First-Principles Study of Structure, Electronic and Optical Properties of HgSe in Zinc Blende (B3) Phase
In this paper, the structural parameters, energy bands structure, density ofstates and charge density of HgSe in the Zincblende(B3) phase have been investigated.The calculations have been performed using the Pseudopotential method in theframework of density functional theory (DFT) by Quantum Espresso package. Theresults for the electronic density of states (DOS) show tha...
متن کاملAb-initio study of Electronic, Optical, Dynamic and Thermoelectric properties of CuSbX2 (X=S,Se) compounds
Abstract: In this work we investigate the electronic, optical, dynamic and thermoelectric properties of ternary copper-based Chalcogenides CuSbX2 (X= S, Se) compounds. Calculations are based on density functional theory and the semi-classical Boltzmann theory. Computations have been carried out by using Quantum-Espresso (PWSCF) package and ab-initio pseudo-potential technique. To estimate the e...
متن کاملStructure and electronic properties of single–walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes using first-principles methods
The structure and the electronic properties of single-walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes (n, 0; n=4–10) were investigated using first-principles calculations based on a density functional theory. A plane–wave basis set with periodic boundary conditions in conjunction with Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudo-potential was employed. The energy gap of ZB3C<su...

متن کاملImpact of rattlers on thermal conductivity of a thermoelectric clathrate: a first-principles study.
We investigate the role of rattling guest atoms on the lattice thermal conductivity of a type-I clathrate Ba_{8}Ga_{16}Ge_{30} by first-principles lattice dynamics. Comparing phonon properties of filled and empty clathrates, we show that rattlers cause tenfold reductions in the relaxation time of phonons by increasing the phonon-phonon scattering probability. Contrary to the resonant scattering...
