摘要

In this report, we have studied Au-based chalcogenide materials Au2Y (Y = S, Se and Te) by using Density Functional theory approach. Structure and optoelectronic characteristics of these chalcogenide systems are calculated and discussed. The optimized structure of Au2Y displays real harmonic frequencies. Energy variation among HOMO and LUMO of Au2Y materials is observed as 2.434–2.632 eV, which indicates that these systems may be suitable for photovoltaic and optoelectronic devices. Ionization energy and electron affinity of these materials fluctuate between 5.926 to 6.453 eV and 3.492 to 3.821 eV correspondingly. Data reveals that energy variation among HOMO and LUMO, ionization potential, electron affinity, chemical hardness, electronegativity, electrophilicity index, dipole moment, harmonic frequency, as well as level of IR and Raman spectra vary as: Au2S > Au2Se > Au2Te, whereas softness, refractive index and dielectric constant follow inverse order. The calculated HOMO–LUMO and bond length of Au2Y agree with the reported experimental and theoretical data.
