- Abstract
Context: This investigation includes the structural and optoelectronic characteristics of both pure and Er-doped rock salt aluminium nitride (AlN). Upon introducing Er doping into the AlN host, the calculations reveal a rise in the atomic parameter. Incorporating Er into the system leads to enhancements in the static dielectric coefficient ɛ1(0), static reflectivity R(0), as well as static refractive index n(0), at zero frequency. After doping, the peaks of imaginary dielectric tensor, extinction coefficient and absorption coefficient shift towards lower energy levels. Various exchange correlation potentials are incorporated to compare the results of electronic and optical characteristics. Methods: We employed the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) approach with WIEN2k code in conjunction with the density functional theory (DFT). To explore the optoelectronic characteristics of both pure as well as doped systems, three distinct exchange correlation potentials are utilized: the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof Generalized Gradient Approximation (PBE-GGA), Modified Becke Johnson Generalized Gradient Approximations (mBJ + GGA) and Hubbard potential (GGA + U).
