Ab Initio Calculation of Excitonic Effects in the Optical Spectra of Semiconductors
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ab initio approach to the calculation of excitonic effects in the optical absorption spectra of semiconductors and insulators is formulated. It starts from a quasiparticle band structure calculation and is based on the relevant Bethe-Salpeter equation. An application to bulk silicon shows a substantial improvement with respect to previous calculations in the description of the experimental spectrum, for both peak positions and line shape.

Halogenated Graphdiyne and Graphyne Single Layers: A Systematic Study
Graphyne and graphdiyne families of flat carbon (sp2/sp) networks with high degrees of π-conjunction are attracting much attention due to their promising electronic, optical, and mechanical properties. In the present investigation we have studied the structural, mechanical, electrical and optical properties of halogenated graphdiyne and graphyne. The optical spectra of pure and halog...
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 کاملDynamical screening at the metal–semiconductor interface and excitonic superconductivity
We examine the possibility of excitonic superconductivity at a metal–semiconductor interface. An ab initio RPA calculation of the screened Coulomb electron–electron interaction is performed for the silicon–jellium multilayer model. The superconducting kernel for this multilayered system is found to be positive in the whole frequency range considered. We show that the inclusion of local field ef...

متن کاملOptical absorption in degenerately doped semiconductors: Mott transition or Mahan excitons?
Electron doping turns semiconductors conductive even when they have wide fundamental band gaps. The degenerate electron gas in the lowest conduction-band states, e.g., of a transparent conducting oxide, drastically modifies the Coulomb interaction between the electrons and, hence, the optical properties close to the absorption edge. We describe these effects by developing an ab initio technique...
