摘要

Li doping is a promising method for achieving metallization of α-rhombohedral boron (a-boron for short), which is a potential candidate for a high-T_c superconducting material. Toward this end, a serious drawback has been the difficulty of doping α-boron, even though there are theoretical predictions claiming that it should be easy. This discrepancy has been systematically studied by the ab initio pseudopotential method through calculations of various structural and phonon properties of the material. For this study, a comparison with β-boron is important because experimental data are available in this case. The present results demonstrate that while Li doping is difficult for a-boron under normal conditions, it is easy for β-boron, which is completely consistent with experiments. The difference between these crystals originates from the contrasting characteristics of the bonding. For a-boron, the bonding requirement of the host crystal is fulfilled so well that the only way for a Li atom to enter the crystal is through the antibonding states. Electronically, this is favorable because it causes an almost perfect rigid-band shift without modifying the bonding nature of the host crystal. In terms of structural effects, Li doping causes a slight decrease in the cell angle α_(rh) as well as softening of the elastic properties. A striking effect of Li doping is manifested in substantial phonon softening of the librational mode. These changes can be regarded as reliable criteria for the experimental detection of Li inclusion. On the other hand, β-boron can be characterized as a frustrated system, and the crystal has a propensity to welcome guest atoms in order to eliminate ill-connected bonds. As a result, even though Li is easily incorporated into β-boron, the carriers are not activated for electrical conduction. The remaining problem is how to overcome the difficulty of Li doping of a-boron. The most important contribution of this study lies in demonstrating the usefulness of high-pressure synthesis as an efficient doping method.
