摘要
Origin of the direct band gap of Li2CN2 is studied by first-principle calculations. For this purpose, electronic structure of Li2CN2 is compared with that of a hypothetical body centered tetragonal [CN2](2-) lattice equivalent to Li2CN2 in the number of valence electrons. Li2CN2 can be viewed as [CN2](2-) lattice whose distorted tetrahedral sites are occupied by Li+ ions. [CN2](2-) lattice shows an indirect band gap between the Z point as the valence band maximum and the Gamma point as the conduction band minimum. The occupation of the distorted tetrahedral sites in [CN2](2-) lattice by Li+ causes the formation of covalent bonds between Li and N, resulting in a large downward shift in the energy position of the Z point of the conduction band. As the result, the Z point is exposed as the conduction band minimum, which is the origin of the direct band gap in Li2CN2.
