a wavefunction model method for electronic structure analysis. Background Technology
[0002] Materials science is the foundation and precursor of modern science and technology. The level of understanding of material structure and material composition directly determines the research and development capability of new materials.
[0003] The microstructure of materials includes atomic-level structures such as crystal structure, local structure, and defect structure, as well as electronic structure. Among these, electronic structure fundamentally determines the intrinsic properties of materials. Currently, experimental testing techniques for the atomic-level structure of materials are very mature, but experimental testing of electronic structure remains in the exploratory stage. Although electronic structure can be obtained through first-theory calculations, theoretical calculations often rely on numerous assumptions and approximations, leading to discrepancies between the calculated results and actual conditions, making it difficult to guide the design of high-performance materials.
[0004] Therefore, obtaining the experimental electronic structure of materials is a key scientific problem. Solving this problem will help my country's experimental research on material structure to leap from the atomic level to the electronic level, and accelerate the research and development of a number of key functional materials for national defense and civilian use.
[0005] Figure 1 This is an experimental structure diagram using existing X-ray technology. X-rays are incident on the crystal under test and diffract after passing through the crystal. By obtaining high-precision, high-resolution X-ray single-crystal diffraction data (position and intensity information) and refining the electronic structure, it is feasible to deduce the experimental electronic structure of the material. Finally, the experimental electronic structure of the material under static and service conditions can be obtained. The electronic structure can be described using electron density, density matrix, or electron wave function. Summary of the Invention

[0053] Finally, the objective function is calculated using the least squares method. L(P) n Find the minimum value of ) and obtain the optimal model parameters P. n .
[0054] After refinement, the molecular orbital coefficients P of the electron wavefunction of LiB3O5 under three conditions: no light illumination, 360nm laser irradiation, and 1064nm laser irradiation were obtained. n ;
[0055] Step A: Select parameter value P from Table 1 1 and P 2 Substitute into the difference function Calculate L(P) n ), respectively obtain L(P 1 ) and L(P 2 Meanwhile, by substituting P into... Calculate Ψ, through E(P) n )=<ψ|H|ψ〉Calculate the energy E(P) n ),pass And λ calculation

[0058]
[0059] Specific calculation process: Table 1 selects the index parameter K(h, k, l) as (0, 0, -13) under no-light conditions for P. 1 Taking the value as an example, select P from Table 1. 1 =0.3345; Substitute into E(P) n In the formula )=〈ψ|H|ψ>, see Table 2: Calculate E(P) 1 ) = -455.959888; then through the difference function And λ = 0.1, calculate Will Substitution The formula calculates L(P) in Table 2. 1 The value is -454.850107; similarly, L(P) is obtained. 1 Value = -454.822211.
[0060] According to the preset P in Table 1 1 、P 2 Value verification L(P) 2 )-L(P 1 The formula -454.822211 - (-454.850107) = 0.027896 is greater than the preset precision value of 0.001, so step B is required: verifying the calculated P. 3 , And by repeating step B above, we obtain P. 4 until L(P) n )-L(P n-1 When the value is less than the preset precision value, the preset precision value in this experiment is 0.001.
[0061] Illustrate the least squares method with examples In this embodiment, A is the step size factor. In this embodiment, the calculation process is set to A = 0.0002, with P in the absence of light. 3 For example, in calculation:
[0062] First, extract L(P) from Table 2. 2 ), L(P 1 ) value, L(P 2 )-L(P 1 The result is 0.027896, which is significantly greater than the preset precision value of 0.001. Therefore, it is necessary to continue using the square method formula to calculate P. 3 The value will be further refined by The formula yields p 3 =p 1 -(0.0002*(0.4968-0.3345) / 0.027896*(-454.850107)=0.8637; For the 360nm and 1064nm cases, the L(P) values in Table 2 are also extracted.1 ), L(P 2 The value is used to perform calculations, and the final result is P in Table 3. 3 Value, F k 理论 (P 3 ).
[0063] Similarly: according to the formula (A is the step size factor, set to 0.02) Calculate P 4 (i.e., n=4), similarly calculate L(P) 4 ), and so on, repeating n times, until L(P n )-L(P n-1 If P is less than 0.001, then P 最终值 As shown in Table 3, the final P 最终值 The value is used to complete the refinement process.
[0064] Table 3 is... Final P 3 、P 最终值 and L(P 2 )-L(P 1 A list of ).
[0065]
[0066]
[0067] Finally, the refined P... 最终值 Substitution The final experimental electronic wavefunction Ψ, i.e., the refined electronic structure function, is obtained, as follows: Figure 3 (a) Figure 3 (b) and Figure 3 (c) shows the electron wave function diagrams of the refined LiB3O5 under three conditions: no light, 360nm laser irradiation, and 1064nm laser irradiation.
[0068] pass Figure 3 (a) Figure 3 (b) and Figure 3 As can be seen from (c) and Table 4, the topological atomic charge, atomic volume and dipole moment of the [B3O5]- group change significantly under laser irradiation. Moreover, the electronic structure of the BO3 structural unit has a larger response amplitude to the external field than that of BO4. This experimentally confirms that the B–O group [B3O5]- is the nonlinear optical functional unit of LBO, and explains the origin of the nonlinear optical effect of LiB3O5 crystal.
[0069] Table 4 shows the charge distribution of Li, B, and O at different positions in LiB3O5.
[0070]
