Structural and electronic properties of oligomers of fluoromethylfurans (FMFs), OC4H4-CHnF3-n with n = 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been studied using ZINDO/AM1 and B3LYP/6-31G(d) basis set. Preliminary study using AM1 and ab initio (HF) 6-31G(d) with medium basis set was carried out on di-, tri- and tetramer FMFs in order to investigate the stability of configuration of the polymer chains and conformation analysis of the dimers. There is noticeable effect of substituents on the geometries of FMFs as compared to polyfuran, polymethylfuran and chloromethylfuran (CMF) analogues [11]as well as improved characteristics as conducting polymers compared polymethylfurans and CMFs. The most stable conformation is the anti-planar conformation except in fluoromethylfuran in which antigauche conformation is most stable. The energy band gaps, electronic spectroscopy and electronic dipole moment vectors of the compounds are presented. Generally FMFs present lower energy band gaps, longer wavelength and higher electric dipole moments and are therefore more suitable as monomer for conducting polymer especially trifluoromethylfuran.

ABSTRACTUsing a first-principles method, we study the effect of pressure on the band gap energies of wurtzite InxGa1-xN, and InxAl1-xN. The fundamental band gap energies are direct and increase rapidly with pressure. The pressure coefficients vary in the range of 19.8–24.8 meV/GPa for InxGa1-xN, and 16.7–20.7 meV/GPa for InxAl1-xN; they depend on alloy composition with a strong deviation from linearity. The band gap bowing of the InGaN increases continuously with pressure while those of InAlN strongly decreases at p=14 GPa.

Based on a pseudopotential scheme, the composition dependence of energy band-gaps of zinc-blende Mg x Zn 1-x Se ternary alloys in the composition range of 0≤x≤1 are determined. The effect of deviation of lattice constants of the alloys of interest from Vegard's law on the optical bowing parameter and system transition between the direct and indirect structures is discussed.

Based on the first-principles computations we show that the band gaps of monolayer and bilayer PtSe2 can be tuned over a wide range via strain engineering.
