Abstract:
Zirconium alloys are subjected to a fast neutron flux in nuclear reactors, inducing the creation of a large number of point defects, both vacancy and self-interstitial. These point defects then diffuse and can be trapped by their different sinks or can cluster to form larger defects, such as vacancy and interstitial clusters. In this work, the trapping capability of small-vacancy clusters (two/three vacancies, V2/V3) in the α-Zr doped with alloying elements (Sn, Fe, Cr, and Nb) has been investigated by first-principle calculations. Calculation results show that for the supercells of α-Zr containing 142-zirconium atoms with the two-vacancy cluster, alloying elements of Sn and Nb in the second vacant site (V2) and Cr in the first vacant site (V1) are more easily trapped by two vacancies, respectively. However, the two sites are both captured more easily by two vacancies for Fe in the supercells of α-Zr containing 142-zirconium atoms inside due to the similar value of the Fermi level. For the supercells of α-Zr containing 141-zirconium atoms with the three-vacancy cluster, the alloying element of Sn in the third vacant site (V’3), Fe in the first vacant site (V’1), and Cr and Nb in the second vacant site (V’2) are more easily trapped by three vacancies, respectively.

Abstract:
Facet and defect engineering have achieved great success in improving the catalytic performance of CeO2, but the inconsistent reports on the synergistic effect of facet and oxygen vacancy and the lack of investigation on the heavily doped oxygen vacancy keeps it an attractive subject. Inspired by this, CeO2 nanocrystals with selectively exposed crystalline facets (octahedron, cube, sphere, rod) and abundant oxygen vacancies have been synthesized to investigate the synergistic effect of facet and heavily doped oxygen vacancy. The contrasting electrochemical behavior displayed by diverse reduced CeO2 nanocrystals verifies that oxygen vacancy acts distinctly on different facets. The thermodynamically most stable CeO2 octahedron enclosed by heavily doped (111) facets surprisingly exhibited the optimum non-enzymatic H2O2 sensing performance, with a high sensitivity (128.83 µA mM−1 cm−2), a broad linear range (20 µM~13.61 mM), and a low detection limit (1.63 µM). Meanwhile, the sensor presented satisfying selectivity, repeatability, stability, as well as its feasibility in medical disinfectants. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of facet and oxygen vacancy was clarified by the inclined distribution states of oxygen vacancy and the electronic transmission property. This work enlightens prospective research on the synergistic effect of alternative crystal surface engineering strategies.

Abstract:
The energies and configurations of interstitials and vacancies in the ordered compounds CuTi and CuTi2 were determined using atomistic simulation with realistic embedded-atom potentials. The formation energy of an antisite pair was found to be 0.385 and 0.460 eV in CuTi and CuTi2, respectively. In both compounds, the creation of a vacancy by the removal of either a Cu or Ti atom resulted in a vacant Cu site, with an adjacent antisite defect in the case of the Ti vacancy. The vacant Cu site in CuTi was found to be very mobile within two adjacent (001) Cu planes, with a migration energy of 0.19 eV, giving rise to two-dimensional migration. The vacancy migration energy across (001) Ti planes, however, was 1.32 eV, which could be lowered to 0.75 or 0.60 eV if one or two Cu antisite defects were initially present in these planes. In CuTi2, the vacancy migration energy of 0.92 eV along the (001) Cu plane was significantly higher than in CuTi. The effective vacancy formation energies were calculated to be 1.09 eV and 0.90 eV in CuTi and CuTi2, respectively. Interstitials created by inserting either a Cu or Ti atom had complicated configurations in which a Cu 〈111〉 split interstitial was surrounded by two or three Ti antisite defects. The interstitial formation energy was estimated to be 1.7 eV in CuTi and 1.9 eV in CuTi2.

Abstract:
We have developed a method of managing vacancy information of a large parking lot in a distributed manner using only intervehicle communication. A group of parking spaces is defined as a cluster. Vacancy information of a cluster is managed by a vehicle in it. This vehicle is called a cluster head. The proposed method generates a communication path topology between cluster heads. The topology is a tree structure with the cluster head of the cluster nearest to the parking lot entrance as the root node. Cluster heads are ranked in order of the number of vacant spaces and the distance to the shop entrance. The vehicle entering the parking lot collects vacancy information of clusters. This information is transmitted along the tree structure from the lowest ranking cluster head. We have developed a simulation model for a parking lot that can accommodate nearly 1,000 vehicles and used it to evaluate the proposed method. We have confirmed that the proposed method generates less communication traffic and enables the vehicle entering a parking lot to collect vacancy information about the area near the shop entrance with a higher probability and in a shorter time.

