Band structural and absorption characteristics of antimonene/bismuthene monolayer heterojunction calculated by first-principles.

ABSTRACT: The band gap of lateral heterojunctions (LHSs) can be continuously tuned by changing the widths of their components. In this work, Sb/Bi LHSs based on monolayer Sb and Bi atoms with armchair and zigzag interfaces are constructed, respectively. It exhibits an atom's number in planner-dependent tunable band gap and near-infrared range absorption characteristics. They are systematically studied by first-principles calculations. The widths are represented by the number (n) of Sb or Bi atom chains. When n increases from 2 to 8, the bandgaps of armchair Sb_n/Bi_n LHSs decrease from 0.89 to 0.67 eV, and the band gaps of zigzag Sb_n/Bi_n LHSs decrease from 0.92 to 0.76 eV. The partial density of states spectra indicate that the occupied states of the valence band are mainly provided by the Bi 6p orbitals. Additionally, the unoccupied states of the conduction band are always provided by the Sb 5p orbitals and Bi 6p orbitals. For Sb_n/Bi_n LHSs, the absorption edge along XX and YY directions move toward the long wavelength direction. These results provide an approach for the applications of two-dimensional materials in near-infrared devices.

Project description:To develop an algorithm for computing realistic digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) that match real cone-beam CT (CBCT) projections with no artificial adjustments.The authors used measured attenuation data from cone-beam CT projection radiographs of different materials to obtain a function to convert CT number to linear attenuation coefficient (LAC). The effects of scatter, beam hardening, and veiling glare were first removed from the attenuation data. Using this conversion function the authors calculated the line integral of LAC through a CT along rays connecting the radiation source and detector pixels with a ray-tracing algorithm, producing raw DRRs. The effects of scatter, beam hardening, and veiling glare were then included in the DRRs through postprocessing.The authors compared actual CBCT projections to DRRs produced with all corrections (scatter, beam hardening, and veiling glare) and to uncorrected DRRs. Algorithm accuracy was assessed through visual comparison of projections and DRRs, pixel intensity comparisons, intensity histogram comparisons, and correlation plots of DRR-to-projection pixel intensities. In general, the fully corrected algorithm provided a small but nontrivial improvement in accuracy over the uncorrected algorithm. The authors also investigated both measurement- and computation-based methods for determining the beam hardening correction, and found the computation-based method to be superior, as it accounted for nonuniform bowtie filter thickness. The authors benchmarked the algorithm for speed and found that it produced DRRs in about 0.35 s for full detector and CT resolution at a ray step-size of 0.5 mm.The authors have demonstrated a DRR algorithm calculated from first principles that accounts for scatter, beam hardening, and veiling glare in order to produce accurate DRRs. The algorithm is computationally efficient, making it a good candidate for iterative CT reconstruction techniques that require a data fidelity term based on the matching of DRRs and projections.
