제목 | A first principles study on SbxOy polymorphs |
초록 | Antimony oxides are widely used as oxidation catalysts, optoelectronic, and magnetic materials.[1] Antimony oxides come in a range of stoichiometry and polymorphs, namely α-Sb2O3, β-Sb2O3, γ-Sb2O3, α-SbO2, β-SbO2 and Sb2O5, arising from the existance of various possible oxidation states of antimony. There have been recent efforts to synthesize and characterize these polymorphs [2, 3], however a deep fundamental understanding of these oxide materials at a microscopic level is still lacking. In this work, as a first step, we employ first-principles based density-functional theory calculations [4] to determine the bulk properties of these oxide polymorphs, detailing their energetics, atomic, and electronic structure. This preliminary study provides a platform for our future work on studying the superhydrophobic nature of antimony oxide nanostructures. [1] H. S. Chin, K. Y. Cheong, and K. A. Razak, J. Mater.
