Density functional theory, Large unit cell, InN wurtzite nanocrystal. We have stimulated the electronic properties of wurtzite Indium Nitride by using density functional theory (DFT). The energy gap is size dependent at which E g increase with decreasing the size of InN nanocrystals. Also the lattice constant behaves in the same way as energy gap do. The cohesive energy is also calculated for the InN nanocrystals for 4, 8, 32 and 64 core atoms. Results shows that the cohesive energy values become larger as the size of core atoms increases and we predict that when we go for larger sizes the value of the cohesive energy will tend to be the same value of bulk InN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
