摘 要:Ag@ZnS nanoparticles display enhanced photocatalytic efficiency and good photoelectric properties compared to their single-component counterparts in the process of forming a core-shell structure using an Ag cluster as the inner core of a ZnS outer *** this study,first-principles calculations were used to investigate the structural,electronic,and optical properties of Ag_n@(ZnS)42(n=6-16)core-shell *** calculated results show significant even-odd oscillations in the structural stability,that is,Ag@ZnS nanostructures with an even number of Ag_n core atoms are relatively more stable than those with an odd number of core *** secondorder differences in the total energies(Δ2E)and the core-shell interaction energy Ecsindicate that a Ag12@(ZnS)42nanostructure is the most stable configuration.A significant red shift was found in Ag_n@(ZnS)42nanoparticles in the absorption spectrum compared with a(ZnS)48nanostructure,which is likely attributed to the strong electron interactions between the Ag core and the ZnS shell.
