ZnO and BeO are attractive materials given their unique physical parameters, wide direct band gap of 3.37 eV and 10.6 eV for ZnO and BeO, respectively, and high exciton binding energy. These good parameters make them suitable for various applications, ultraviolet (UV) emission and detection, surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, gas sensors, and transparent conducting electrodes. For these reasons, our work is focused on the investigation of the band structure and density of states of both ZnO and BeO semiconductors using the density functional theory (DFT) with two terms of exchange and correlation, generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and local density approximation (LDA). The structural parameters are calculated, the values of the average bond length are well compared with other data. The electronic properties such as band structures of both ZnO and BeO compounds are determined and compared with available values of energy gap and interpreted chemically. |
