Description

The electronic structure of SrAl2O4 is calculated by density functional method and exchange and correlation have been treated by the generalized gradient approximation within the scheme due to Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof. The bond length and bond covalency are also calculated by chemical bond method. Compared with the SrAl2O4 bulk crystal, the bond covalency of nanocrystal has an increasing trend; its band gap also is wider; the bond lengths of SrAl2O4 nanocrystal become shorter, which is responsible for the change of the covalency and band gap