Abstract:
Cubic zirconia (c-ZrO2) is studied using Density Functional Theory with Hubbard-U corrections (DFT+U). It is shown that the determination of the U-parameters from first principles leads to values for U(Zr-4d) and U(O-2p) which are very different from standard choices. The calculated band gap with these values for U closely matches the experimental gap. Oxygen vacancies are studied using this approach, and it is found that it is possible to closely reproduce the vacancy migration energies calculated with a hybrid functional. The oxygen vacancy is associated with two excess electrons which localize in the vacancy’s cavity. In the presence of these excess electrons, the barrier for vacancy migration is very high. If instead, a charged vacancy VO2+ is considered, its mobility increases considerably—an effect that is attributed to the absence of space charges localized in the cavity.

Abstract:
Abstract Developing low-cost, efficient, and stable photocatalysts is one of the most promising methods for large-scale solar water splitting. As a metal-free semiconductor material with suitable band gap, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted attention in the field of photocatalysis, which is mainly attributed to its fascinating physicochemical and photoelectronic properties. However, several inherent limitations and shortcomings—involving high recombination rate of photocarriers, insufficient reaction kinetics, and optical absorption—impede the practical applicability of g-C3N4. As an effective strategy, vacancy defect engineering has been widely used for breaking through the current limitations, considering its ability to optimize the electronic structure and surface morphology of g-C3N4 to obtain the desired photocatalytic activity. This review summarizes the recent progress of vacancy defect engineered g-C3N4 for solar water splitting. The fundamentals of solar water splitting with g-C3N4 are discussed first. We then focus on the fabrication strategies and effect of vacancy generated in g-C3N4. The advances of vacancy-modified g-C3N4 photocatalysts toward solar water splitting are discussed next. Finally, the current challenges and future opportunities of vacancy-modified g-C3N4 are summarized. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis and guidance for future research on the design and development of highly efficient defective g-C3N4.

Abstract:
Regardless of its good electron-transfer ability and chemical stability, pure Zn2SnO4 (ZSO) still has intrinsic deficiencies of a narrow spectral response region, poor absorption ability, and high photo-activated carrier recombination rate. Aiming to overcome the deficiencies above-mentioned, we designed a facile hydrothermal route for etching ZSO nanoparticles in a dilute acetic acid solution, through which efficient oxygen vacancy defect engineering was accomplished and SnO2−x nanocrystals were obtained with an ultrafine particle size. In comparison with the untreated ZSO nanoparticles, the specific surface area of SnO2−x nanocrystals was substantially enlarged, subsequently leading to the notable augmentation of active sites for the photo-degradation reaction. Aside from the above, it is worth noting that SnO2−x nanocrystals were endowed with a broad spectral response, enhancing light absorption capacity and the photo-activated carrier transfer rate with the aid of oxygen vacancy defect engineering. Accordingly, SnO2−x nanocrystals exhibited significantly enhanced photoactivity toward the degradation of the organic dye rhodamine B (RhB), which could be imputed to the synergistic effect of increasing active sites, intensified visible-light harvesting, and the separation rate of the photo-activated charge carrier caused by the oxygen vacancy defect engineering. In addition, these findings will inspire us to open up a novel pathway to design and prepare oxide compound photocatalysts modified by oxygen vacancy defects in pursuing excellent visible-light photoactivity.

Both the formation and migration energies of a single vacancy migrating intra- and inter-layer of the CuAg-terminated (001) surface or Cu-terminated (001) surface for Cu3Ag ordered alloy have been calculated by using the modified analytical embedded-atom method (MAEAM) with the molecular dynamics (MD) method. The surface effects on the vacancy formation and migration are all down to 6L for the CuAg-terminated (001) surface, but is respectively down to 5L and 6L for the Cu-terminated (001) surface.

