Dipole-allowed direct band gap silicon superlattices
Silicon is the most popular material used in electronic devices. However, its poor optical properties owing to its indirect band gap nature limit its usage in optoelectronic devices. Here we present the discovery of super-stable pure-silicon superlattice structures that can serve as promising materials for solar cell applications and can lead to the realization of pure Si-based optoelectronic d...
متن کاملTerahertz band-gap in InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices
We demonstrate theoretically that it is possible to realize terahertz (THz) fundamental band-gap between the electron mini-band in the InAs layer and the heavy-hole mini-band in the GaSb layer in InAs/GaSb based type II superlattices (SLs). The THz band-gap can be tuned by varying the sample growth parameters such as the well widths of the InAs and/or GaSb layers. The presence of such band-gap ...
متن کاملTowards efficient band structure and effective mass calculations for III-V direct band-gap semiconductors
The band structures and effective masses of III-V semiconductors InP, InAs, InSb, GaAs, and GaSb are calculated using the GW method, the Heyd, Scuseria, and Ernzerhof hybrid functional, and modified BeckeJohnson combined with the local-density approximation MBJLDA —a local potential optimized for the description of the fundamental band gaps F. Tran and P. Blaha, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 226401 200...
متن کاملDirect Band Gap Wurtzite Gallium Phosphide Nanowires
The main challenge for light-emitting diodes is to increase the efficiency in the green part of the spectrum. Gallium phosphide (GaP) with the normal cubic crystal structure has an indirect band gap, which severely limits the green emission efficiency. Band structure calculations have predicted a direct band gap for wurtzite GaP. Here, we report the fabrication of GaP nanowires with pure hexago...
متن کاملTailoring the Energy Band Gap of Transition Metal Doped TiO2 Thin Film
Water splitting for hydrogen production under sunlight using TiO2 as photo catalyst provides a better route for solar energy and attracts the attention of many researchers. The photo catalytic activity of TiO2 under sunlight irradiation depends on the band gap energy. The transition metal doped TiO2 shows an edge over TiO2 in optical absorbance and photo catalytic activity. Thin film of Cr dope...
