Abstrakt: | Investigated the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of copper pyrophosphate dihydrate (CuPPD) by the first-principle calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT). Simulations were performed with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of the exchangecorrelation functional (Exc) supplemented by an on-site Coulomb self-interaction (U–Hubbard term). It was confirmed that the GGA method did not provide a satisfactory result in predicting the electronic energy band gap width (Eg) of the CuPPD crystals. Simultaneously, we measured the Eg of CuPPD nanocrystal placed inside mesoporous silica using the ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS) technique. The proposed Hubbard correction for Cu-3d and O-2p states at U = 4.64 eV reproduces the experimental value of Eg = 2.34 eV. The electronic properties presented in this study and the results of UV–VIS investigations likely identify the semiconductor character of CuPPD crystal, which raises the prospect of using it as a component determining functional properties of nanomaterials, including quantum dots. |