Abstract:
Pb-free double halide perovskites have drawn immense attention in the potential photocatalytic application, due to the regulatable bandgap energy and nontoxicity. Herein, we first present a study for CO2 conversion on Pb-free halide perovskite Cs2AgBiBr6 under state-of-the-art first-principles calculation with dispersion correction. Compared with the previous CsPbBr3, the cell parameter of Cs2AgBiBr6 underwent only a small decrease of 3.69%. By investigating the adsorption of CO, CO2, NO, NO2, and catalytic reduction of CO2, we found Cs2AgBiBr6 exhibits modest adsorption ability and unsatisfied potential determining step energy of 2.68 eV in catalysis. We adopted defect engineering (Cl doping, I doping and Br-vacancy) to regulate the adsorption and CO2 reduction behavior. It is found that CO2 molecule can be chemically and preferably adsorbed on Br-vacancy doped Cs2AgBiBr6 with a negative adsorption energy of −1.16 eV. Studying the CO2 reduction paths on pure and defect modified Cs2AgBiBr6, Br-vacancy is proved to play a critical role in decreasing the potential determining step energy to 1.25 eV. Finally, we probe into the electronic properties and demonstrate Br-vacancy will not obviously promote the process of catalysis deactivation, as there is no formation of deep-level electronic states acting as carrier recombination center. Our findings reveal the process of gas adsorption and CO2 reduction on novel Pb-free Cs2AgBiBr6, and propose a potential strategy to improve the efficiency of catalytic CO2 conversion towards practical implementation.

Full text
Abstract:
Externality is an important issue for formulating the regulation policy of a taxi market. However, this issue is rarely taken into account in the current policy-making process, and it has not been adequately explored in prior research. This study extends the model proposed by Chang and Chu in 2009 with the aim of exploring the effect of externality on the optimization of the regulation policy of a cruising taxi market. A closed-form solution for optimizing the fare, vacancy rate, and subsidy of the market is derived. The results show that when the externality of taxi trips is taken into consideration, the optimal vacancy rate should be lower and the subsidy should be higher than they are under current conditions where externality is not considered. The results of the sensitivity analysis on the occupied and vacant distance indicate that the relation of the vacant distance to the marginal external cost is more sensitive than the occupied distance. The result of the sensitivity analysis on the subsidy shows the existence of a negative relationship between the marginal external cost and the optimal subsidy.

A model for size dependent vacancy formation energy of nanosolids (nanoparticles, nanowires and nanofilms) has been developed by the consideration of their surface free energy.

The relative variation of vacancy formation energy of nanoparticles, nanowires and nanofilms to bulk value at specified size follows 3:2:1. Furthermore, vacancy formation energy of nanosolids changes linearly with the reciprocal of size. The present results agree well with the predictions of BOLS and ECN theory.

Abstract:
Graphene is a type of two-dimensional material with special properties and complex mechanical behavior. In the process of growth or processing, graphene inevitably has various defects, which greatly influence the mechanical properties of graphene. In this paper, the mechanical properties of ideal monolayer graphene nanoribbons and monolayer graphene nanoribbons with vacancy defects were simulated using the molecular dynamics method. The effect of different defect concentrations and defect positions on the vibration frequency of nanoribbons was investigated, respectively. The results show that the vacancy defect decreases the vibration frequency of the graphene nanoribbon. The vacancy concentration and vacancy position have a certain effect on the vibration frequency of graphene nanoribbons. The vibration frequency not only decreases significantly with the increase of nanoribbon length but also with the increase of vacancy concentration. As the vacancy concentration is constant, the vacancy position has a certain effect on the vibration frequency of graphene nanoribbons. For nanoribbons with similar dispersed vacancy, the trend of vibration frequency variation is similar.

