Description

Energy band diagrams of LaCuOCh (Ch=S, Se and Te) were calculated by afull-potential linearized augmented plain-wave method. The calculations based on localdensity approximation with/without an on-site Coulomb repulsion parameter wereattempted to examine the energy levels of La 4f states. The results of the calculationsshowed that the on-site correlation parameter is necessary to evaluate the energy levelsof La 4f states appropriately. The calculations for LaCuOCh with the on-site correlationparameter revealed that LaCuOS and LaCuOSe have almost the same energy bandstructure with a direct-allowed-type band gap, while LaCuOTe has significantlydifferent conduction band structure that exhibits an indirect-type band gap. Thisdifference in the electronic structure between LaCuOCh (Ch=S, Se and Te) is consistentwith the observed optical properties of these materials.
