Materials design for new functional semiconductors by ab initio electronic structure calculation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of ab initio calculation for materials design is an interdisciplinary research that bridges between computational physics and applied physics. It will become indispensable for future generations in the 21st century where there will be a major shift in the structure of industry as industrialized societies evolve into information societies. Based on the successful application of materials design to the development of new spin control methods for semiconductor spintronics and new valence electron control methods known as simultaneous codoping in wide band-gap semiconductors, it is expected that ab initio calculation will prove to be a powerful tool with considerable future potential.

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...