Abstract:
Phase stability of cation co-doped zirconia ceramics is examined. As the result, in contrast to the result in small amount of single cation doped zirconia, phase stability of co-doped zirconia ceramics can not be simply explained from ionic radius and valency of dopant or from the change in axis ratio. We focus on oxygen vacancy concentration and binding energy between oxygen vacancy and doped cation. By estimating phase stability from these factors, it is found that concentration of oxygen vacancy and the binding energy between the dopant and the oxygen vacancy are important factors for understanding the phase stability of zirconia ceramics.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the diffusion behaviors of different atoms at the Cu/Cu3Sn interface and the vacancy formation energy, diffusion energy barrier and vacancy diffusion activation energy. Design/methodology/approach The diffusion behaviors of different atoms at the Cu/Cu3Sn interface are analyzed, and the vacancy formation energy, diffusion energy barrier and vacancy diffusion activation energy are obtained using molecular dynamics simulation. The nudged elastic band method is used to evaluate diffusion energy barrier for Cu/Cu3Sn system. Findings It is found that the vacancies in the Cu/Cu3Sn interface promote the interfacial diffusion, and the formation energy of Cu vacancy in the Cu crystal is larger than that in Cu3Sn crystal. In addition, the formation energies of Cu1 vacancy and Cu2 vacancy are close to each other in Cu3Sn crystal, and they are all less than the formation energy of Sn vacancy. Furthermore, the vacancy diffusion barrier and vacancy diffusion activation energy of the Cu/Cu3Sn interface are calculated, and the results show that the vacancy diffusion activation energy of Sn was higher than that of Cu. Finally, by comparison of diffusion activation energies of different diffusion mechanisms, Cu→Cu1vac is the most possible migration path at all temperatures. Originality/value It is concluded that the vacancies in Cu/Cu3Sn interface promote interfacial diffusion, and the activation energy of vacancy diffusion in most diffusion mechanisms decreases with the increase of temperature.

Abstract:
The interatomic exchange interactions and the electronic structure of Co-doped ZnO with and without oxygen vacancy have been investigated by the first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. It is found that the oxygen vacancy can strengthen the ferromagnetic exchange interaction between Co atoms and might be available for carrier mediation. The oxygen vacancy near to the Co atoms is more favorable for the ferromagnetic ground state.

Abstract:
Molecular dynamics simulation is performed on the inter-tube friction force and energy dissipation of double-walled carbon nanotube oscillators with vacancy defects. It is found that there are vacancy defect-size and temperature dependences of the friction force between the inner tube and the defective outer tube. The original distance between the “hole” formed by the vacancy carbon atoms and the inserted end of the core has a significant influence on the oscillation profile.

Abstract:
Heterostructures based on layered materials are considered next-generation photocatalysts due to their unique mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. In this work, we conducted a systematic first-principles study on the structure, stability, and electronic properties of a 2D monolayer WSe2/Cs4AgBiBr8 heterostructure. We found that the heterostructure is not only a type-II heterostructure with a high optical absorption coefficient, but also shows better optoelectronic properties, changing from an indirect bandgap semiconductor (about 1.70 eV) to a direct bandgap semiconductor (about 1.23 eV) by introducing an appropriate Se vacancy. Moreover, we investigated the stability of the heterostructure with Se atomic vacancy in different positions and found that the heterostructure was more stable when the Se vacancy is near the vertical direction of the upper Br atoms from the 2D double perovskite layer. The insightful understanding of WSe2/Cs4AgBiBr8 heterostructure and the defect engineering will offer useful strategies to design superior layered photodetectors.

Abstract:
We have investigated the magnetic properties, the electronic structure, and the formation energy of wurtzite GaN nanowires (NWs) with gallium vacancies by using the density-functional theory. The NW has been constructed along the [0001] direction. It was found that Ga vacancies prior to reside on the NW surface due to the lower formation energy. Interestingly, it was found that the GaN NWs with a Ga vacancy can show induced local magnetic moment in N atoms, with a magnetic moment about 0.60 uB. The study of vacancy-vacancy interactions indicates that the NWs prefer ferromagnetic ground state. We further confirmed that the total magnetic moments can be increased by increasing the Ga vacancy concentration without significant energy cost. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the recent experimental observations. Our findings are helpful to gain a more novel understanding of structural and spin properties of Ga vacancy in wurtzite GaN NWs, and also provide a possible way to generate the low dimensional magnetic GaN nanostructures by introducing Ga vacancies instead of doping with transition-metal atoms.

Abstract:
The effect of thermally generated equilibrium carrier distribution on the vacancy generation, recombination, and mobility in a semiconductor heterostructure with an undoped quantum well is studied. A different rate of thermally generated equilibrium carriers in layers with different band gaps at annealing temperatures forms a charge-carrier density gradient along a heterostructure. The nonuniform spatial distribution of charged vacancy concentration that appears as a result of strong dependence in the vacancy formation rate on the local charge-carrier density is revealed. A model of vacancy-mediated diffusion at high temperatures typical for post-growth annealing that takes into account this effect and dynamics of nonequilibrium vacancy concentration is developed. The change of atomic diffusivity rate in time that follows on the of spatial vacancy distribution dynamics in a model heterostructure with quantum wells during a high-temperature annealing at fixed temperatures is demonstrated by computational modeling.
