“…At the same time, lots of studies on anion‐substituted ZnO can bring many excellent properties, such as tune bandgap to achieve energy band engineering. Hence, the present study is focused to systematically investigate the structures and the related properties of ZnOTe alloys under high pressure using the density functional theory.…”

Based on the ab initio evolutionary algorithm, the Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography (USPEX) code is used to search for the candidate structures of ZnOTe alloys below 20 GPa. Herein, several metastable structures of ZnO1 – xTex alloys are proposed, namely, Zn4O3Te, Zn2OTe, and Zn5O2Te3 with space groups I‐42m, I‐42d, and C2/m structure, to be stable at 0–10, 0–18, and 0–4 GPa, respectively. From the electronic band structures, it is found that the C2/m Zn5O2Te3 is a metal phase, and the other two structures are semiconductors. Further results show that the bandgap of ZnO1 − xTex first decreases and then increases at an ambient condition with the increase in the Te content, which is in agreement with previous theoretical results, and this trend is also confirmed by the imaginary part of the dielectric function. In addition, the calculated dielectric function results show that the polarization capability of the material is enhanced with the increase in the Te content.
